Reply #29: The republican party is just about down to its base [View All]

The GOP is shrinking to its core. The extremists have won the day, and lost votes in the process. There was a time when you could have a reasonable argument with them. They knew there had to be some taxes and regulation, it was just a matter of how much. They wanted less. Same with helping the poor. They knew there had to be some, they just tried to lessen it.

Somewhere along the way, they pushed all the chips into the pot. NO taxes, NO government spending, NO compromise.

What's worse for them, they're not actually right (correct) about anything. At least if they had the truth on their side, others would come around to their point of view. As it stands now, the reasonable have gone the other way.
