    Printing money isn't new wealth.

    Not entirely clear to me that printing money was what he was talking about there, but maybe he was.

    That's all we've seen from not republicans. You can imagine new wealth comes by selling widgets that cost $2 to make for $1. But that's not really wealth, it's at a $1 cost per.

    Does "not republicans" include libertarians?

    Libertarians win few elections to the house and senate, but it's improving.

    Ron Paul is a Libertarian who ran and won as republican. How did he vote? A clue is his nickname is Dr. No.

    The author of your article is right about a few things. Republicans do have to govern, and hard right is a loser.

    Republicans need to dump religion and focus being the party of science and industry. This focus by them of being pro business but science deniers is just weird. Let the Democrats be the party of social change and religion.

    That would be the smart move at this point, demographically. Not clear how they can get from here to there, though.

    The problem is the religious right are the republicans' ground game. They don't have unions on their side to steal workers' wages to employ on the party's behalf. The unions do organize people to go door to door and hand out fliers and that sort of thing. Republicans went wrong when the religious right demanded the pro in the quid pro quo thing.

    They are truly best off supporting religious freedom (and Liberty of all kinds) and keeping government out of it all.

    The small government platform is a winner, if only they'd actually implement small government when in power.

    They can also take a lesson from Rand Paul, who's reaching out to hispanics and blacks and other minorities.

    A good read from barfo's site:

    They'd need a Republican to lead them.

    How do you see the Pubs as a party of science deniers? I don't get that at all.

    Ha! The Blue wall!! On the current track, it seems to me that even the dimmest of the slow will begin to peer around the Blue wall searching for a way to make a living and begin to question wisdom of following the piper.

    Has anyone looked at their healthcare options? Geez what a fuckup you voted in favor!!!

    I'm way richer now than I was in Nov, 2008... especially since I was without a full-time job for 3 of the 8 years from Nov, 2000 - Oct, 2008. I'm curious to see how I'll do from Nov, 2016 - Oct, 2024 during Jeb's reign or whoever it ends up being...
