The Republicans know the demographics are not breaking their way... [View all]

They know that exclusion, blame them over there, the denomization of the other are soon to be seen as failed approaches to national politics. The best they can do is to try and stop people who are newly entered into the electorate from getting to the voting booth.

And that will prove to be a losing tactic as well as financial stability allows people to turn their attention toward more civic involvement.

That is why they appear to be so desperate.

The only thing keeping the GOP hopes alive is that the drawing of the districts after the 2010 census allowed the GOP to draw favorable legislative districts.

If we hang on now, if we can grab some house seats and keep the senate, if we can take some governor mansions back, we can put the Republican Party into a Bath Tub and pull the plug on their hate and cynicisms.
