I didn't write this, but I felt it should be copypasted on here:
Republicans, you farked up big. You really thought you were still the voice of the people. But now, after failing at another big project -- making Barack Obama a one-term president -- someone has to tell you exactly what remains in store for you. You see, as a political party, your end is near.
You stand for nothing. Your actions to anger your base succeed at providing a counterpoint to the Left. The right makes up shiat to support their anger. The Left has nothing more than to look at your retarded excuses for a voting base and politicians to see what happens if we don't vote. Long story short: you could have gotten your way if you just took the time and basically ran a real campaign instead of insisting on rape and other horrifyingly stupid things to boost your angry fat white guy vote.
But you didn't. And therein lies the problem: you're not a real party anymore. You're a catspaw to the rich and corporate. Your voter base is so reactionary and stupid that they will vote for whatever you convince them is the boogeyman, and never stop. Abortion? Gay Rights? This has sunk your party. You had to make up issues to get the hicks voting that they will never, ever stop voting against, even if you need them to vote for your party to keep your corporate money flowing. This is how you end, GOP: not with an explosion, not with some pre-ordained Armageddon. You end when your Southern Strategy, now in tatters, becomes less and less a force.
You have lost the Hispanic vote, the African-American vote, the woman vote, the youth vote, and most of the 99%'s vote because you simply got lazy. You can't get it back, how can you? No matter what you do, your stupid hick base will keep pulling you back into the hell you created. The big in-fight that the GOP is going to have? Won't save the party. Nothing can save you now.
This is how it's going to go: you're going to keep pushing in tons of money to lose. You're going to have to shove most of that money into a moderate's hands because your base is going to vote for anybody else BUT him (and we can safely say it will be a 'him'). You're going to try to pander to the undecideds while your base screams for whatever racist thing they want you to do to prove that he's a 'real conservative.' And this is going to go on forever and ever. You can't do both, GOP. You cannot obey your rabid base and get moderate votes, and those who would buy that are either not going to bother or simply turn Democratic because it's the rational vote left. McCain proved it. Romney proved it. Whomever you purchase next will prove it as well.
I'd leave you with some advice, but fark it. The world doesn't need a Republican Party. And by 2020, nobody will give a shit.
I just think the Obama campaign's brought it to a new level.
