So I hope the republicans reading this start working on that plan!

(22,165 posts)Additionally, they need to keep running candidates extolling the virtues of rape ... the electorate really responds well.
Stay white, male, and strong you republicans ... no one else matters

Sure hope they don't figure this out.

(1,448 posts)in 2013 and marry #4. She will be a 25 yo college grad student, writing a thesis on Newt and the re-awaking of conservative politic in USA. Kinda similar to the Jack Welch wife dump. By 2014, he will have deluded himself into thinking everyone has forgotten all of his negatives. (He will see wife #4 as a "positive".) Will be a ton-of-fun.

There's another federal election in two years.
We did not win the House because liberals didn't show up in 2010. That let Republicans gerrymander themselves a majority.
We should stop making that mistake.

(18,115 posts)The people are ready to move that way. Great progress was made last night on the ballot initiatives. I would prefer a new repub party, or a new center right party and the Dems to become more liberal, more progressive.
Imagine a two party system where marriage equality is not fought over and climate change is acknowledged by both.

(11,816 posts)especially if they really believe there's really no such thing, or that it nevers ends in pregnancy, or that abortion after rape should be outlawed.
Please, please, please, tell us more about what you think about that...

(10,942 posts)Christie will either be denied nomination by them or will be pushed so far to the right that he will be un-electable. Rubio is far right, but once his ethical stains become common knowledge, he will lose to any solid democrat. There is no one else of substance on their bench.
