Oh, you can have more than two political parties, (and we do), but the way our gov't is set up by the Constitution, only two parties are ever likely to dominate any election.

It's like cars - nothing says they have to have 4 wheels, but the function of them makes 4 wheels by far the most popular choice. There have been 3 axle 6 wheel cars, and 3 wheel cars, but they never became popular.

The GOP deserves to lose and I hope they learn some hard lessons, that way after 4 more years of Obama and not having to run against an incumbent, that they nominate a better candidate. If the GOP nominates another whack job from a weird religious cult like Rick Santorum, you will get Nancy Pelosi in the White House.

Santorum or Pelosi in the White House?

Right now Richard Mourdock is down 11 points in a very red state because of his "pregnancy by rape is god's will" BS.

Richard is a whack job, and the party asked him to quit the race, but he wouldn't. When you open your mouth and stuff your whole leg down your throat, you need to get out of politics, clearly. IMO, Richard is toast in politics.

This is the "social conservative" crap that drives the younger people away from the GOP in droves and it's killing the party.

Yes, I agree. The Republicans wanted a platform and a candidate more conservative than last time. At the same time, the whack jobs have to be cut from the herd - they're a mess, and sickening.
