1. I think your assessment of the current state of the GOP is correct

except that you left out the fact that they still have all the money and control all the resources.
They should be irrelevant yet they hold most of the cards that dictate much about our system and our futures.

We need to "kick them while they are down" though I recognize that that is against the nature of many liberals (myself included).
We need to take the cards of our democracy back from the few and give them to the many.

The failure of republican policies and beliefs needs to be demonstrated and documented in an overtly public manner, over and over, until it becomes accepted truth. And those who have foolishly supported republican policies need to be nurtured and embraced by the rest of us so that they become the strongest defenders of a "kinder gentler America".

Otherwise, republicans will repackage themselves and continue to sell their snake-oil to gullible Americans.
