The GOP for all practical purposes will cease to exist soon. They are like the Democrats in 1860 - no center, no purpose, no ideas. On the most important question of the day they are deeply divided.

They will nominate someone whose defeat is a certainty.

There will be 3, and maybe 4, candidates. This will not guarantee Obama’s victory, rather, it will assure his defeat.

In any event, if an anti-globalist does not emerge (and the GOP is deeply globalist), the country is finished anyway.

Democrats in 1860 has PLENTY of Center, PLENTY of Purpose, PLENTY of Ideas....and they all hinged on keeping an entire race of people enslaved.

Yes...for anyone who knows history, the Republicans resemble the Whigs circa 1850.

This is the crux of it all! We're going to be destroyed with either party, one will be quicker than the other is the only difference.

To paraphrase, "it's the GLOBALISM, stupid."
