In this last election the people did not just vote Obama back into office, they tried to send a message to the GOP, work for us the people or we will vote you out of office. Again with Hagel the GOP is saying, we don't care. We are more afraid of being primaried by the Tea Party than we are of the "people". I see every vote by the GOP that is negative, every time they refuse to work with the Dems and Obama in a non-partisan way, as another nail in their coffin. They can continue to play to their base, but it is a shrinking base and soon even with their redistricting plans, they will be losing elections in the states as well as the national elections. Just look at Texas as a good example. In a few years it may be a purple state and in a few more a blue state if the GOP doesn't change its ways.
