The reason the GOP is going down is not because of Mitt, it's because of Faux.

40. I will see your point, and raise you one

Not only of Fox bad for the Republican party, it is also bad for the democrats, but not in the obvious way. Yes, Fox hammers liberals, but what that does is make sure the only dems that have a chance of winning are BLUE DOGS.

Let us be honest, Jon Huntsman is not that far off from a Centrist Blue Dog. Indeed, if he left the GOP, there would be calls to embrace him, the way Charlie Crist was embraced.

Let us be honest: while Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are way more liberal the the GOP, they are much closer to the right than what used to be the Democrats. They are still far to the left of RayGun, but FDR would probably scream at both of them.

So, we have a one party system, that has effectively compromised BOTH parties. Meanwhile,what do the Rich care? The Rich are not even allied to apartiuclar nation anymore, as everywhere from Paris to New York to Australia is just another Hotelroom, the way it is for none other than Rupert Murdoch.
