The world has changed. Our population is full of foreigners, and sissies.
Do you really think we have enough Americans with, even, one ball, who will stand against the wave of Socialism we are facing now or in the future?
When the absolute best we can do is McCain, and we place our future hopes on a candidate who was sliced and diced, or a candidate who has said he doesn’t want to be POTUS, do you, honestly, think we have a chance of putting the genie back in the bottle?
I mean, let’s be honest here. If you put 41, 42 and 43 in a bag and shook ‘em up, would you be able to tell the difference in any of them? I doubt it. And that’s representative of what we have to work with.
The GOP is gasping at it’s last breath. Wag’s right, we need a new identity, a new rallying point, a new Party.
No, I think a new party will fracture the center-right vote, and condemn us to minority status for as far as the eye can see.
You might be right about one thing, perhaps the country has changed substantially from those harrowing days of the mid seventies...but this is all the more reason why the center-right coalition must remain united. Staying unified is our only chance of victory over those who want to destroy our beloved Republic.
This is not another Whigs reprize, where the anti-slavery whigs and democrats bolt their respective parties and form the Republican party. Destroying the GOP would split the center-right vote, while the d-Rat party would remain for the most part intact.
Instead of citing the Whigs example, a better historical analogy for busting up the Republican Party could be found in what happened to the Democrats in 1860 when they splintered among three parties, causing that coaliton to lose to the unified party founded at Ripon, Wisconsin.
Fracturing the base is a sure-fire recipe for disaster in a dangerous world.
