2012 or never

Why 2012 Is the Republicans Last Chance -- New York Magazine

Republicans are worried this election could be their last chance to stop history. This is fear talking. But not paranoia.

These same editorials/opinions about the end of party have been around for over a hundred years. And then, we're still left with the same shitty parties.

Some fear that a second term for the Marxist will enable him to complete his goal of gaining enough moocher/welfare votes for the Democrats to maintain control from now until the US is fundamentally transformed into a dictatorship...meaning there will be no need of either party until the next revolution is over.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

 

[Decepticon]

Yes, just like many OTHER of Obama's plots. Lull you into a false sense of security by being reasonable for 4 years, before he BAM! Drops the socialist net and we're all trapped and he comes and takes away our guns and gives our daughters abortions.

Makes COMPLETE sense.

Ebb and flow. Times change and we change with 'em. Unfortunately we tend to change AFTER a calamity or catastrophe has occurred rather than before. This is bigger than just Obama and one election, we're talking the proper role of gov't and personal responsibiltiy here. If we make the wrong choice though, future generations will have to pay for it, and that's really my main issue.

There's no false sense of security. Nothing about the Marxist makes me feel secure. The quicker we get rid of his deceptive ass, the better we will be.

Were it not for the Constitution standing in his way, Obama would have already taken over. He tends to ignore the Constitution when he can get away with it.

They do have some serious image problems, foremost is their insistence that what is good for Billionaires is good for the rest of us. They are just not going to be able to sell that one again.

Actually we're not. Neither party resembles the party of the same name 100 years ago.

By the same logic, of course, the Republican Party as an institution is probably in no danger. But the GOP in its current manifestation -- as the party of the "conservative" movement -- is. What will ultimately replace it, though, is almost certainly not a new party, but a new GOP.

Their demographics are dwindling. Thats a fact.

Great, we'll be Greece times 100 in a decade or two. Congrats, you win. I'm sure your kids and grandkids will thank you.

It seems to me that Mexicans would be a natural fit for the Republican Party. They are hard working and deeply religious, mainly comprised of Roman Catholics. And they have strong family values.

This huge demographic would greatly strengthen the party and refresh it.

The party's incredibly stupid ideas about immigrants, and how to handle illegal immigration, are going to cause it to miss out on a gigantic opportunity to welcome the very kind of people of which it alleges to be comprised.

Bush's ideas about immigration reform were probably the only thing he actually got right.

Unfortunately, the party has been overrun with too many retards and assholes to see clearly enough.

I read somewhere that by 2050 latinos will have the largest demographic in the US.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

liberals and neo-communists are always on the verge of something HISTORICAL.......

in their own self inflated opinions of course........

HOPE & CHANGE !!!!! LOL

 

[HenryBHough]

Think of the deficit reduction achievable in November, 2012.

Re-elect the neo-Marxists and you'll save all the expense of congressional elections in 2014 and all the congressional and their support salaries as well.

Then in just two more years, the huge saving of not needing an election at all.

Benefits at the state level, too. No need for governors or state legislators, just managers appointed by our Dear Leader!

I just found this, recently.....​

"Tea Party my ass. This was nothing other than the Republican Party stealing the anger of a population that was fed up with the Republican Party’s own theft of their tax money at gunpoint to bail out the robbers of Wall Street and fraudulently redirecting it back toward electing the very people who stole all the ******* money!"

I always WONDERED why the Teabaggers were defending the clowns who were ripping-everyone-off!!!​

The modern GOP—the party of Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes—is staring down its own demographic extinction. Right-wing warnings of impending tyranny express, in hyperbolic form, well-grounded dread: that conservative America will soon come to be dominated, in a semi-permanent fashion, by an ascendant Democratic coalition hostile to its outlook and interests. And this impending doom has colored the party’s frantic, fearful response to the Obama presidency.

Exactly, well-said.

For republicans and conservatives it’s the fear of the known, that America is indeed changing, and that the ‘ascendant…coalition hostile to its outlook and interests’ will not only be Democratic, but will likely include ranks in the GOP as well.

The Republican Party had increasingly found itself confined to white voters, especially those lacking a college degree and rural whites who, as Obama awkwardly put it in 2008, tend to “cling to guns or religion.” Meanwhile, the Democrats had *increased their standing among whites with graduate degrees, particularly the growing share of secular whites, and remained dominant among racial minorities. As a whole, Judis and Teixeira noted, the electorate was growing both somewhat better educated and dramatically less white, making every successive election less favorable for the GOP. And the trends were even more striking in some key swing states. Judis and Teixeira highlighted Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona, with skyrocketing Latino populations, and Virginia and North Carolina, with their influx of college-educated whites, as the most fertile grounds for the expanding Democratic base.

Very true, and the GOP only manages to further alienate Hispanic Americans:

In the wake of his defeat, strategists like Karl Rove and Mike Murphy urged the GOP to abandon its stubborn opposition to reform. Instead, incredibly, the party adopted a more hawkish position, with Republicans in Congress rejecting even quarter-loaf compromises like the Dream Act and state-level officials like Jan Brewer launching new restrictionist crusades. This was, as Thomas Edsall writes in The Age of Austerity, “a major gamble that the GOP can continue to win as a white party despite the growing strength of the minority vote.”
