I don't usually buy into doom and gloom from a "big picture" perspective. But I've warned about this for years. The GOP lost the ability to confront the dems about their leftward lurch. The dems became more and more leftist. The American people were not properly warned.

Now the dems are revealing their extremism, and Bush is doing nothing to alert the American people. He is not fighting.

I think there is a 50-50 chance that the republican party will implode and have to be replaced. And those are very high odds for such an extreme event. The US risks an enormous move to the left until a new conservative party can become a viable force.

Keep in mind that if the GOP crumbles, there are a lot of liberal republicans in Congress who will in effect turn a large chunk of the country over to the democrats.

That's because the GOP matched their lurch to the left, step by step.
