In Unusual Move, Mitt Snubs Inaugural Day Festivities

So now we have a Republican party left without any leadership. Had Romney shown up, it would have been a sign that he could remain a leader in the party. Instead, his absence leaves the party adrift, teetering on collapse. The party’s open embrace of unpopular positions leaves them with little option but to rig elections, something they no longer even try to hide in their attempt to manipulate the process of putting someone in the White House.

The Republican Party is in decline; it could be said they were in the “sunset period.” The party refuses to adapt, to evolve, to the changing demographics of the United States. As a result, they are falling apart, as millions flee the party. If they do not resolve their issues soon, they will become the new Whig party, or the Know Nothings. Their strategy to create a permanent majority in the 1990s has, instead of ensuring the GOP sole rule of the United States, created the conditions which will lead the party to its destruction.

So the question now becomes, who will replace them?

1. Why should he attend?

He has no position in government. Al Gore was an outgoing VP, John McCain and John Kerry were senators, so they obviously did attend.

2. With a vast flood of Republicans joining the Democratic party

I see the Democrats becoming 1980's Republicans, they're already more than halfway there anyway if you listen to President Obama.

Eighty percent or better of the politicking that should be done between parties in a normal political situation is happening within the Democratic party already, the Republicans just say nope.
