You're a daisy if you don't!

Some prominent Republicans seem to be feeling their oats, assuming what are sometimes infamously referred to as "RINOs" or Republicans in name only by the Conservative GOP base, eat oats, of course. Mitt Romney is merely channeling Jeb Bush here in an increasingly obvious last-minute GOP establishment gesture to reach out to Hispanics, perhaps especially in Colorado, as we move closer to election day.
On "Fox News Sunday, former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) said a Republican-led Senate would pass new, stronger legislation on immigration reform.
To be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the GOP welcoming more and more Hispanics into a Right-leaning fold. In fact, it needs to do that. Unfortunately, there are few if any across the GOP's traditional - and much broader - rank and file supporters who still believe they'll do it with anything other than something amounting to trying to be better Democrats, than the Democrats themselves.
Republican Mike McFadden tried that in his bid to oust Al Franken in Minnesota. He's currently down by a Real Clear Politics average of ten points. The Mitt Romney, Karl Rove and perhaps now Jeb Bush led GOP refuses to accept the reality that they never will, nor can they be better Democrats than actual Democrats. Furthermore, the growing lack of enthusiasm and numbers across what was once a vibrant GOP base as they continue to try may indeed signal bad years ahead for a national party increasingly out of touch with their own past supporters around the nation.

I’m not voting.
The GOP will win but it will have no mandate.
Just deport the illegals. Then we’ll see how much support the Democrats have.
Didn’t we hear this in 2010? This “pyrrhic victory” noise sounds strangely familiar.
Hillary is hoping for a GOP win so she can fight against the Evil government
Really? You’re not interested in knocking Udall and Hickenlooper off their perches?
At the time they promised to repeal Obamacare and ended up leaving us stuck with it.
I’m not expecting change in the new year.
I’m tired of all of this talk of Pyrrhic victories: If we win, we lose, in other words. Total BS if you ask me. The Dems, of course, never think and act that way. They fight to win EVERY election and so should we.
Yeah. Its just like the “Amnesty is a done deal” talk that comes up every 2 years.
When the GOP says “imigration reform”, it just means amnesty at a little slower pace with the GOP’s name on it.
They’re not my guys but let me put it this way: this election has put conservatives to sleep.
Its nothing like 2010. I remember I wanted to go and vote then - and I did. This year, I’m just not feeling it.
If we don't win, then I think the GOP is useless and needs to be replaced.
If we do win, and do nothing but support Obama's agenda, then I think the GOP is useless and needs to be replaced.
After the election comes the real time for choosing. The GOP needs to sell itself to me -- starting on Nov 5.
A velly intelesting article! Worth reading just to read ideas not often seen in print, except in the Comments sections.
Will vote tomorrow. Conservatively.
I agree. Should the GOP actually gain the majority in the senate and house tomorrow, their future survival depends upon whether or not they display some cojones and act like conservatives.
Should they not, it’s Katie bar the door. Repubs will become extinct - and CW-II will be a lot closer in the rear view mirror than it appears.
I didn’t vote for Romney. I couldn’t stand him.
But after watching election coverage that night, I knew I wouldn’t get my country back.
don’t vote? don’t complain...
I’m waiting til 2016.
If they prove themselves... they have my vote.
But I’m not expecting change next year.
