Are you all as stunned as I am about how the States are falling?

90. It can't, and it won't.

Also, I would state that this is happening because the other, standard Public Debate points of the GOP have been absolutely destroyed by recent events:

1) De-regulation of the Private Sector, Randian Objectivity "philosophy", Corporate Personhood, and low (to the point of being non-existent) taxes are GREAT for the economy of those who WORK for a living....DESTROYED to the point even Mitt Romney's supporters knew it.

2) The Democratic Party couldn't do National Security properly if it were given a drawing of what to do in CRAYON...DESTROYED by the fact that it was a REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION that allowed, either by ineptitude, COMPLETE lack of concern, or intentional ignorance the worst terrorist attack in American History, the waging of at least one TOTALLY unnecessary War of Aggression, and the FAILURE to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden when they KNEW WHERE HE WAS. This, combined with the fact that a DEMOCRAT (and an African-American at that, MAN that must still sting like hell in their world hahahahahahahahah) hasn't had a major terrorist attack since he got elected, KILLED BIN LADEN, and (mostly) ended those unnecessary and likely illegal Wars of Aggression.

3) The GOP KNEW that the writing was on the wall for their fight against LGBT Rights the MOMENT the left figured out the argument "hey you can die for your country, but you cant' be Gay while you do it". THIS was the thing that put the issue of LGBT Rights into the Public Consciousness in a way that it had NEVER been before (previous, it had been kind of a weird, left-leaning, dirty liberal hippy kind of a thing to be thinking about), and once people got to talking about it among friends, family, loved ones, random and not-so-random gay people that were adjacently involved in thier lives, it was OVER. People figured out that NO ONE CARED what someone else did with their respective "parts".

This fight against a Woman's Right to choose is a last-ditch effort to prove to the loons that vote for them that the Party is still in any way relevant, and can carry out the Legislative wishes of the idiots who sent them to office; everything else has been utterly stripped from their power to control. Fear not. This attack will be seen for what it is by the Women and Enlightened Men of America, and I can almost PROMISE you the GOP will pay a VERY HEAVY price for what they are doing. It might not happen in the next round of elections (it may not happen until after the next Census, so damn Gerrymandered are the Districts the GOP control) but it WILL happen.

Fear Not. Keep the idea in your mind that Post-Nixion-ian "conservatives" aren't actually interested in anything APPROACHING Traditional American Conservative-ism, and tell this to people who are interested in "what's wrong with America politically". Eventually the tide will turn. Demographically, the future belongs to LIBERALS, and GOP can't do fuck-all about it. And, they KNOW IT.
