In the end, I see the tea party splitting the GOP. Money on one side, people on the other.

They'll move toward a "moderate" position and then they will call that the status quo for 20 more years until the status quo becomes so fringe that they lose elections again.

Social Conservatives are a godamned ball and chain for progress.

You mean it expanded the market. Separating idiots from their money is a grand old American pastime.

You have to look back 160 years to find something remotely decent that the Republicans have done?

Besides, the republican party in its current state is not benefitting society.

So your goal is as a democrat partisan who would encourage bad or wrong behavior in a spiteful way even if it were bad for society as a whole simply so you could win and have power?

Posted by Supreme Ruler Of The Universe]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:31:04 -0800 The Stranger I don't. I want them to become more extreme.

The less moderate the republicans are, the less likely the'll win elections. If they become extreme enough, they might even splinter and form a new party. If conservatives start splitting their votes between two parties, the liberals will never lose another election again.
