5. Republicans are going nowhere

Edited on Wed Nov-05-03 08:24 PM by HFishbine

Their party is in power. Imagine if the dems controlled congress and the presidency and started instituting such left-wing policies as civil unions for gays, universal health care, a department of peace, worker-friendly trade agreements and legalization of marijuana. Would you say, "Man, the dems are just too darn liberal for me anymore. I'm switching to the republican party." I doubt it.

The repukes are thrilled and looking for an every greater swing to the right. Rather than try to convince them to modulate, we need all of the left and a majority of the independent muddle.
