Could immigration permanently split GOP?
What if the "I love the cheap labor" brown people camp can not be reconciled with the "I hate/fear" brown people camp of the Repub party?
What's that saying that you can not continue to serve two Masters?
Maybe this is the issue that will finally break the corporatist wing/social-theocratic wing alliance of the GOP.

1. Base: Have-More and Have Less
Edited on Sat May-27-06 07:29 AM by higher class
Base: Secular and Fundamentalist
Base: White Collar Criminal extremists and Honest
Base: PNAC/neo-con/barons and Goldwater traditionalsits
Base: Educated and Abysmally uneducated
Base: Modestly tolerant and All-out bigoted

There are many ways they are divided.
What a pathetic polarized camp of people from predatory inhuman and illegal policy to blind untruths and off-the-cliff loyalty.

I cannot connect with these people except to know that there is a possibility that some could see the light, recognize that our country is not a democracy, and make a choice and decision about what to change.

2. Oh could we only hope it splits them up
They have been trying for years to split the Democratic party. It would be ironic justice if they split their own party because they were just too damn stupid to realize their principles are just plain flawed.

3. The GOP is divided, they just do a much better job

of keeping an eye on winning the majority. Instead of running a far right nutcase in districts that are heavily Democrat they will run someone that has a chance and contrary to what we do they will actually give the candidate they actually don't like money to run with.
