"And as usual Republicans will think it is their winning charm and winning smiles that are coming riding in wearing white hats to win the day the cause for the sea-change this time around. In reality it is the socialist wing of the Democrat party imploding in on themselves causing the sea-change and the Republicans will be making all the wrong assumptions (as usual) and the Congress will be back to business as usual which is what got the R's thrown out the last time around. The R's haven't learned a damned thing while being stuck out in the wilderness again.

Go Pubbies. Throw it all away, again."

Bravo. Spoken with such.....

hauteur, Ron.

The pubbies, as you choose to call them, have learned a helluva lot more than the DemocRats have learned (granted, not saying much....but...). The problem with the Republican Party is that it's: a) been infiltrated heavily by leftie RINOs (they call them moles in the intelligence arena), and b) there is virtually no leadership, as yet, that one can point to and say "there, that's the person that can bring us out of this malaise and win the White House for sure...no question about it".

Then again, it's still early in the game, eh?

The ranks of the Republican Party have indeed been infiltrated and decimated with and by liberal Democrats. All through the 90's and on into the early 00's Dems were abandoning their sinking ships and climbing aboard the winning party at the time and thus flooding the 'R' party with liberal and socialist leaning RINO's.

I seem to recall warning all the middle of the road R's to be careful as this would likely cause the party ideology to shift leftwards. It was just too obvious to this conservative. But the middle of the roaders didn't care so long as the R-party had more R's than D's in Washington. Reminds me of the old addage of being careful for what you wish for.
