The GOP will go the way of the Whig Party.
This vote is totally unacceptable to American Patriots.
The replacement will be the Tea Party.
Mark my words...By 2012, the GOP will be ancient history.
I hope not, the Tea Party better serves our interests when it remains ours. Once it gets to Washington the amount of money and booze sloshing around that city is bound to drown the real patriotism and common sense that infuse the Tea Party.
Breaking up the GOP isn’t a bad idea - but it would need to be done hand-in-hand with a break-up of the Democrats as well, lest we hand over a decade or two.
For a comparison, look at what happened in Canada when the Conservative vote was split between the PC party and the Reform party - 11 years of uninterrupted Liberal rule.
Since many of the RINOs aren't even up for reelection in 2012, the threat of the Tea Party becoming an alternative party is the only thing that is going to get the message through to the Republican party.
We'd better see Obamacare repealed (through denial of funding), DADT reinstated (through denial of funding for implementation of allowing open homosexuals in the military) and significant cuts in spending over the next two years or the Republican party needs to end as we know it.
