Soon, the GOP's choices will be moderate or lose elections. Either way the Overton window is about to start creeping left for the next few decades.lockewasrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-45023954717335606792012-07-22T12:16:00.852-05:002012-07-22T12:16:00.852-05:00The bulk of the R's lunacy is coming from &quo...The bulk of the R's lunacy is coming from "the base". Unfortunately, "the base" is about all that's left of the Republicans. Look at the red states. These are states that proudly want to live in the 20th century ... 1955 to be exact. The bluing (purpling) of some of them is indicative that the base is dying off.<br /><br />I do not believe you will see another "sane" Republican until the party splits. I do not see that happening until 2017 after the Base gets its ass kicked again and non-religious Republicans either take back the party or leave and found a new one.lDerFarmhttp://yellowdogpolitics.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-32308501097733217462012-07-22T11:39:12.070-05:002012-07-22T11:39:12.070-05:00It is very important to keep the White House and S...It is very important to keep the White House and Senate this fall, and if at all possible regain the House. That is a tall order and I am not optimistic about the House, because of gerrymandering, etc.<br /><br />It is not a bad thing to have a loyal opposition, though I would like a real left alternative in our system. But here we are.<br /><br />At some level the issues are social and economic, though. 1% elites using social divisions to form an electoral coalition. I don't see how that can change for that 1% without them giving up a few tax breaks.<br /><br />Listen to me. I'm not even asking for much from the 1%.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.com
