The suggestion that the Republicans are suddenly going to be what liberals want them to be is mind-boggling. If anything, the Republican Party will become even less attractive to Internet liberals, as it's probably going down the road to become a sort of Third Positionist political outfit. As it declines in numbers, the GOP will become more, not less, extreme in its rhetoric and policy positioning. As more and more Hispanic immigrants make it to the polls and the country becomes majority-minority, the Republican Party will be more of a 'white man's party' than the vast majority of liberals can scarcely imagine. I'm talking about a party that will openly advocate closing the borders outright. This of course will likely alienate the business community from the GOP, which will continue moving towards the Democratic Party.

This.

I see the Republicans becoming the party of the common man with the way Democrats abandoned seniors on social security and Medicare in order to concoct Obamacare. They're also becoming more and more the party of minorities and the youth which is a turn off to the elderly. It would be a reverse effect of the great depression.

Umm..

Yes?

Perhaps I'm reading you wrong but you said the GOP is the party of minorities eh?

If anything we're bottoming out in our performance among minorities.
