No, the GOP is not dying and either are the Rats.
As someone pointed out upthread, no third party yet has been willing to develop from the ground up. They just throw up a loon to run for president now and then, with the result that one of the two major party candidates can win with way less than 50% of the vote.
And let me rephrase my question. Is it morally right to facilitate a greater evil?
“Is it morally right to facilitate a greater evil?”
I’m glad you rephrased the question. You were bordering on insult in your previously posted question.
But to answer your rephrased question the answer is as follows:
Long-term? Yes, it is morally correct to facilitate evil, short term, if the long-term goal is to defeat the evil. The only way to start a movement in this day and age is to start it, period. It won’t ever get started as long as people do nothing to start the movement and continue to vote for people like McCain. Are there going to be hardships? Of course. The founding fathers knew that before they started, didn’t they? This time, McCain. Next time they’ll run someone even further to the left until they bury us. If they are going to bury us then I’ll go down fighting instead of caving in and voting for the likes of McCain. Who has the backbone? Those true conservatives who vote for McCain? I think not.
I disagree with you about the GOP not dying. It certainly is although I did say that it would be a slow, painful death. While it may not die completely, another stronger party will certainly emerge. At that point, both the dims and Repubs will team up, ( as if they haven’t done that already, ) to try to destroy the 3rd party.
