I think that the group that calls themselves the republican party is hopelessly out of touch with the real world. A group that caters to white, bible carrying middle aged affluent men is pretty much not going to be in the majority anymore.
The majority of people that think they are republicans are realistically just moderate people that are concerned about debt and government spending and maybe lean towards social conservatism. If they would open their eyes, they would realize that their views line up much more closely with a political party that is not the republican party.
Realistically, the majority of democrats are also moderate people who feel that we should all have some responsiblity to taking care of americans that can't take care of themselves but are probably concerned about debt and government spending and maybe lean towards social liberalism.
If all these people talked to each other, they would realize that they have more in common with each other than they do with the extremists who seem to be the ones setting policy for the political parties.
They would make one hell of a third party that would make Barrack and Pelosi and Boehner and Palin completely irrelevant.
I wish that I would see that happen, but it never will. The sheeple can't hear anything over the sound of their own bleating.
