With the way demographics are changing...

13. I keep saying it... Death Throws

The desperate attempts to reduce the number of Democratic voters on the state level. The crazy attacks on Unions and union workers. The lashing out at immigrants, gays and anyone else they can label as "other". These are all simply the thrashings of a party who's time has come and gone. Rove's "deeper not wider" strategy has forced them to reject the center and that is political suicide in the long run.

They seem crazy because they are in a no win situation. If they turn their backs on the policies they have supported for decades they cease to exist as a party. If they don't turn their backs on the policies they have supported for decades they slowly diminish as a party.

Death Throws.

I don't know if it is four, six, eight or twenty years but it is inevitable. If we can rack up some big wins this year it may hasten the end. The TPers might decide that if they are going to lose anyways then they might as well go form an ideologically pure third party and just lose with true conservatives instead of going through the effort of supporting someone like Rmoney just to watch him lose.
