“Unless there is a groundswell in the next election primaries to boot out the GOP establishment types, the Republican Party will loose the 2012 Presidential Election and wind up where it belongs - the dustbin of history with other political parties which have outlived their usefulness.”

You're right.

The flip side of this scenario is:

If the next President is a Conservative (and this can only happen WITH Tea Party support), the next national election will be a Tea Party victory AND the end of the GOP, as well!!

The coming Presidential election is a lose/lose for the GOP. THAT train has already left the station WITHOUT the GOP. That's how I see it.

It has become increasingly difficult with every passing election cycle to believe that the GOP was the party that freed the slaves and led the Union to victory in the Civil War, in other words the party that inspired Union men to offer their lives for a principle.

The Republican Party had a vigorous "youth," a very prosperous "Middle Age" from the 1870's through the 1920's, a satisfying old age until the the 1960's and is now a collection of crooks like Boehner and McConnell who have sold out to the Democrats in return for safe seats and favors for wealthy contributors.

The Republican Party will not have a dignified, evolutionary passing. It will be a horrible death on life support from the Democrats, who seek to keep weak opposition alive merely for the sake of the appearance of "democracy." The death of the Republican Party will be all the more horrible because it us who must pull the plug on this collection of self-serving poltroons.

Unfortunately, the Republic is at risk. Ain't nobody wrote she'll last forever.
