A "supermajority" of the GOP we've borne witness to in the past decade would spell the end of the Republic as we know it.

Here's what it would mean:

- More money for wasteful government depts (education, justice, IRS)
- More violations of Constitutional rights by para-military police organizations
- More illegal immigrants than ever before
- And finally, more deafening silence over the more than 40 million unborn babies killed (over 1 million a year) in the abortion centers across the country.

A revival of the modern-day GOP would be a calamity we would probably not recover from. What is needed is a throwback to a Constitutional GOP which died a longtime ago.

Your current analysis is as lame as a three-legged dog. But your history is even worse. What "Constitutional" Republican Party are you talking about?

If it was the party of Lincoln, that party instituted an income tax, a tariff, gave RRs subsidies, and established public colleges. I love Lincoln, for a lot of reasons, but these ain't them. There is no such thing as the "Constitutional Republian" party you claim to remember.

The two most "constitutional" presidents of the last 100 years are Grover Cleveland and Calvin Coolidge.

Now, as to the main thread, I wish it were true, but I think it hopelessly optimistic to think that incumbents will lose more than 5% of the races---that is the historical trend.

Oh, yes, the Democrats are the ones keeping this country together! < /sarcasm>

And how much "better" would it be with a DemocRAT majority? Just look at what's going on with a DemocRAT plurality thanks to Judas Jeffords!

So, if "A "supermajority" of the GOP we've borne witness to in the past decade would spell the end of the Republic as we know it," then, what would a supermajority of RATS and a RAT presidency be?
