Do you want to address my assertions or continue with your ad hominem attacks and poison the well with "Mein Kamph" remarks.

This seems to be an ongoing issue with you, so I'm beginning to assume that you just aren't a member of the "talented tenth".

Probably trying to control federal spending, reduce the debt and deficit, and trying to pass a permanent tax policy and try to get Harry Reid to actually agree to passing a federal budget. Oh, the horror.... the horror!!!

If they follow the pattern of other political parties in other countries then they will have about a decade in the wilderness before the current leadership and ideologies get so discredited and voters get so discouraged over constant election loses that finally new leadership is allowed to come forward with new ideas which would never have been accepted before. They need such a time out too because the boozos in charge are such massive screw ups while the rank and file back benchers are just completely insane.

As a side note this is entirely due to Republican gerrymandering as in competitive districts the crazies would never be able to dictate policy so ending Republican gerrymandering will due a huge amount to improve the country and the Republican Party itself.

Addressing your "assertions" would require me to jump into an unflushed toilet. Really, it isn't worth my time.

And i'm a member of the "talented me" club.

Talented tenth. LMAO...dude reads "The Negro Problem," and now he wants to fancy himself an expert on black history. Hilarious.

Speaking g of gerrymandering. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to "reform" the electoral college in a way that would reward gerrymandering. They'd be against the popular vote and would want to do it by congressional districts.

Look at Florida. 50/50 state but Democrats only have:

24% of US congressional districts
37% of state representatives
35% of state senators.

The electoral college is statewide so there is no gerrymandering.

This is the problem. It completely disenfranchises liberals, while giving RWNJ power.

Democrats will continue to rule this country from a right wing perspective and we will be worse off for it.
