		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Closed minded and intolerant progressives&quot;?  

That is rich.  

From Pat Buchanan:

&lt;q cite=&quot;&quot;&gt;Three other states -- Iowa, New Hampshire and New Mexico -- have gone Democratic in four of the past five presidential contests. And Virginia and Colorado have ceased to be reliably red.

Not only are the 18 hostile terrain for any GOP presidential ticket, Republicans hold only three of their 36 Senate seats and fewer than 1 in 3 of their House seats. &quot;Democrats also control two-thirds of these 18 governorships, every state House chamber, and all but two of the state Senates,&quot; writes Brownstein.

In many of the 18, the GOP has ceased to be competitive. In the New England states, for example, there is not a single Republican congressman. In New York, there are only three.

&quot;State by state, election by election,&quot; says Brownstein, &quot;Democrats since 1992 have constructed the party&#039;s largest and most durable Electoral College base in more than half a century. Call it the blue wall.&quot;


What has been happening to the GOP? Three fatal contractions.

Demographically, the GOP is a party of white Americans, who in 1972 were perhaps 90 percent of the national vote. Nixon and Reagan rolled up almost two-thirds of that vote in 1972 and 1984. But because of abortion and aging, the white vote is shrinking as a share of the national vote and the population.

The minorities that are growing most rapidly, Hispanics and Asians, cast 60 to 70 percent of their presidential votes for the Democratic Party. Black Americans vote 9-1 for national Democrats. In 2008, they went 30-1.

Put succinctly, the red pool of voters is aging, shrinking and dying, while the blue pool, fed by high immigration and a high birth rate among immigrants, is steadily expanding.

Philosophically, too, the country is turning away from the GOP creed of small government and low taxes. Why? &lt;q cite=&quot;&quot;&gt;

Your party is a rump party my friend.  The GOP apparently is the intolerant one.  Catering to the aged, racist fringe of the south, that still refers to blacks as &quot;boy&quot; and insist that Obama is a muslim.  

Start twittering...its going to be a long 8 years for you and your ilk]]></description>
