I don't know how to express this without sending you into a tirade about how the GOP is the last best hope. But, I will try. Do your best.

The power to create social and financial disaster is at the Federal Level. Republican governors and state houses do not get a vote on such issues. I have seen a demographic map of the US and how voters made their choices in the election. The whole map was RED except for very dense population centers, mass ethnic concentrations, and areas where union affiliation counted. Plenty enough BLUE to continue the march to oblivion.

The majority voted for Obama, not Romney. They voted for free stuff to continue. They voted for union wages to be high. They voted to further tax their definition of the "Rich". They voted for ME/NOW.
The GOP does not have an answer to that voter mentality, and a debate about abortion or gay marriage is now trivial to the new MAJORITY. And, with birth/immigration rates, the majority is growing. They do not care for the idea of individual responsibility, financial, moral or otherwise.

So, yes, I think the GOP with this election has become a fringe group. The GOP's message does not resonate with enough voters to change the suicide dive we are in. It is, maybe, the best hope we have to reverse the trend, but not today. Those who are taking outnumber those who are giving.

And, GF and Archie do not contribute to a solution, do they?? Why debate them on trivial issues?
