The Republican Party has depressed me in recent months. I left the party back in mid-November for the Constitution Party, but now I'm somewhere in between. I'm stuck in limbo.

Our Party has become such a joke, that I just can't fathom it.

I love hearing posts like this, sounds like the Republican party is weakening, hopefully we will see this effect in 2014.

I don't think you'll see this effect in 2014, but I think you'll like the 2016 elections. The GOP can still do well in midterms like 2010 proved, but I think Republicans have no creditably on the presidential level anymore.

And when you have 1 party rule under the DemocRATS, what do you think you'll have then?

I dont think there will ever be a one party rule under either party, I see the Republicans getting stronger once they kick the far right to the curb and except a more moderate approach.

WTF are you talking about. They are moderate already Toooo moderate.

So you want a moderate party and an ultra-left-wing party?

Only someone who is really far right wing would think today's Republicans are moderate. People like you need to form your own little party and let the moderates get back to work.

Only someone who is ultra-left wing would think today's Republican party is Conservative.

It depends on how you define moderate. Subtract social issues and today's Republican party is moderate to even liberal in some cases. Many Republicans are far right on social issues i.e. marriage is between a man and a woman.

HAHA, that is what I expected you to say because that is what all far right people say. Everything to the left of you is liberal because you are so far to the right.
