The GOP is no longer a national party...

From now on I will simply refer to them as the Know Nothing Party http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know-Nothing_Party, because this is what they have become since 2010, by letting the Tea Party nuts in and chasing out the moderates. I hope they suffer the same fate as the original Know Nothings.

They have more power now then they did in the 40's, and you could have declared them dead then.

They are a undead hydra that will rise again, cut off one head, two more will grow.

I say that with no enjoyment, just to make you wary.

Germany still has NAZIs, even after the shit they put the country through.

Repugs still got 49.9% of the vote, so you are way premature.
