The Democrats are all far Leftist extremists like Barack Obama. If they were centrists, they would have opposed ObamaCare.

Ah. So you think moving the GOP further to the right is the solution to them losing elections?

The GOP is losing elections because they have shifted far to the right already. Moving even further means they will attract only the fringe.

"Ultra right wing?" No. But it is unquestionably the voice box of the Republican Party.

Obamacare was a GOP idea created by the Heritage Foundation, who thought up the individual mandate.

Richard Nixon was more liberal than Obama. So was Eisenhower. The problem is that you and your ilk are so far right that everyone looks leftist from your perspective.

McCain tried to warn the Tea Party children that they were on a fool's mission. The children thought they knew better. They would do well to go sit in the corner and shut up now. The country has had enough of their costly tantrums.

Oh, is that what you read in today's issue of the Daily Currant?

I see where they are reporting that Fox News is replacing "Obamacare" with the word 'slavery'. No doubt we will see a new thread about this.

I don't see the GOP losing elections. We have gained the majority in state legislatures in the majority of states, and we hold more governorships than do Democrats. All this has happened since Barack Obama became President.

The Tea Party is largely responsible for those gains, not the establishment Republicans, who despise them.

Then it looks like Ted Cruz is out. He is Ivy League to the core (Princeton and Harvard).
