GOP Trouble Continued

Just to continue my thread about why the GOP shuould be concerned about holding onto power. The overtly liberal Foxnews.com ran this article about how the GOP has changed. The article does a very good job of illustrating the points I've fumbled to make. Granted, for Republican voters, where can they go? But they can allways stay home and, in the face of a motivated Dem base, that alone can spell disaster for the GOP. At some point voters will realize that the party that they sent to power is not at all like the party in power. While not a historical first, it is, none-the-less, reality.

The argument that the party has moved away from the middle of its base applies no more to the Repubs than to the Dems. The current Democratic leadership is so out of touch with Americans that any Rebuplican stumbles (and there have been many) could only serve to bring the two parties closer together. Two weak parties is not a recipe for the demise of either one. The best conclusion one could draw from the evidence is that the Republicans may not walk away with the next elections. And that argument I would agree with.
