No Bublbo, the problem for us Republicans is that our party has been hijacked by fanatical over-religious morons. It's gone far too far to the right. And as long as it stays there we will keep losing political power in today's America. Ironically enough, today's Democratic party has come further to the middle than it used to be, and to be blunt, today the Democratic party is almost more old-school Republican than our own party is. I'm a Republican, or I think I used to be, but in many ways I'm more a Democrat today, simply because the party has moved away from me. It's moved away from a lot of people.
The problem with this election was that our party put up Romney, a flip flopping "moderate one day and extreme right the next" man who can't make a stand on anything, against a moderate Democrat who says what he means. Obama had an actual plan, Romney had talking points. Obama is believable, Romney is almost a caricature. We had Jon Huntsman up there in the lineup, a true honest Republican who would have stood an actual chance against Obama, and our party pushed him out and chose the crazies instead. THAT's the Republican party's problem.
I'm hoping Christie can bring the party back together to it's principles in four years. Or at least I'm hoping that someone can. Because if we put up a lineup like 2012 again, with candidates like Perry, Bachman, Santorum, we are going to lose, again. And honestly, if that's what the Republican party is today, then I want it to lose.
