If this is what the GOP is all about then Rush is right they will become the third party with 10% of the vote in the future.

If this is what the GOP is all about then Rush is right they will become the third party with 10% of the vote in the future.

**********************

Many here have said the GOP is the new and emerging Whig party. More likely is that in the coming years - assuming we still have elections and have not dissolved as did the former Soviet Union - a withered and abandoned GOP consisting of cadre, staffers and their families will merge with the declining Democrats. Both parties as institutions are committed to post WWII liberalism, with elitism, globalism, the welfare state, and expanded government as goals. Both parties are opposed to individual liberty and limited government.

The merged parties’ base will consist of a few wealthy elites, the permanent welfare class, union members and government employees. People who produce useful goods and services, who value liberty, or both will belong to a new and somewhat decentralized Restoration party. It will not emerge from the old third parties, but probably will arise from the Tea Party movement.

I thought the tea party was just taking over the GOP. The 10% third party wouldn’t be the GOP, it would be ex GOP, with a new name.

I hope so. Let the GOP RINOs "reach across the aisle" and join Obama's communist Democrats. I've always felt (and said so) that the "moderate" GOP establishment is the real problem. This latest primary drama in Delaware is exposing the Republican party plutocrats for what they really are.
