This Could be the End of the Corporate/Christian Right Coalition in the GOP. |
|
The gop could very well be blown to bits after this election. Obama and the Democrats are showing that Dems can win the religious vote. Anti-choicers are voting for Obama across the country.
The radical religious right will be the big losers this election. The corporate conservatives will drop them cold. They will no longer be useful for them. The RR will be marginalized and demoralized, likely to realize that the Repubbies had total power for 6 years and didn't ban gay marriage, or abortions, of flag burning or do much else for their causes.
New coalitions will be formed, just as the Democrats have built and strengthened theirs. But, the repuke party as we know will be gone next week.

1. And I could not be happier about it. |
|
The conservative philosophy over the last 28+ years has almost turned the USA into the Roman empire just before it fell.

6. The Christian Right coalition is too large to completely disintegrate. |
|
But here's hoping that this election is the end of the unified Christian Right, which was the key to their two election wins this decade.
Hopefully Obama puts a dagger in any chance of that happening.

Hayes, Dole and others have been decimated for trying the exact tactics that worked in 2000, 2002 and 2004

9. I won't be satisfied until the Necon faction is crushed. |
|
They have damaged this country with their hateful and destructive politics and they need to be crushed.

10. Works for me. The less any organized religious |
|
group is involved in politics, the better. It's time for the "reality based community" to start solving very real problems, rather than the canards that have been foisted upon us for the last 20+ years, starting with the so-called "Moral Majority." Rarely has there been a group that was less moral, and certainly not a real majority. They just got the vote-counters to make it look that way.

11. It took over 40 years to build the GOP coalition of anti-American bigotry, hatred and war mongering. |
|
It will take more than one or two election cycles to break it apart and longer than that to destroy its political power.
If Obama wins on Tuesday, many in the GOP coalition will blame Bush, McCain and Obama's charismatic fraud. They will not ask the question: was their defeat due to their four decades old embrace and encouragement of evil. It will take several more elections for them to realize that their current GOP coalition is doomed to ever dwindling minority status.
As the republican party evolves over the next eight to ten years, I am most curious about where the Tax Cut Monkeys will go.
