REBUBLICANS DEATH SPIRAL BEGINS AS THEIR BASE BEGIN TO TURN ON THEM.

You know your party is in trouble is when the head of the RNC has a public temper tantrum over CNN and NBC daring to construct two as yet unfilmed movies/documentaries about his number one enemy come 2014: Hillary Clinton. Yeah Because Fox News never does that, except of course all the times they actually did just that. Did you forget the nonstop coverage the channel dedicated to Mitt Romney and his home life before he even became the nominee? It was Mitt half the time and Obama is the devil the rest. Reince Preibus (whose name makes him instinctively want to punch him for being a pretentious twerp) is one of many, many reasons that 2014 is already shaping up to be not quite the rosy predictions even I was making just a few weeks ago for the GOP.

2014 will bring many more vulnerable seats for the Democrats and the GOP should be sitting pretty. The right traditionally does better in mid-term election, like the sweep that brought the Tea Party into power in 2010, and this country to a standstill. The Republicans only need a six seat pickup with 14 seats up for grabs. Some they no have chance at. But others like Georgia, Kentucky and Alaska, which should be red state holdouts, are looking blue suddenly due to changing demographics, terrible candidates and a party that is losing people through death and lack of vision.

No party can exist without a plan for the future. And say what you want about the democrats, they have spelled put of plan to fix things. Now, I know that their plan is doomed to failure, but it is step in the right direction in some ways and hopefully we can fix the flaws before they blow up in our faces. The Tea Party is preventing any of that and again, a reason people are losing hope with the GOP. But the Right's plan, what is it exactly? To me it looks like they want to end all programs for the poor, give it to rich people, and let us fend for ourselves in all matters. Who is voting for that plan? Apparently nobody but recent polls say old people are paying attention and they HATE the GOP's plan to end Medicare and privatize Social Security among other things. And they are making Republicans pay by not voting for them anymore. Look at these facts from James Carville (keeping in mind I have no way of knowing how accurate this poll was):

—In 2010, seniors voted for Republicans by a 21 point margin (38 percent to 59 percent). Among seniors likely to vote in 2014, the Republican candidate leads by just 5 points (41 percent to 46 percent.)

—When Republicans took control of the House of Representatives at the beginning of 2011, 43 percent of seniors gave the Republican Party a favorable rating.  Last month, just 28 percent of seniors rated the GOP favorably. This is not an equal-opportunity rejection of parties or government

— over the same period, the Democratic Party’s favorable rating among seniors has increased 3 points, from 37 percent favorable to 40 percent favorable.

—When the Republican congress took office in early 2011, 45 percent of seniors approved of their job performance. That number has dropped to just 22 percent — with 71 percent disapproving.

—Seniors are now much less likely to identify with the Republican Party. On Election Day in 2010, the Republican Party enjoyed a net 10 point party identification advantage among seniors (29 percent identified as Democrats, 39 percent as Republicans). As of last month, Democrats now had a net 6 point advantage in party identification among seniors (39 percent to 33 percent).

—More than half (55 percent) of seniors say the Republican Party is too extreme, half (52 percent) say it is out of touch, and half (52 percent) say the GOP is dividing the country. Just 10 percent of seniors believe that the Republican Party does not put special interests ahead of ordinary voters.

—On almost every issue we tested — including gay rights, aid to the poor, immigration, and gun control — more than half of seniors believe that the Republican Party is too extreme.

These figures do coincide with other polls I have seen so I they should be well within the margin of error, although the second from last part makes no sense as half is used three times for no explained reason. People who identify themselves as Republican are dropping every year as Democrat and Independent grows in ranks. Independent, the country undefined majority moderates, now make up the largest party in the country, yet we have no candidates. Why? Shouldn't we have one?

Meanwhile, in Crazytown, the GOP couldn't pass their own bill as the Ryan Budget plan came up again and met with unexpected resistance form House members in their own party who refused to say yes to it. In the past, it sailed through, getting near 100% of Republicans voting yes. Now, some are seeing how unpopular that bill really is and are saying "Gee, maybe I should walk away from this if I want my cushy job for another two years." The House keeps voting on bills that will never pass and are ignoring bills that could actually help the country and America appears to be waking up out there. It is your job out the dear readers to spread the word. The GOP is filled with lunatics and if we keep voting the lunatic fringe into office, we are all going to look like Detroit.

Don't believe me? The Far Right is filled with people who recently showed up at an Obama appearance in, of course, Arizona, and started to sing "Bye Bye Blacksheep." I kid you not that actually happened. Others like Deanne Bartram raised a sign saying, "Impeach the Half-White Muslim!" So thanks to the Zimmerman case, we have a whole new level of racism where half-whatever people will now be labeled as such. Wonderful. Why is the right filled with this level of stupidity? Because they are only the ones gullible enough to vote themselves into poverty.

The right is dying on the vine. It has no ideas, no vision and that catches up to you after a while. You have to have a plan for the future, a roadmap of where to take the country. Not gay people are bad, abortion is evil and Obama is the devil. That is not a plan. That is nothing. And pretty soon, that's all the GOP is going to have.
