Or maybe it would be better for the true traditional GOPers to leave the party to the neo-cons and "reboot" the traditional GOP principals in a new party. The actual present GOP may now be a lost cause. Perhaps go back to the principles of the party of Lincoln! Or at least Eisenhower (in my opinion the best Republican Prez of the last century).
BTW - Have you seen Jon Stewart making fun of the Cantor/Romney/Jeb Bush pizza party? Apparently these guys are trying to "rebrand" the GOP, but all that they are talking about is the same tired old ideas in a new package (and, to tell you the truth, the package doesn't look all that different to me, either).
The GOP is toast. They have always depended on the middle/independent to win anything anyway. As long as they sounded moderate, the independents liked their tax and smaller government message. Now that their true stripes are showing with their concern and militancy of social issues like homosexuality and abortion, their disregard for the sciences like their stand on creation and global warming and their belief that all international conflict can be dealt with by attacking an opponent, The independents and moderates are now leaning left. By the way, to these neo-con fascists in the GOP, anybody that is left of their belief system is a liberal and they don't seem to have any problems shouting this out to everybody.
I was watching Joe Scarborough this morning on MSNBC and listened to him (he claims that he is only one of three Republicans left in America) state that America is unsafe because we cannot interrogate anybody anymore. This is the type of "way-out-there" thinking that makes it possible for Rush to be their leader. Oh, yeah, the GOP is toast and maybe, just maybe, this country will finally see a multiple party system emerge, and eliminate the two party system.
