The GOP has continued toe exporting American jobs thing far beyond where it should have stopped.

America need jobs.

Stop exporting jobs, bring back jobs, and restrict imports.

Now.

It’s dead, Jim. And you can throw fair elections and a working two-party system in the grave on top of it. We have a de-facto dictatorship complete with a Party-run media and propaganda filled schools. Never thought I’d live to see the day.

James says "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

Consider this question then: when was the last time the Republican party worked towards one of its stated party-planks?
I would say that such little works is indicative of a dead spirit (contrast GOP supporters with the libertarians or Ron Paul supporters) there is so little spirit in the GOP that it may as well be dead.

The Establishment GOP is Dead and that is a Good Thing

Author: Scott Gulbransen

Published: November 07, 2012 at 6:26 am

Last night’s gift of a second term for Barack Obama was a given. How can any of my fellow Conservatives be surprised?

For the past 20 years, we’ve been spoon-fed a load of bull from a set of Neconservative henchmen bent on only one thing: perpetuating a ruling elite far from the Founders vision of what America is and should be.

The fact that Mitt Romney won the GOP nomination in the first place made this result inevitable. A vulnerable, weak and leadership-lacking sitting President – overseeing a stagnant economy – sailed right back to the White House because the Republicans have no ideas. They have no vision for future America and they’re quickly shrinking their own base by missing the changing face of the country.

After the result became evident last night, despite the incessant ramblings of Karl Rove on Fox News who failed to grasp reality, misguided Conservatives, still bought into the load of bunk the establishment GOP is selling. They quickly turned their anger, sadness and disappointment at the media and the “stupid” voter. I get the visceral reaction but the anger is misplaced and doesn’t help the cause moving forward.

There is no doubt the mainstream media – on the left and right – openly campaigned for their candidate and also failed to cover key questions the American voter should have had answered. The media is truly dead; the veil of objectivism has been lifted. Ninety-percent of the media (that skews left or far-left) was complicit in covering up and hiding President Obama’s shortcomings. The only shortcomings they didn’t try and hide were those they simply couldn’t. Otherwise, they were an extension of the Obama campaign.

Even in the midst of victory last night, MSNBC (which a recent survey branded as the most biased of all the television networks) blowhard Chris Matthews actually thanked God for Hurricane Sandy. His hypothesis: it helped Obama win and derailed any momentum Romney may have had. What a sick, sick human being. ...

The GOP is done unless they make like dems and offer freebies. After the newly minted illegals become citizens, I suggested they should also up it by offering a free car or maybe a 50 inch TV and all the pot you want.

No, the GOP is not dead. Winning the U.S. House just after reapportionment, despite the Rats winning the presidency, is an accomplishment of note. Whether or not the GOP leverages it effectively is yet to be seen.

The GOP is bruised and battered, but not dead.

Sorry but the thread title is trite in my opinion. Somebody
always suggests that the losing party is on the ropes. And,
somebody else (in this case me) points out the the excesses
of the winning side will ensure the survival of the defeated
if nothing else. Otherwise there are some compeling points
in the article.

Conservative Party. Charter created to impose TERM LIMITS on its candidates AND STICK TO IT !

The name “Republican” sounds stuffy, “old”, “white”, and, frankly tainted from years of abuse. Even “Publicans” in the Bible are in disrepute. I’m DONE voting for any more “moderates” in the Republican Party that the GOP elites manipulate into that position. I’m tired of Rove and the rest of ‘em. Boehner and McConnell are just more of the same.

Get independent people like Herman Cain involved in starting the new party. It is time! - We’ve also got to quit letting the media scare us until we mess our britches!
