We are witnessing the destruction of the Republican Party, and this great nation.

We recall the loss of two elections due to the third party candidate, Ross Perot, and we are determined not to repeat that fiasco.

We are now seeing, live on this thread and elsewhere, the same thing, played on a larger scale, with just enough of a twist so as to pass unrealized for what it is, until too late.

The left, directly and indirectly, with money and media, is funding and providing publicity for every publicity hound with an "(R)" after their name they can find.

We will certainly end up with one Republican nominee for President, and almost certainly not have a viable third party candidate.

But by the time we get there, 80% of those who cared who was the Republican nominee will be pissed off that their preferred choice didn't make it, and half of those will be so disgusted at the eventual choice that they refuse to get out of bed on Election Day to vote.

It doesn't matter who you favor, and who you despise. One of the candidates that I happen to favor, Mitt Romney, inspires just as much hatred as one of the candidates I despise, John McCain. Which way is which doesn't matter here.

The only Republican candidate who has half a chance of being supported by all Republicans, Fred Thompson, is getting zero support outside of his natural constituency, zero outside money, and zero mention in the mainstream media. Hence, his chances are discouragingly low.

Whomever does get the nomination will be the first choice of 20% of Republicans, the no-way-in-hades choice of another 20%, and something in between for the remaining.

There is no more certain way than this to ensure our widespread defeat in November, in national and local races. So far as I can recall, this degree of factionalism is unprecedented. It is not business as usual.

The bitter, divisive factionalism we see on this thread is a drop of rain from a darkening cloud of tyranny over our Grand Ol' Party, this election, our nation, and free people.

***And the most bitter, divisive factionalism comes from RINOs. This is a conservative website, not a GOP website. It has become inundated with partisans. The factionalism is what follows when that happens.
