The GOP's SCOTUS hangover

[Bo-4]

SCOTUS has a laundry list of Nutty RW social and racial issues to rule on. Just when the GOP most wanted them to STFU. :laugh:

It’s a list that includes many of the issues some Republicans warn ran the party aground last November — and which could eventually prove to be the party’s death knell.

“If Republicans want to become the Whigs, they should stick to their guns on all of these issues,” quipped John Lehman, a Navy secretary under President Ronald Reagan and an adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential bid.

Social Cons, especially Religious Right groups like Jay Sekulow's ACLJ (a rip-off acronym Pat Robertson created so as to 'confuse' it with the ACLU).....push these cases....and with all their religious zeal don't ever think about the impact on the GOP's naitonal image.

Either the Court upholds the rightwing position....and thus the GOP loses more voters, especially when the next Presidential election comes around and guys like Kennedy are getting old.

Or the Court strikes down the con position....and the Religious Righties demand the GOP speak out even louder for social con positions and promise "pro-life Justices"....and the GOP loses more voters.

Drum......pretty sure if Reince Priebus told you that sacrificing your first born child to the Republican Party would assure them victory in 2016....you'd do it.

Problem with becoming Whigs is that the Whigs are extinct.. keep up the nuttery and your party will be extinct as well.

Drummy is the kind of Republican, Priebus and the Boys are counting on. As they "moderate" the Party on things like immigration reform....they risk losing the NCM/Boca/etc. guys appearing to be "surrounding on illegals".

But if they have enough "My GOP Right or Wrong" types like DC....who don't care what the GOP has to do to survive.....come out for total, immediate amnesty, Federal funding for abortion, holding gay marriages in Muslim mosques powered by a generator that burns American flags? .....they can pull it off.

They know they can take the DC vote for granted....forever.
