Not sure that the GOP is cohesive enough, these days, to be considered "controlled." It is not only in moral chaos, but intellectual confusion.

Frankly, I think that a small band of articulate & determined Conservatives, with enough financial support to get the word out, could take over what is otherwise clearly headed for the scrap heap of history. You do not need financial support comparable to what the so called "establishment" can muster; just enough to start & then manage a ground swell, that will respond to the factual betrayal of conscience that Pat details in this article.

My theory: the Hispanic vote is not going to be what either party expects. Rahm almost lost Chicago to a Hispanic who was supposed to be loyal to the Machine.

With enough Hispanics, they can start their own party. Do you know many who look forward to being ruled over by the likes of Sharpton? Do they really like Obama?

I'm hoping for a splintering of political parties, when the GOP can't deliver the voters they then sell out.

Think four parties--La Raza Progresiva, DemCommies, Tired Old Party and Conservative Republican. Do you think we'd have a chance then?
