I hope party leaders have the foresight to realize that opposing modernity is a losing strategy.

You mean like the strategy we used in the last election? You are the problem not the solution.

You mean like the strategy we used in the last election?

In the last election, the GOP assumed that its voters were uneducated and stupid. It thought GOP voters were too stupid to care about things like billion dollar bridges to nowhere in Alaska, or about the largest increase in entitlement programs in history; GOP leaders thought that they could still count on GOP voters to vote for them if they mouthed the same empty platitudes about small government, traditional values and strong defense.

They appealed only to uneducated voters, assumed they were stupid and they lost. The GOP isn't the stupid party and we lose elections when elected leaders fool ourselves into thinking we are.
