Please go out and bring back a real political party. We need two.
The Republican Party, with Scozzava's withdrawal from the race in New York State, is now who we thought they were. Religious extremists, racially motivated, no different than religious extremist movements in other countries of the world. As I hope they reject those extremists, so do I hope we reject these.
I look forward to either the return of a truly fiscally conservative-based Republican Party, or the replacement of this Edsel version with another party who follows those beliefs. This country needs two truly representative parties. Not one party and an extremist mob threatening, in turn 1) secession; 2) potential military coups; and other like seditionist policies. It does this country no good.
What they will find is what they have been railing against. The demographics of this country are changing. There is no stopping that, and it serves no purpose to be afraid of it. Once the Republican Party can embrace the demographic changes in the U.S. Population and return to what they believed in once, rather than a policy based on villainizing everyone that is simply "not like them", then they will have a chance. Until then, they will be standing on an ever-shrinking iceberg in an ocean that laps closer and closer to its edge.
I await the comments to come that, as I said of this group, move to villainize my comments rather than delineate their proposed policies.
