I hope so for the parties survival. We need two parties to balance out the needs of the country. + 5

No, because the GOP has been taken over by the very people Dwight Eisenhower warned them about
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

Probably not. Republicans have been predominantly mentally ill since the 1970s.

Not any more. I left in the mid '90s. We need a centrist party. +5

No more than in the Dem Party. What we need is a strong Libertarian alternative to the dual Authoritarian Parties we're currently saddled with.

What time do religious services start at CPAC 2012? I need to pray for the souls of the homeless so they stop being lazy.

True. As is, we only have two sub-parties that whipsaw the voters between them.
