Are we witnessing the death of the Republican Party?

In the cleavage of the Tetons
I think we should give the Tea Party Cuba.
Offer no resources, programs, nothing.
See what happens.
Or maybe North Korea.
Could be a noble experiment, like in Trading Places.

of course, there's the fabled courtney love incident, which would run afoul of a few laws of nature

a lot of them still haven't gotten over losing the civil war... and that was a century before most of them were even born
I saw a hick Rep on TV talking about the Republicans as "the party of Lincoln" and people not relating to that piece of information currently. He forgot to mention that the parties reversed roles in the 1960's ...

Bleedmore, Murderland
They are also the states that receive the most federal aid, all while bitching about big government. I saw an interview at a Tea Party rally in the south where an obese lady on a hoveround was holding a sign that said "Obamacare = socialism." The reporter asked her where she got her scooter, to which she replied "Medicare."

Nothing will get a factual discussion with said white southern Republican to come to name calling faster than pointing that out...........

Clearly you simpletons are missing the message.
saddest quote, b/c the article has the unnecessary distinction of being 'republican', which it doesn't need to be
"You should not expect a handout," he tells me. "You should not even expect a safety net. When my house burns down, I should not go to the government to rebuild it. I should have the savings, and if I don't, my neighbors should pitch in for me, because I would do that for them." The entitlement he now hears from the focus groups he convenes amounts, in his view, to a permanent poisoning of the electorate—one that cannot be undone. "We have now created a sense of dependency and a sense of entitlement that is so great that you had, on the day that he was elected, women thinking that Obama was going to pay their mortgage payment, and that's why they voted for him," he says. "And that, to me, is the end of what made this country so great."

Front Range, dude...
he works for a law-maker, so he was insuring these laws were enforced, as to not add unnecessary legislation to the existing legal bloat like a lazy, minority democrat would do.
Yeah...I am sure that is exactly what he was doing. OPS checking the system and all...
