@gungasnake,
Ganga you are a hoot! First you state a conviction that the GOPpers are quickly becoming a party that is not controlled by oil/banking and then you post a quote/link to a publication that is a 'awl-budness' newsletter.
As for the GOP losing its base--yes I agree, but that is not necessarily a good aspect. The modern GOP has become the servant of self professed no-nothings. Bullies that are closer to the moralistic rantings of Fred Phelps and Landmark Baptist than the intellectual convertasism of a Bill Buckley or even a Pat Buchanan. IOW the GOP is quickly becoming a party of small tents and small minds.
Granted the DemoKKKrats that you incessantly condemn aren't much better, but at least some of them use their heads for something else than a hat-rack.
I console myself with the observation by a politically conservative friend that in 2010, Barry Goldwater would be searching for an alternative party.
