I think I covered that a few posts up.
Once the GOP got molested by big business interests and hid it behind a shroud of evangelism it was all over. People are seeing it for what it is. And it's sad. In a perfect world, I'd be a Republican. But guess what? It ain't a perfect world! |

So we are going to mimic liberals for the past 8 years? Liberals are the only ones who cry about social issues just so you know. |

Stay and fight. The Republicans will get Congress back after the first two disasterous Obama years of social engineering and ultra high taxes.

No. People in the US are not by and large right-leaning.
Most people in the US are pretty moderate - a.k.a middle of the road. That's why the split between Dems and Repubs for the past 12 years (including right now) has been so close...
its not like its been a republican win (the last two elections) of 80% to 20%. Its been 51:49.
This country is a moderate country, but the people making the noise (as always) are on the fringe - both the left and right.

Except what passes for middle of the road here is right leaning to most people overseas. |

What passes for "liberal" here is right-leaning to most people overseas. Then again, in the minds of the right wingnuts, anyone who is not a right wingnut is a liberal.
This is the only country where people will routinely try to win elections by pointing fingers at their opponents and calling them liberals. Just look at the GOP primaries. |

It'll be eight if the Republicans can't do any better than Palin for 2012. |

The middle of the road isn't static. It keeps moving. What was middle-of-the-road, say... in the 60's... looks conservative now. |
