Recently I was talking to a retired physician at a dinner party when Carson came up and he started telling me how most neurosurgeons are insane.
Are we witnessing the death of the Republican Party?

- Start date
I have also been told this by someone who works with a whole lot of them in their line of work.
Ok that's it, I'm writing a letter to my local MP and the Minister of Immigration.
It will request that we immediately institute compulsory IQ AND common sense tests on all USA citizens wishing to enter New Zealand, plus a blanket ban on all permanent (non tourist) immigration from the USA.

Actually I'm pretty sure it would keep at least one of them out.
If you plot the intellectual path of the Republican party, by 2024 you could expect them to be extinct. They are likely to forget how to breath, or will build a vacuum chamber around themselves to keep out muslim/mexican/scientists breath.
really? 4x?
i have to say, i'm really looking forward to all of the poo slinging and shit hitting the fan over the coming weeks and months. chit's about to get real.
Republican debates might as well just take the format of "the dozens"

Had three rather revelatory conversations over my weekend with a couple of solid, regular republican voter types. Ranging from moderate to, "my most treasured piece of military memorabilia from my service career is a picture of myself with George W. Bush aboard ship" type of republican, and all to a person said something along the lines of "I'm done with the GOP". The one moderate guy doesn't surprise me all that much, but coming from the other two,

Xenophobic immigration policy for everyone!Ok that's it, I'm writing a letter to my local MP and the Minister of Immigration.

Well as Dumpf is considered Presidential material by a rather large percentage of your population, it's more Retardphobic than Xenophobic....... 
Dave, dont loose hope theres still half of us that arent total fucking morons.
Right. And 33% of the bernie supporters won't vote for Hillary. That means that only 17% of the whole aren't morons willing to vote for Hillary. Leaving a whopping 33% of the total population to vote against Trump...
The Bernie statistic amazes me. You would think the Nader fiasco would knock some sense into the Dems for at least a generation. We are still living with the direct consequences of that in terms of debt, the balance on the supreme court, and our obligations to veterans. This doesn't even factor in secondary consequences such as Citizens United. I can't decide if these folks are too young or just dumb. At any rate, it drives me crazy to no end every time I hear the argument that there is no difference between the two parties.
Well to be fair, living in a swing state or not changes things drastically. If I lived in a swing state I would 100% vote for Dem nominee. If I didnt (which I don't) I would vote as I wanted with little fear of harming the dem. nominee in anyway.
I will proudly be voting for drumpfy dick in the primary in my state.

If I may take a moment to address this. (I actually meant to do this the other day, but got sidetracked and forgot.) To be clear, I only speak for myself and would not pretend to speak for anyone else. In 2012 I forwent the vote I felt like I ought to have given to Jill Stein, a candidate that was much more aligned with my political leanings, ideals and beliefs, holding to the notion that I'd much rather see a second Obama term than any Rmoney term. What I traded my political ideology for looked very much like a third Reagan term, near as I can tell. Let's not forget, that in Obama's second term we learned all about gross violations of civil liberties, more middle east conflicts (that article doesn't even address Libya), continued killings of Americans without due process, continued deportations, and these are just the first couple things I can think of off the top of my head. The American Prospect did a pretty good job of summarizing my feelings in a some what dated, much longer piece here. Now, to be fair, these aren't necessarily just all "Obama issues". I recognize, that as adults, sometimes compromise is necessary, and that an incredibly obstructionist congress hasn't helped, but that's not the point. The point is, I don't even think that the democrats are trying, never mind Obama. I've posted in here before, and I can't find the video any more, but I still believe this to be true:
I guess that's a long way of saying why I won't vote for Hillary. Because she's Mitt Romney in a pant suit. She's never been afraid to support a political cause the second it's favorability rating hits 50%+1. Her Goldwater days show way too easily, if this was 1982 she'd be a vaguely left leaning Reagan Republican. I can no longer support the idea of "Party first", and when I was at county caucus the party people repeated it over and over, that one is somehow supposed to tow the party line no mater what, and it shouldn't even matter if the party doesn't actually represent you. Fuck that. I went Green in 2013 because I was disgusted by how the democrats keep chasing the

I do believe that somewhere in here I posted my regrets that Bernie had decided to run as a Dem.
Edit:
I think I would get this is the current Republican party wasn't a radicalized fringe party. Reagan is basically a liberal compared to the current crop. Let's just say I am going to say I told you so when we are both warboys for Immortan Donald.

I went Green in 2013 because I was disgusted by how the democrats keep chasing themouth breathersGOP to the right, and only switched back (D) to caucus for Bernie because CO is a closed caucus state. I'm adult enough to recognize the slim chances a third party candidate has, I recognize the "nader effect" as a genuine and real thing. I also recognize that I am a grown ass man, with principals and ideals, and that the Democratic party no longer represents them, I will not compromise them again. I will not again be badgered, bullied, or coerced into this false choice of less bad > more bad. It's not about making the perfect the enemy of the good, it's about both of them being shit. I am still a strong believer in the democratic process. There are still choices to be had, and people who believe in the form of government that I believe in, and I will vote for it. I will not sit idly by, but I will be damned if I vote for Hillary.
Well, I'm of the opinion that the Democrats only facilitated this my moving right, right along with them. As far as Immortan Donald goes, I will humbly beg your forgiveness should we ever come to that day, assuming I don't get droned by Vice President Bristol Palin first.
jfk could be his vp and the constitution would be changed so that they could rule forever...
i don't think that twat wasserman schultz understands that a good bit of democratic voters might sit this one out......or believe it or not....voting for trump.

edit: neither my brother or his wife will vote for hillary...

Yea, she's definitely not helping the cause.
i'm on the side of those who call bullshit on the supporters of either who wouldn't vote for the other if nominated. that's some pathetic, lazy, sullen loser-type shit. until there's a viable third party alternative (which this country is a long, long way from), why would you not support the one of the two nominees who most closely aligns with your ideals? is the possibilty of the other party winning truly a better alternative?
How does a viable third party happen? Will it one day magically receive the blessings of the FSM, or does it start when a third party receives a certain amount of votes, from disenfranchised voters who don't want to vote for either of the two nominees? What if that third party is what mostly aligns with your ideals?
