[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]Not surprising to see this thread is full or sweeping generalizations about Republicans and Conservatives, just another day from the ignorant lefty base that is OT.
I personally do not care about the GOP, it can die off along with the Democrats as well. The party of Lincoln no longer exists, but I highly doubt this link from the Huffington Post. Like it or not, but the GOP still has a very large voter base, and conservatives are getting stronger than ever. I seriously doubt that liberals will have an easy time winning the next election.
One thing though that the Republican party needs to do (and this is coming from someone who has many conservative views) is they need to rebrand themselves a bit, at least stop being so extreme. They shouldn't alienate themselves to only the far right, allow people to be in the party who may have different views on some issues.
EDIT: Also one thing Conservatives REALLY need to do is become a bigger spotlight in the media. You would be surprised at how many idiots vote or change thier views based off of what some Hollywood liberal idoit says. Conservatives are misrepresented in the media, they need to get in there and make themselves heard. The far left does it, why would it be wrong for Conservatives to do the same?

Yeah, no. The next generation of young voters aren't going to sponsor state controlled theocracies where gays have no rights and their pell grants get stripped away from them. The GOP is getting weaker, not stronger. Unless they change their social policy at the very least, gerrymandering is their last option of political survival.Most young people vote Democrat because they don't know any better.

The parties arn't static and I expect them to change over time (if I had it my way they would both be dead), but people's views also change as they get older as well. When the people who used to be 20 year old college kids get to be older many of them will start to get more conservative and vote GOP. This is how life works.
Conservatives are not going anywhere, sorry. Neither social or economic. Maybe in OT lawlaw fantasy land, but this is a bit of a fringe community at best on the internet.
