I am going to focus on the topic title. The Republican Party is quickly eroding away. What was a traditional conservative party continues its transition into a liberal and moderate dominated party. Many liberal Democrats have switched to the Republican Party label in order to stay in office. Their liberal, progressive and socialist views have not changed. It is becoming very hard to find true conservative Republicans to run for office.

Where are the true conservative Republicans going? Either they are not voting or they are joining conservative and libertarian political parties.

It is a grassroots movement, but a major conservative party will be rising to compete against both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Progressives - liberal democrats - are against people working, getting ahead and being self sufficient. they are against anything that lets the free market work unfettered. they want to take away of the people which renders us as slaves to the state. We are heading down that path AS government controls out money, health, education, food supply, the cars we drive, the energy we use and are even listening in on everything we do. How many cameras are in public places so they can watch everything we do? Every traffic light has cameras, lots of downtown areas are covered by cameras and they are in places you would least expect.
Progressives want to disarm the American people so badly they foam at the mouth when talking about it.

Black Americans should be the first to vote for conservatives as they want citizens to realize the American dream. Do blacks want to be slaves to the state? I should hope not. Why are millions of people leaving their homelands to come to the USA? Do they want to come to a country moving toward the direction their own country is? Conservatives are not the demon here and they don't scream racism every day as do progressives.

Gun control is the demise of the American dream as an armed man is a free man.
Conservatives do not want to disarm citizens as progressives do. Progressives want citizens to rely on the state for a false sense of security while surrendering yet another freedom. They have shown they can already kick down your door and search it without a warrant. Watch some video of the Boston marathon police actions.

The GOP does not try to put everyone into a classes such as race, socio-economic or whatever progressives want to do.

Progressives are committing suicide though their narrative has fooled many into thinking otherwise.

Stop thinking anyone non white is an illegal.
Didn't illegal immigrants receive amnesty back in the 1980s, though?

What planet are you living on? If you are going to make unsubstantiated allegations like liberals are "against people working", "getting ahead and being self sufficient", " against anything that lets the free market work unfettered" and "want to take away of the people which renders us as slaves to the state" give us some specifics. Tell me which policies of the liberals make as slaves to the state?

As far as cameras everywhere go, that is what you conservatives want. It is you conservatives that traded freedom for security when your Republican representatives voted and pushed for the patriot act and expanded NSA spying. That is all Bush and that is your party.

Before you start calling liberals names and accusing them of taking your privacy, look at who you vote for and look in the mirror.

Shortening the process and the wait time will cost money, but there are millions of legal Hispanics all over the country who still have family ties to Mexico and Central America, and making it possible for Grandma to come up legally to visit the grandkids for her first time is bound to change a lot of minds about the GOP, and may make some of their resentments over the past GOP obstruction against them be forgiven. Grannies have that effect on their kids, after all.

Sooner or later, the State Dept. is going to get a computer upgrade, new software to help speed the visa apps up, and probably additional staff to further expedite visas. It's bound to happen, and happen soon. There are now sizable Hispanic minorities in 40 of the lower 48 states.
"Immigration reform" Why do so many believe ANOTHER bill or law will solve anything?

We only have to enforce the existing laws. We have a border, defend it. Prosecute those that hire illegals.

Another 2,500 word bill is NOT necessary.

So, as usual, you're making stuff up about Democrats. You do realize you just look silly every time you do that, right?
