It seems we're at a very interesting time for the Republican party, yesterday turned out to be a very telling day.
The Republican party seems to be slowly fracturing...
We have those that are supporting Ron Paul, and to be honest if it was someone else, someone who wasn't such a quack but running on a similar platform I dare say this portion of the party would be much bigger. For there are many who do not support this war, and do not like the big spending mentality that this party has taken on.
We have the evangelicals, a portion of the party that even those within the Republican party can't stand but feel they will lose without their vote. This is a portion that doesn't like to be ignored, if they don't get pandered to they will whine, maybe even stay home.
The party is very much divided on spending and size. You have one group calling themselves conservatives keep using catch phrases of the past like small government and fiscal conservative, but are defecit spending like it's going out of style and embracing big brother faster than any liberal.
Immigration also a big dividing point amongst the party right now, you have those that want to build the great wall of America equipped with lazers and heat seaking missles, and you also have those true economic conservatives that are scared of losing labor.
And one of the biggest signs of this party's downfall is the talking heads are actually bashing the frontrunner and say they will vote democrat if McCain is the nominee.
This morning I was listening to a very conservative talk radio show on the Texas Public Radio and the host was talking about this very thing, which got me thinking about starting a thread.
His theory was that if enough conservatives are divided they'll stay home and the Republicans will lose this election. If the Republicans lose this election and the Democrats take over the White House and especially if they take it over for 8 years, then we can definately see the Republican party split into at least two parties.
So what do you think?
