The silent revolution or should I say evolution?

So the solution is what? totally shut us out?

If I worked for the RNC, yes, that's what I'd recommend. Just looking at what it takes to win elections, the social conservatives are a hindrance. Independents don't like them, liberals don't, the libertarian right doesn't, non-christians don't, and so on. The libertarian right, however, is far more appealing to all these groups. Plus, they don't tend to make gaffes that make the Republican Party look like a hate group involved in politics.

There's also very little risk of loosing SocCons, seeing as they'll still vote Republican en mass if the libertarian right takes over.

So where would we go to have our voices heard? The Communist Demo-Rat party ain't it.

I'm not a communist, nor did I live in the Soviet Union - which was never communist, by the way.

Chavez was Communist through and through. And any supporter of his is Communist as well. And yes, the USSR was decidedly Communist, contrary to what your historically atrophied mind says.

No. They're just muddling federal and state legislatures with unconsititutional crap that'll never get passed.

Remember when the teabaggers said they wouldn't accept lobbyist money? Now they're flush with special interest cash.

This is an easy fix. We simply ban liberals from all debates. They can eat, shit, and cite each other on Wikipedia... that's it. Defang the pit vipers, so to speak, and then we'll have peace. ;)

After the RE-election of President Obama, there was a lot of discussion of the civil war that was erupting in the Republican party. There were a few flash points, like between Palin and Rove, and Foxnews v. Palin and a few others.... And now it seems to have quited down and the lines have been drawn.... Trench warfare has begun and it will be slow and quiet until the the 14' elections.

Here is what I see....

There is a move by the Establishment and the Libertarians to oust the Social Conservatives. The future of the Republican party lies with Rand Paul's Goldwateresque style of libertarianism. Hands off regarding Gay Marriage, and Mariajuana will being almost radically fiscally conservative.

My take on this is that it will be very good for America, the social conservatives including the religous right have been using government power to hold the freedom of individuals hostage for far too long. We have an oppertunity to have both major parties to agree on social issues and take a gigant step forward. If the civil war in the Republican party ends with a libertarian victory... I will declare victory for AMERICA. I simply HOPE that they become true honest LIBERTARIANS, not the libertarian light presented by Rand Paul, but any step toward individual freedom is a step in the right direction.

Will the Republican Party become the Libertarian Party in everything but name?

ROTFLMAO.......I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you. When have Libertarians shown they can do anything but talk big talk on internet blogs?

I think it's more of a thing where the religious right social conservatives are told to shut up during elections but get their policies get promoted after Republicans win. You may not vote for social conservatism, but that's what you endup with.
