does it appear to some as a party thats flat out going in the toilet?
I'm serious as a heart attack. They look finished to me.
America has had enough nonsense, lies and distortions and the twisting word spins from the non intellectuals.
Do you think they are finished for at least 10 years?
Many in the news say, "The Reagan Republican Party is dead"Do you see a pattern emerging in the Republican Party and its supporters?
To put it more rightly, Reaganism is dead. It used to be that the Republican party was intelligent, polite. Nixon not only gave us the EPA, but price controls and loose money (which he probably shouldn't have). But the point was that the Republican party used to be a respectable party that was not tied down to the dogma of free markets.
In terms of economic policy, Carter, by appointing Volcker and deregulating oil prices (toward the end of his term), was more conservative than Nixon, who gave us Arthur Burns and oil price regulation.
Eisenhower famously warned us of the industrial military complex, that would soon corrupt his own party.
But Reaganism was at heart a diabolical and dastardly set of beliefs and lies which nearly destroyed the country, certainly wrecked it to pieces. We know now, given welfare reform, that millions of mothers are forced into poverty, even though we no longer pay them more for more babies and have a time limit for their bennefits. We now know that free trade destroyed our manufacturing. We now know that ignoring the environment will not make the problem go away. We now know that regulation is required for a modern economy. We will know these things until we pass on, just as our grandfathers (and great grandfathers) new them from their experience in the Great Depression, but were not able to teach their children well.
"the reagan republican party is dead"
Good. Reagan was a fraud and a failure.Do you see a pattern emerging in the Republican Party and its supporters?
I get it now, you say from the non intellectuals, typical liberal, always an eletist, you know better than everyone else., love to look down your nose at people dont you.
the GOP is sick but it isn't dead. There are too many of us still out there. Liberal wack-jobs will actually help when voters see the destruction they are causing.
I honestly don't see Barry as a 2 term president. 2008 was an anti-GOP election. Wait until the mid-term election in 2010. The GOP WILL come back.Do you see a pattern emerging in the Republican Party and its supporters?
Thanks to the religious right they all have moved back in time to the 50s. Which means the moderates are leaving them in droves.
They need to change their direction, otherwise they won't be an option no matter what the Democrats do.
I think this is purely wishful thinking on your part. And the folks at Yahoo! Answers are not representative of the American public. If they were, Ron Paul would be president now, and thank the powers that didn't happen!
I don't know, is this a lie?:

Or is it just the truth you don't really want to know?
As a true, Regan Republican, conservative person, I fear that much of what you say is correct. I think the basis, however, is in the desire for more power from the GOP-NeoCon elite.
Don't confuse your hatred to conservatism for anything in reality. The people with wealth and power (liberals included) know that conservatism is the best for everybody, it's just hard to control the minds of the weak when you offer them something empowering like individuality, destiny, and other conservative view points. If you get them into collective liberalism, you can control the mind of the collective. Sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings
NO its sleeping.
Like you all tell the Truth not Republican but you ar stupid.
I think that would be wishful thinking on the part of the Democratic Party.
Time will tell. If conditions decline under full Democrat control of the Congress and White House, the Republican Party will reap great benefits. Lies, ambiguity, distortions are common to politicians of both parties.
They are done. I believe in fair criticism on both sides of the party but they refuse to admit their faults and blame it all on everybody else. You can't make yourself better if you deny your mistakes. I'm sick of them.
Lets see what party is under investigation RIGHT at this time for corruption including a cloud hanging over the president-elec. At the rate your party is progressing prior to Obama taking office he will make Clinton look like a boy scout. Chicago political machine politics at its best.
yes
after this whole election season and Bush
the republican party really needs to be reformed
and repub. can not deny that fact
if they are happy with the direction that their party is going, then i pity them, and all I ask them is to not have Plain as their future
because all my god, will their party be in trouble.
The Republican's will be better as the southern states have proved this. What is going on now is the Democrats going down hill with their actions.
Both parties suck...
There will ALWAYS be a constant sway back and forth.
One party takes control, pisses people off, then everyone loves the other party all of a sudden. It's a never ending cycle.
As a sidenote, if the democrats had their way we'd all be getting government paychecks. We all know that's not possible. Keep pissing on the rich, see what happens...Oh and by "rich" i mean anyone making over 42,000 a year....
haha...Obama would tax that last statement cuz of how rich it was...
Apparently you take your cues from "many in the news"...huge mistake.
With the attitude expressed by many in the Democratic party the Dem rise to power will be very short lived. You cannot continue to antagonize your opponents and hope to work together. The Republicans tried this and ran into a ditch.
Obama may be one of the few intelligent Democrats. He chose to make amends with Lieberman rather than punish him. Trying to make friends rather than name calling in what real intellectuals do.
the repubs are in decline and if they refuse to help obama and act as a roadblock to progress then they will see their numbers decline more nxt election
You have got to be joking. Do you see any Republican appointed to Obamas cabinet, being investigated by the FBI. I don't recall a Republican Governor being impeached, for anything. Every day a new Democratic scandal emerges. We have managed to survive every other election, and we will survive this one too. In four years, if Obama lasts that long, the Democrats will be glad to get rid of him.
I don't think that getting 46% of the vote is considered dead. However, I do see a definite divide in my party. It is splitting down the middle with moderates (who are considered as liberals by some) on one side and conservatives on the other. Some people in my party are leaving for the Libertarian party which holds many of the same views.
I don't see this split as a bad thing. It is simply the party re-identifying themselves. Republicans like Bush have strayed from our fiscally conservative principles. As a group, we need to decide if that's the direction that we want to take or do we want to return to our conservative ideals.
Personally, I would like the party to return to our ideals. If it doesn't, I will go to the Libertarian party. If my views were liberal, I'd join a liberal party instead of trying to change the Republican party into something that it isn't meant to be.
A lost election doesn't make a party dead. The Democratic party wasn't dead when Bush Jr, Bush Sr, or Reagan were elected and the Republican party wasn't dead when Clinton or Carter were elected. In 1980, Reagan won 489 electoral votes to Carter's 49. Reagan won all but 5 states. It didn't mean that the Democratic party was dead. Only that the people had voted Republican in that election.
Yes. They are clearly suffering from a collective nervous breakdown.
The republicans are done for years to come.
The ancient Persians were quite aware of the necessity of separating religion from politics, unfortunately the Republican party has been a poor student of history for many years now.
Republicans definitely need to reshape their message - I'd put money on at least 12 years of Democratic presidency before a Republican gets back in.
