The impending death of the GOP has been getting a lot of press lately. It may surprise readers of this blog, which there aren’t many, that I’ve never been a registered Republican. I’ve primarily been non-affiliated, but I do register as a Democrat at the polling location to vote for the least of all evils in the local primaries. Then I quickly change back to non-affiliated.
Oh well, getting back to the point. The Democrats have lots larger problems then whatever the GOP is up to. Powerline sums it up in their recent GOP, RIP post…
It’s worth noting that little or none of this shift is due to anything Republicans have done; rather, it is a function of voters’ observations of the Democrats in power. When the Republicans were in power, the Democrats were “the other guys.” Now that the Democrats are in power, they are being transformed, in the public’s view, into “the power-crazed guys who are amazingly liberal, spend money like water, don’t care about national security and are laying the foundation for massive tax increases and destruction of the free enterprise system.” Small wonder that their appeal is rapidly diminishing.
Hey hey hey, keep up the good work. You can’t keep blaming it on Bush forever.
