Posted By: drummerboythe right wing loony-train isn't going off the rails because it's never been on the rails, and what's happening now is not markedly different than anything we've seen since 1994
Posted By: drummerboyWhat is happening now that is crazier than Terri Schiavo? Or endlessly investigating Clinton for Whitewater? Or impeaching him for chrissakes? If a party can withstand impeaching a President for the reasons they did, they can withstand pretty much anything.
Posted By: ktc... And, frankly, the mobs seem to have gotten dumber....
Posted By: TaureanBut the Republicans have really mastered the art of appealing to those who are most harmed by their policies.
Those 'mobs' you see on TV, screaming about socialism this and Obama that, are, by and large, lower income, working poor people. They might actually be helped by some Democratic policies, and harmed by Republican tax cuts targeted at the rich.
Yet they vote Republican.

Posted By: tomSo is the GOP headed for being the party of the social conservatives and only the social conservatives? Where will the elite, non-hicks -- fiscal conservatives who want to stay out of your bedroom -- end up?
There seems to be a big opening here for centrist or fiscal Republicans to team up with the Blue Dogs to make a third party. And it would probably look a lot like the Republican party of the 50s - 70s.
Posted By: GL2Agree with most except for "Rockefeller wing." I think these puppeteers are way right of Rockefeller wing and actually out to purge party of NE moderate Repubs.

"Why I Parted Ways With The Right
Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 6:49:45 pm PST
1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)
2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)
3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)
4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)
5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)
6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)
7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)
8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)
9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)
10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source)
And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.
I wont be going over the cliff with them."
