Are there any Dems on this site ? How would you like to finish the GOP off, kill it and bury it ? I can tell you the easiest way to do that.
Make the biggest contribution you possibly can to the American Constitution Party.
This will help to siphon off all the conservatives from the GOP to the ACP, leaving just the folks who would call themselves “moderates.”
Those “moderates would be just as comfortable in the Democratic Party, and probably wouldn’t like being a part of a permanent minority, and thus are likely to join you.
Don’t just wish the GOP implodes; help make it happen.

I’ve long felt CD-4 would be prime territory for a breakout ACP candidate. The problem w/ the party is that their online efforts are 10 years out of date, the spend all their time trying to place their 20 yard signs, and they think all the votes are in Sedgwick Co.
If the ACP wants money, prove a candidate can do more than masturbate in their own feces (politically speaking). Get a decent candidate, go after press, sockpuppet the shit out of the blogs, and the money will flow. Just you wait!
But running the standard 92-yo crazy “Pastor” Bob from Ye Old Trailer Park as your Constitution Party candidate isn’t going to do the trick. Get some plucky suburban dad/mom who won’t break a camera lens, and the ACP will rise.
Tear it up, Barron!
After the 2002 midterm elections? By that point, Dems had lost both houses and the presidency and were bumbling pretty badly – but they came back strong. Could something similar be on the horizon for the GOP?
After September 11, the Repubs had a big advantage, but one that was fated to fade with time. People didn’t dislike the Dem positions on most issues; they were just scared and wanted to rally behind the administration.
People do dislike the Repub positions on most issues. The Dems do have a temporary advantage that will fade (the negative views of the Bush administration) but it is smaller than the 9-11 bump.
I don’t take from this that the Dems should be cocky or assume that the Repubs will not reassert themselves. But the two situations really aren’t that parallel.
Naming Democratic “leaders.” Bill Clinton or Al Gore would have been obvious choices.
Dem leaders in 2002.
Who would name Reid or Pelosi today?
When you have the presidency, it’s easy. When you don’t, not so much.
I don’t think I could name a “single” leader of the GOP. There are many voices, all of which represent a faction of the party. I’d like to see this same poll in 2001 and look at how the Dems responded. The republican party is still trying to find itself, but that doesn’t mean there is no leadership.
And, in an off election year, the general public have not been submitted to hours of political rhetoric as they would during an election year.
It’s the last paragraph that is important, but in the wake of a huge election loss, it will take some time to rebuild the party. I’d like to see this poll again next June.
We’re just enjoying the fact that the only ones with enough name recognition to register are such putzes and enjoy such low approval ratings. Also amusing that Palin, the one we were all supposed to be shivering in our boots over, is already a mostly forgotten joke. Just good clean fun we’re havin’ here.
The more meaningful number is the 33% of Republicans who said they disapprove of their own party as opposed to 4% of Dems saying they disapprove of theirs. Love Barron’s idea. That and Texas seceeding.
I saw 33% on the TV. Hope it’s my mistake. That’s even more fun.
But when the Democratic Party was kind of “in the wilderness”, I think most Democrats either identified President Clinton, Howard Dean, or (~2004) Sen. Kerry as the leader of their party. I would guess in the leadership polls about 80% of Dems even in bad times had someone in mind as the leader of their party.
To have almost half completely without a clue is Bad. It’s not like there’s a shortage of possibilities… And it’s not like there’s a vacancy at the head of the RNC, either.
as long as you pretty much agree with Limbaugh, Cheney, or Gingrich. Those seem to be the only three factions of the party doing any talking right now.
Full of hot air 🙂
but fewer and fewer people are allowed or want in.
Are you kidding me? SIXTEEN percent of Democrats/Dem-leaning people can’t name a SINGLE Democratic leader?
Um, hello: BARACK OBAMA!!!
We’re a nation of Jaywalkers.
