It is kinda fun to watch the dying GOP turn on each other, before they go their separate ways



This party will splinter into two or three new parties over the next decade

1) The Neo-Cons
2) The Libertarians
3) The Ultra-Religious Nut-Cases + The Racist South

Get some popcorn, and enjoy the GOP blowing up.

Matthew Dowd, a prominent political consultant and chief strategist for George W. Bush's reelection campaign eviscerated John McCain on Tuesday for his choice of Sarah Palin as vice president.

Dowd proclaimed that, in his heart of hearts, McCain knew he put the country at risk with his VP choice and that he would "have to live" with that fact for the rest of his career.

"They didn't let John McCain pick the person he wanted to pick as VP," Dowd declared during the Time Warner Summit panel. "When Sarah Palin got picked instead of Joe Lieberman, which I fundamentally believed would have given John McCain the best opportunity in this race... as soon as he picked Palin, that whole ready versus not ready argument was not credible."

Saying that Palin was a "net negative" on the ticket, he went on: "[McCain] knows, in his gut, that he put somebody unqualified on the ballot. He knows that in his gut, and when this race is over that is something he will have to live with... He put somebody unqualified on that ballot and he put the country at risk, he knows that."

Assuming Obama does not fall flat on his face, then it's time for the old switcheroo.

For this scenario, the Democrats need to be firmly in the driver's seat.

If things go to hell, GOP will become openly fascistic.

If the Republicans really split into several factions, maybe something good came out of all this mess after all. If you got rid of all the racists, neo-cons, religious fruit cakes and senile idiots trying to run for president the Republican party certainly would have some appeal. They do have some highly competent people in that party, no doubt.

Conservatives are like cockroaches. Unpleasant, vile creatures that always seem to coexist with normal humans.

They're not going anywhere. If anything, Obama's election will make them even more virulent and ugly.

Bill Krystal is delusional. His candidates, his party The GOP: The Party that Wrecked America and his personal reputation as a winner and a main player are blowing up like the Hindenburg and Challenger and by Nov 4th there will be No Survivors. Kristol will wish he was run over and killed by an Oldsmobile when he was six years old... On Nov. 5th Kristols' credibility will be 0% and he will have to look for honest work again.

Sarah "George Wallace" Palin goes back to Wasilla, John Herbert Hoover McCain goes back to a new job selling Buicks in Phoenix and Bushco, Cheneyburton and Rove go straight to Hell to take their places besides Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Charles Manson and Saddam.

Kristol said "Bush won the War".
I guess he means the War on the American people he swore to defend OR maybe the New War he plans to have with his new personal army stationed in Colorado and tuning up for God Knows What Next...

There have been No Winners under Bush-Cheney. Just 8 long, miserable unbroken years of doom, failure and now heartache, despair and financial calamity.

Bush should issue every American 8 live leeches to suck the blood out of our collective souls...

Keith, you're partially correct. The libertarians will recede in disgust. Maybe they will migrate to the Libertarian Party, and become a moderating influence there.

The southern racists are practically extinct. They will disappear as a political force.

The neocons and the religious hardliners will continue to exploit each other McCain-Palin style for a while. The discredited country club set will stay with them, for lack of anywhere else to go.

Sincere Christian conservatives like Mike Huckabee may stay with them also, for the same reason.

Keith????

3) The Ultra-Religious Nut-Cases
4) The Racist South

Seriously, you know those two groups are one and the same.

I don't understand why all the religious nuts aren't already all over the "Constitution" Party.

======================================
As you are talking about what is perceived as the "modern Republican conservative," I couldn't agree more. As a "true conservative Republican," I can't wait for the downfall of the current status quo. As I mentioned in a previous post, I would love to see the new (old) Republican party rise from the ashes.

And you are more correct than you can imagine bitterrenter.

Back the current average, ignorant, bible-banging, hypocrite, "Republican" into a corner, and there WILL be hell to pay! A mindless animal with no way out (just like the non-human life forms we share the planet with) will scratch and claw you to God Damned Death to preserve its existence and way of life.

Damn, it's going to get ugly! Republican Party? Hell! I wonder if we can survive this as a whole country, the ignorance is so entrenched!

If the GOP falls apart, the religious nuts in the racist old south will most likely be the "new GOP" afterward. This could cause Civil War 2.0. If so, it would behoove us to let the south secede and let them have the Mexican border mess and devolve into a Christian Iran while we join the developed world up north.

We won't lose out in terms of Texas oil as that oil province (TX and OK) is a net importer of petroleum product. Just beware as we'll have to fortify the Mason Dixon Line to keep the new illegal aliens from the Confederate States out!

This video is actually the best evidence yet that the GOP is going to come to terms with their problems after this election. It was astounding to me how they reacted to their losses in 2006. They didn't change a thing, they didn't even think about what went wrong.

Now they're starting to think clearly. Now they'll rebuild
