extinct? look... nothing would be better than the death of the 2-party system... but that has as much chance of happening in this country as Romney had of winning the election... ZERO!
i swear nobody gets how our political system works, at all... the defining point of our politics IS the 2-party system... it is like this by design, and it will stay like this by design...
predicted Obama would take this election 4 years ago... and i'm telling you now, Reps will be in the White House 4 years from now...
The republicans will use the same failed approach that I mentioned and others mentioned on posts # 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 45, and 46 in four years.
What, you think republicans will evolve and change?
Hispanics make up 37.6% of the population in Texas and you think that percentage won’t grow over the years?
There’re an estimated 50 million Hispanics in the united states and rising and what party do you think they will be voting for?
You think they will vote for:
The party that wants to put alligators in the river and put up a militarized wall?
The party that says a law needs to be in place to make brown looking people show papers?
Or the party that believes in self-deportation?
We all know that California votes democrat and Texas will soon follow in my lifetime.
So, the party that believes in putting alligators in the river, putting up a militarized wall, the show me your papers, in self-deportation, killing college money, killing health care, killing food stamps, killing social security, and hates the dream act. Is going to win the Hispanic and minority vote, I don’t think so!
On top of that, the country will have even more Hispanic and minority voters in four more years because the ones who are just here, coming here or are not of age yet, will be voting.
Most republicans are over the age of 40 or 50 and the Republican Party is struggling to get recruits. Young people don’t identify with the republican party’s message of racial politics/conservative/religious fascism. As I said, the Republican Party is slowly becoming extinct.
People are sick of the civil war re-enactment’s, shipping jobs overseas, war on terror, war on gays, war on drugs, war on women’s rights, war on minorities, war on separation of church and state, war on body rights, war on immigration, the culture wars, the race wars, racial politics, voter suppression, and the threats of killing college money, health care, food stamps, and social security.
Clinton lost Texas by 214,256 votes in 1992 because Ross Perot received 1,354,781 votes.
Clinton lost Texas by 276,484 votes in 1996.
The hippie white girl that’s married to one of the most liked presidents of all time will be running for president of the united states in 4 years and her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She gets the Women vote, Black vote, Hispanic vote, Youth vote, and the College vote easily. It’s time for the first female president of the untied states.
