The shape of things to come (John Derbyshire on the future of the GOP)

I actually think we should disband the Republican Party, all become Democrats, and try to destroy them from within.

Minorities have been conditioned to reflexively hate Republicans. Once everyone in the country is a Democrat, they won’t have that option any more and will have to vote on issues as opposed to the letter behind a candidate’s name.

Under that scenario, I actually like our chances.

A good list.

Add to that: fly DEEP under the radar in all of these things. Take the enemy by surprise. We need to study military tactics and strategies. This is war.

Once a pain threshold is reached, the 90% shift in the white vote to the GOP may occur overnight, in political terms.

This sounds exciting! It's like the latent heat of crystallization!

Start a thread on those parties and maybe someone will post on them to you, this thread is about the GOP.

As an unwilling union member for decades,

Paul, Goode and Johnson were GOP flip floppers, weren't they?

this thread is about the GOP.

And this time race was not a factor, it was the few million gonadal and religious voters that stayed home because Romney was Mormon and didn’t force rape victims to carry their rapist infected embryo. I’ll add that people also vote or abstain in accordance with their intelligence.

Your intelligence doesn't seem very high when it comes to voting and elections.

The most pro-Romney voting block was the most religious, and the most pro-life group in America, the Evangelical Christians, who voted 79% republican, those with no religious affiliation voted 26% republican.

How did you vote? Did you vote like a deeply religious, dedicated pro-lifer, or like a person unaffiliated with a religion?

I have no idea what your posts are about, or why you are posting your gibberish about other parties, or whatever you are trying to get out, to me.

[Alaska Wolf]

I have no idea what your posts are about

Obviously you don't want to face the fact that the GOP is not monolithic.

Derbyshire's point is that as whites shrink as a % of the total population, the GOP will become the white party much as the Democratic party is the black party - there may come a day when the GOP gets 90% of the white vote.

I don't think that will happen, Is there a party in South Africa or Zimbabwe that gets 90% of the white vote?

But it is ironic that White Liberals will be the 1st to be marginalized. Every election cycle more & more White Liberals are replaced by Minorities. There are cities like Los Angles and Philadelphia that will never have a White mayor again, soon you will be able to say that about states & governors.

Under that scenario, I actually like our chances.

You forgot the "/sarc" at the end.

[ansel12]

I just have not idea what you are chopping at, something about third parties I guess.

[Alaska Wolf]

I just have not idea

Are you drunk?

[ansel12]

I just don’t understand why you are posting this nonsense to me, post after post of nothing.

[ansel12]

OH! I think I get it now, You are trying to say something about the tea party?

To: Callahan
Akin was not the tea party candidate.

“Missouri, a bastion of the tea-party movement, has been shifting right in recent elections. The Tea Party Express and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin endorsed former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman in the GOP primary. Self-financing businessman John Brunner had the backing of FreedomWorks, a national tea party umbrella group.”

The tea party has been a stunning success, leading us to historical gains in 2010 for example, the gope has been fighting them tooth and nail, and as their disaster called Mitt Romney shows, the establishment doesn’t understand politics.

The Republican party is a white onion and the Democrats handily peal off layers and take them. They peal off the gay layer, the female layer, the senior layer, the lazy layer, the union layer, and the athiest layer. That leaves a really small layer that is doomed.

[Alaska Wolf]

I just don’t understand

What is it exactly that you fail to comprehend? Please be specific.

[Alaska Wolf]

OH! I think I get it now, You are trying to say something about the tea party?

Where did you get that idea? If I were trying to state something about the Tea Party, I would have named it.

[military cop]

that is my point. It’s time to stop with the high road statesman act in this party.

[rdb3]

I just think we need to stop the divisive crap and get back to work or the democrats will bowl us over like we weren’t even here.

Indeed! Personally, I'd love nothing more than that.

You'll understand that I'm not holding my breath though, right?

The pain you feel today is the strength you'll have tomorrow.
