The republican party has been trying to cram religion down the throats of America for the past 30 years. The republican party this past election pulled out every one of the negatives I mentioned. They also made it a point to use religion at every turn, from God determining the election, to God helping us win the war in Iraq, to praying publicly every chance they got. This was being done by people who waited in line spewing racial slurs, and disgusting comments that all of America should have found offensive. By the way I am not religious, and do not read the bible as I find it totally fiction. The republican party at this point I would describe as COMEDY.

It was only four years ago that the Dems were in an incredibly similar situation. Ultimately, the truly intelligent "Idea" men/women with a conservative ideological bent will regain control, and tons of moderate conservatives that voted for obama will have to reevaluate the political landscape once again. This election proved, more than anything, that most American's prefer to be united, as opposed to labeled by their political philosophy. That was made Reagan great, not his policies, or the fact that he was republican, but that he made everyone feel that they were a part of America and a part of the solution. Hopefully, that is a lesson Obama learned as well. It would also help if the RNC attempted to abide by any of their core beliefs beyond social issues.

I suspect these problems have been simmering for a long time and are just now percolating to the surface. The party needs to figure out what they stand for and then how to get that clear message out. As long as they bicker and argue and accuse each other, they will lose even more ground in Michigan and nationally. I also don't see Palin's narrow bigoted viewpoint as that direction. She appeals to people like her, but absolutely no one else, and she seems unwilling to bend enough to broaden her support. Look at what happened to their voters. People may have liked McCain, but couldn't imagine her in charge. Or they may love her, but didn't like McCain's changing positions. Either way, they couldn't garner enough votes, and without him, I doubt she'll make it through the 2012 primary season, if she even maintains her governorship in 2010. So if she's their leader, they are in trouble for a good long while.

The religious right (an I am a born again Christian but not an intollerant hate filled religious righter) spews hate for anyone who does not believe like them on certain key issues, and the rest of the part turned into inmoral corrupt hateful that defined the words corruption and greed. Even Elizabeth Dole who I have always respected sank lower than a snake in her attack on a fellow Christian. I have concluded that my former party is corrupt to the bone and beyond salvaging. Many of my friends voted Dem. for the first time in their lives this last election. Pride cometh before a fall. Our party had become prideful, boastful bullies and now we have paid the price. Now I am no longer a Repub and after Jeb Bushes comment of setting up a shadow gov. I do not believe I will EVER return.

What you have just read is true for the entire RNC. They can't agree on anything. They have no idea who they are moving forward. I once belonged to this party that claimed to believe in strong fiscal responsibility and smaller government. Look at the mess we/they are in now with no for way out. It will take years to find a new direction for them. It is apparent that the two party system is on its way out. I have become a registered Independent and hope my new party can find a way to represent the people who are not far left loons but also do not pound their bibles. I believe you will find most of us somewhere in the middle. Wow
