The Republicans are self-destructing. Only one thing can save them.
They courted anyone who hated gays. They lost everyone who doesn't.
They courted anyone who hated minorities. They lost everyone who doesn't.
They courted anyone who hated abortion rights. They lost everyone who doesn't.
They courted anyone who hated foreigners. They lost everyone who doesn't.

They created a fake grass-roots movement (Teabaggers) to spew invectives against the President and other "libruls" which turned around and embarrassed them with their racism, stupidity and call for term limits (I especially love that one).

Only one thing can save the Republican Party - the Democratic Party

4. "Only one thing can save the Republican Party - the Democratic Party"
Then, they're actually on pretty solid ground.

The Dems seem willing to make any and all concessions to the pukes.

5. Yes, Dems are saving Reps with "Bipartisanship" BS
You'd think that the GOP is the majority the way the Dems act. Maybe they just have the majority of the money, and many Dems serve the same corporate masters...

7. Nailed it...
...the reason for the Democratic Party is so that there's no alternative to the Republicans.

8. Big Media
step one to figuring out where to go - figure out where the fuck you are. And where we are is a fascist state run by Big Media. Once you wake up to that fact, you can begin to make a plan for what to do about it.

And BTW, the Repukes don't need "saving" - they will pick up dozens of seats in the next Congress, due much more to their media monopoly than anything else.

9. Actually
The one reason there are so many BPublicans in there now is that the voting machines sprung a leak, dumping the BPublicans into the winner pits.
