the GOP nominating process having devolved into a heresy trial

They are the best GOP candidates the Liberal media put forth.
You Libs deserve the candidate you marketed.
I aim to NOT disappoint.

Be careful what you wish for.

Classic wing-nut response. Never take responsibility for mistakes.

It's an interesting article, more interesting than the stock conservative responses we're likely to get here. Here's another snip:

Since we have determined through the years that we shall have two and only two political parties in this country, the irrationality of one of them is such a grave threat to good governance that the other party has an affirmative obligation to the country to make the irrational party pay such a fearsome price for its indulgent eccentricity that it must reform itself or risk permanent irrelevance. Unfortunately, that task falls to the other creaky vehicle, the Democratic party, which has proven spectacularly ill suited to it.

From the story:
In Washington, there is no leadership anymore, no "Republican establishment" to which anyone can appeal. The ferocious strength of faith-based know-nothingism in the party's base has resulted in a stubborn refusal to adopt even those ideas — like an individual mandate for health care, or cap-and-trade as an energy policy — that began as Republican ideas.

Me:
I couldn't have said it better myself. The old-time Republicans must be running in fear from this new crew of religious zealots. Used to be called the Grand Old Party, but no more...

If the Democrats were more moderate on "social" issues they'd regain permanent majority status. But of course, they won't. The Democrats are in the pocket of hard-left special interests like Planned Parenthood and the homosexual pressure groups.

The Democrats stopped representing average Americans way back in 1968.

The Democrats are the party of radical college professors & urban pseudo-intellectuals and their mind-numbed minions.

And then they wonder why so many people out there cling to "guns and religion."

It is you that should take responsiblity. That is your apathy for the Liberal media that interfered with the Republican primaries, by systematically waiving each candidate as a red herring, building each one up, then tearing them down one by one. Starting with Bachman, then Cain, then Perry, then Sanatorium, then Gingrich, landing on Mitt and touting him as the best the GOP has to offer. Purposely passing Ron Paul over completely not only that, but invoking media silence on him. Historians wont even be able to tell if Ron Paul was even a candidate if all they have to go by will be media reports.

Well Romney got the nod. And I'm afraid my Liberal schill of a friend, he WILL be the next president of the United States of America.
I'm afraid your President Obama made a fatal mistake casting his lot with the Gay marriage crowd. Thursday of last week was a preview of what November 8th is going to look like.
Hunker down and enjoy the ride, we've got Romney incoming.
But you Liberals already knew that didn't you? That's why the guy who invented Obama care was carefully hand selected to run against Obama. So just shut up and enjoy the ride.

The Dems have gone completely over the deep end...their wacky, anti-American views are more evident to more people than at any time in the party's history.

They act like Dictators won the War, and are brainwashing the masses. If that wont work, there will be reconditioning camps.

ALL ABOARD!!!! Choo Choo

So if you have a crazy person sprinkling gasoline all over the office and striking matches, do you engage them in conversation?

Me I try to put some distance and warn others before the building catches fire. Hence my exit from the GOP a few years back.

I agree that the Republicans have gone batshit crazy.

But I can't bring myself to vote for Democrats. Didn't you yourself say that you wanted the owner of Chic-Fil-A dead? How is that any less hateful that the stuff on the far-right?

Are you suggesting that republicans are easily influenced/manipulated by the media?
