Will 2014 be the GOP's last gasp

[rightwinger]

Demographics and the GOP Commentary Magazine

Demographics may leave the GOP on the outside looking in after 2014. If the GOP does win the Senate in 2014, it may be there last chance to influence national politics. The changing demographics are going to start breaking down the GOP's decided advantage in winning congressional races though gerrymandering,

Even the reliable Red Texas is beginning to turn Purple. Unless the GOP opens their tent to a great variety of voters, they may be doomed to join the fate of the Whig and the Liberty republican parties.

Your opinion?

Here's a question for you. Do you really want one party to have complete control of the government?

please think before answering, and remember that the GOP could be the party in control.

If the GOP no longer presents an option that is palatable to the public, why should they expect to get elected out of sympathy?

2014 will be the Republicans last gasp

Because Dems are defending their wins from 2008 and it is a mid term election, Repubs may just take the Senate

If they take the Senate, they will convince themselves that Amerca has bought their message and carry that message into 2016

Republicans can only take a 51-49 advantage in the Senate.....Dems can take 55-60 seats when they win their cycle
Republicans can take 280 Electoral votes to win the Whitehouse, Dems take 320 to 350

Numbers are not adding up

And by 2016, it will become painfully obvious to even the GOP leaders that their numbers are dropping. Their messages and agendas are old and out of date....(here come the constitutional comments). It may be too late for them to turn the page and rewrite their platform to fit the 21st Century.

The voting pendulum swings back and forth. When it swings for the Republicans, they barely get a majority. When it swings for the Dems, they get close to 60%

Not since 1932 or 1974 and 1976.

The option is clear. Socialism and cultural decadence vs. sound fiscal policy and a decent law abiding society.

And 1964

More like rising the living standards for middle class and poor and social equality...
or a plutocracy with religious nutjobs.

Your opinion?

Sigh, yet another example of taking voters for granted. You just assume that all the minorities are going to line up with Democrats. I have to ask why? Republicans have never hurt minorities and they don't now. Not so with the democrats and it is time for minorities to realize that fact. The one thing that republicans seem to have a problem doing is countering the left wing propaganda.

The GOP creates it own propaganda with its exclusionary policies. They drive another nail in their coffin each time they refuse to consider immigration reform

So you dumb shits keep telling us.
Last time it was the "Govt shut down".

We laughed at you then and we laugh at you now.

omg, you're all over the map. the polls show the people are not wanting Obama's type of immigration reform, so how is that going to drive a nail in the gops coffin? or that's just another of your wet dreams again?
come down into the heartbeat of real America dear. 70% of the people disapproves of Obama and his party of democrat comrades in arms, what don't you get about that

It is a wedge issue that the liberals are going to hammer on at least past the mid-terms. NO one in their right mind thinks that flooding the US with uneducated and unskilled labor is a good idea, or no one should. No one in their right mind can think that these "sparks" are the future of America. If they are then we are screwed worse then I thought.

The left will scream that we must accept everyone who can swim the Rio Grande river then they will bitch about income inequality. What a bunch of hypocrites. With the left wing vision of America you would think they would be telling the illegals to flee the country not come to it.

The plan from the GOP is to wait, wait, and wait and hope that the immigration issue just goes away. If the come up with a moderate immigration policy, they lose. If they don't come up with a policy they lose. So....they will do nothing.....an in the long term...lose.

Immigration kills republicans no matter what they do

So they do nothing and hope the issue goes away....just like they did on healthcare

Your opinion?

The U.S. operates on a two-party system. As long as this is so, the GOP will never die, because it will always be a haven for racists, xenophobes, sexists, Christ-stains, and other bigots. It will always be the party of "no," the party opposed to the newest ideas we enlightened lybyryls in the Democratic Party come up with, the party of "this will DESTROY America!" sensationalism, and so on.

We're definitely scoring a lot of wins and have the Wrongpublicans on the run, but we can't possibly hope to outright eliminate their presence in politics unless President Obama uses his rightful authority to declare the Wrongpublican Party a terrorist organization and arrest or shoot on sight every registered Wrongpublican in the country.

And before you conservatard bigots whine about "hurr durr executive orders," the authority of the President to designate any individuals or groups of individuals as terrorists is a lawfully-granted authority consented to by Congress. The bill that consented to President Obama exercising this long-standing power literally could not have passed without crucial votes from Wrongpublican legislators.

 

[Bush92]

Norton: In 2008 Democrats picked up 21 House states and 8 Senate seats. The House changed 24 months later when GOP picked up 63 congressional districts and 8 Senate seats. Obama received 52% of popular vote, far short of the 60% you touted earlier. In 1994 GOP picked up 54 House seats and 9 Senate seats. Modern history would seem to favor GOP.

Yes it seems like there are more welfare sponges and queers out there than hard working people to support them.

 

[Derideo_Te]

So when is the GOP coming up with new ideas?

When the old AWG guard dies off and the next generation picks up the torch from their cold dead hands.

Only the next generation won't be stuck on God, Gays and Guns anymore. They know those policies are dying with the AWG's. Instead the next generation of young GOP'ers will deal with reality. They will contribute cost effective ways to make healthcare less expensive for taxpayers. They will find ways to actually create jobs for hardworking Americans by instituting sane and reasonable tariffs on goods made cheaply overseas so that they would cost the same as if made here in America. They will promote education and responsible energy policies.

Yes, the AWG's will be spinning in their graves but they won't be able to do a damn thing about the new America that will be thriving without them.

I'm glad that you had no objection to the possible branding of the Wrongpublican Party as a terrorist organization. It shows how far you've come in your road to lybyryl enlightenment.

In 2008, Obama took 67% of the electoral vote, in 2012 he took 61%. Bush barely got over 50%

Dems had 60% of the Senate in 2008, they have 55% now. When republicans take the Senate they are lucky to have 52 seats

The GOP picked up 6 senate seats in 2010. Obama did win over 60% of the electoral college both of his elections. Bush never came remotely close to 60% in either of his elections.
