Republicans are what holes???

I think it is more likely that the moderate Dems abandon the tax and spend, lets throw another trillion away Democrats and join a Republican Party that repudiates the liberal spending policies of GWB and returns to being the party of fiscal responsibility.
Since the spenders are in firm control of the Dems and there is no realistic possibility of forming a third party, this is the only way that sanity can be returned to Washington.

I don't know how likely this is, but I sure hope it happens!

Or at least I hope voters never again allow a single party to control the House, Senate, and Presidency.

I think it is much more likely that the independents join with the moderates from both parties in rebelling against "politics as usual," bureaucracy, and the leadership of both parties.

I also foresee a large increase in the biatch slapping of those who are so focused on "us vs. them" they can't have a civilized (or coherant)discussion about ANYTHING!

If I were a moderate Democrat, I would never consider joining the Republican party simply because my chances of getting the presidential nomination would be zero. The old guard Republicans would never throw their support behind me. They would would never let it happen. Look how difficult it was for McCain, and he's not really even moderate. He just doesn't meet the Limbaugh Litmus criteria. It was a tough battle for him within his own party. Sure, the party would welcome moderates, they would just tell them in private "welcome to our party, glad to have you, you're going nowhere".

The facts simply don't support your assertion that the Democrats are more inclusive than the Republicans. Pro-abortion Rudy Guliani had a huge role in the last R convention, where the Democrats would not even let pro-life Gov. Carey of Pennsylvannia speak at theirs 4 years ago. And we all heard what bastions of bi-partisanship pelosi, Reid and Obama are. What was their line? I believe something like "We won the election we'll do what we want." Frankly I do not think we need to compromise our principles, we need to stand fast against government spending and intrusion into or lives. You see what compromise on these principles got us: the bail-out and the Patriot Act.

Rudy went nowhere and will continue on that path. Also if I have any complaint about Obama it's that he's showing too much bipartisanship and it's high time he said to hell with the obstructionist Republicans. Enough is enough.

What does coming from North of the Mason Dixon line have to do with anything for a presidential candidate or anything else for that matter??? Sounds like a pretty bigoted statement from a guy calling everyone else racist.

we had 8 good years of yehaw junction politics. trampled constitution, 2 wars, dept. of homeland fear, tax cuts combined with deficit spending, and the complete and utter rape of america by wall street. i believe bible world can step down for awhile.

Too many on the far left believe this way. President Obama won the election with 53% of the vote. 46% voted against him. Hardly an overwhelming mandate for ultra-partisanship. 46% of us deserve representation too.

Many who voted for President Obama thought him more of a centrist. They were voting for a change in the way Washington does business. There hasn't been enough of that yet.

Looks like he's got plenty of obstructionist Democrats to deal with too.
