Stepped up their attacks in the media...

Formed the Tea Party...

Doubled down on every kind of crazy there is...

Swayed the public enough that we actually have to worry about a Romney win...

I expect they'll do more of the same. And they'll have lots of Koch money to do it with.

They're maniacal in their hatred of minorities, anything that involves giving people a hand up, having intellectual discussions, etc. etc. ad infinitum.

Expect even more over the top mania should Obama win. Question is, when will the MSM call these morans out and turn public opinion completely against their Un-American ways.

that the USA will finally become a truly multi-part country.

unless he gets a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate.
Then some of them may realize they are driving themselves off a cliff.

Then they'd better move on issues and programs! No more "off the table;" No more "compromise." JUST DO IT!!!

Strengthen Social Security and Medicare;
Strengthen jobs program;
Build the Middle Class;
Build the unions;
Protect public education;
Protect the environment'
Let the Bush tax cuts expire...this time!!!

Do what you were elected/reelected to do!

KICK BUTT AND TAKE NAMES!!!

grant applications. Red states will get redder and some of the more remote, less densely populated, ones might even become kind of uncomfortable for others to even enter.

Who cares?

If so, don't worry about them. They'll skitter back under their fridges and hide for another 4 years. Then whichever Democrat runs to replace Obama will become the new anti-Christ, most liberal, socialist, marxist, anti-American traitor in history who will surely spell Americas doom grabbing their guns and turning America from a libertarian paradise to a totalitarian communist hellhole.

so dig in, volunteer, and give what you can financially, if that's an option.

There's an opportunity to push the opponent off the cliff.

Which is how I compete.

Which is why, you know, I was pissed that... Obama didn't push his opponent off the cliff.

the party will continue to squeeze out anyone who isn't an unhinged religious fanatic or greedy capitalist archetype (or both).

Let them become a permanent minority party with 120 seats in the House and 36 seats in the Senate. They can stamp their feet all they want and it won't do a damn bit of good.

You're talking about what a sane country would do with them.

Romney was the fiscal conservative "safe" Republicans last bet to win. If he loses again they will go further full grifter like 2010. Regionally the Republican party is very strong in many places. Nationally they are party where the house can't come together to do anything for the last two years. My guess is the Cantor side will win out with a Romney loss. Then people like Santorum become much more likely to run in four years.

If they lose the White House but win the Senate and hold the Congress we're in for 2 years of deadlock and vetoes. If they lose the White House and fail to take the Senate but hold the House it'll be pretty much what we have now...gridlock with an occasional "compromise" to keep the lights on but no big ticket items going anywhere.

If the rushpublicans lose the House, then we'll see lots of knives. Boner surely will be sent back to play golf and the battle for the "soul" of the party will be on. While they may expect to lose the White House, they're not prepared to lose the House. So if you wanna piss in their cornflakes, that's the place to do it...

and become a sort of moderate/center right party that strongly supports a social safety net that is so efficient it saves mony AND lifts all Americans out of poverty.

no, that's not it.

The party will lose decent republicans that are hanging on the party by the fingernails. I bumped into a certified antiabortion woman today that said she was undecided on who to vote for. I am 100% sure she voted for republican Presidential candidates during the past.

Oh wait, were you waiting for an answer like "Holy shit they're going to storm the gates at every nuclear weapons facility and try to get hold of the nukes so they can hold the country hostage!" or something like that?

Who's going into the wilderness?

I guess you weren't here in '08 when every third post on the day after the election was "OMG the 'puglican party is going to wither away and die!" or "That's IT! They're DONE FOR!!!" or "We just witnessed the END of the 'puglican party!!!".

They lost, bigtime. Inauguration day saw a Democratic President, a Democratic House, and a Democratic Senate. The world didn't end, and the puglicans didn't riot.

I suspect that the day after Election Day this year will be pretty much the same.

SHITE - NOT

Of course it's baseless but they don't care about the law or reality. They're sore-losing wusses.

with Newt as their leader.

that frequent my local daily rag's on-line comment section ... there will be a run on moving trucks and 10 mile long lines at the Canadian border ... just like when President Obama won the first time ... Oh wait ...
