I seem to remember the "permanent majority" the republicans had in the 90s. How's that working out? Don't act like this is some huge momentum shift. Obama swept a geriatric flip flopping vet eight years ago, his party got whipped in the midterms, then he won the important states by ~1% against a poofy haired moderate history but now hard talking New England governor and buoyed his party. They gained nothing in the house or senate. Lets keep it in perspective boys and girls.

After all you Republicans get all that venting out of your collective spleens, I do hope y'all take a deep breath and then listen to some of the cooler heads in your party. It's not in the interests of the country if Republicans relegate themselves to an ever more balkanized role. There is a need for an authentic party of small government, to provide at least a counterpoint to "big government" thinking, but without the 1950's social engineering. Of course, then they would be Libertarians.
I'm heading off to work shortly. I went in to work yesterday as well, on top of putting in at least 10 hrs in the lab/office and another couple of hours working at home every day Monday to Friday. I generally end up supporting Democratic candidates, but I voted Republican and Libertarian where those people offered platforms I supported. When you (I mean you Gravitymaster, as well as CanuckInUsa, airdvr, and numerous others) say I vote Democrat because I am lazy and just want to sit on my couch and drink beer at your expense, IT IS PERSONALLY FUCKING INSULTING. You don't know me, you know nothing about what motivates me or how hard I work, but you take it upon yourselves to make self-righteous assumptions that only serve to make you feel somehow "superior" to everyone else. Then you can add in the anti-science and anti-education platform planks and undercurrent of the "modern" Republican party, and consider that I am a scientist and educator. My local Republican Congressman (Paul Broun) recently accused me of doing Satan's work.
Ask yourself this: if the approach of the Republican party is to insult me, at every turn, why should I consider them seriously to lead the government. If the position of the party is to insult or condemn everyone who isn't a white evangelical Christian, how can you hope to ever again obtain a plurality of the vote?

Apparently white guys are not having their share of extra-marital affairs to learn from their girl friends they don't like white old men telling them what to do with their bodies. That women are tired of that, hence Obama got the woman vote. GOP needs to forget about Row v. Wade and move on. Bush allowed the latino to come in, so now they need deal with it by including them, not excluding them.
Personally both REPs and DEms are the same. Both only concentrate on filling their own personal coffers via insider trading and off line deal making. We need a new party (middle class party) that only concentrates on the money. No social issues. Middle class is played as suckers by both these political parties, that we need our own party to put money in our pockets not pay for rich or poor welfare. Not excluding corp welfare. Middle class has more money and wealth than any group on earth yet have no representation. Suckers kept in an unwinnable argument dems vs rep, right where they want to keep us.

It was God's will. We are being punished as a nation for our decadence and entitlement mentality.
