The US system is designed not to let parties die. They appear to die but they come back all the time. Only time it could happen is when there is third party in the wings or a movement that transcends party loyalty. Then #3 can replace #2 with former #2 dying. I think the last time that happened is when republicans replaced the whigs. TR Bull moose party had a shot at doing it and if Perot had been more like bloomberg might have happened then.

To claim now that the GOP is facing extinction is a little premature, don't you think? Well that's not exactly what I said: "The Republican party is getting creamed. Guys like you and Rush are dinosaurs." The Neo fringe has driven the country left while the Dems have moved (mostly) towards the middle. The Neo's really are Dinos... and they may not be driven to extinction they will no longer have influence. That was pretty much demonstrated by McCains nomination.

"To claim now that the GOP is facing extinction is a little premature, don't you think?" Well, we don't really think you'll become EXTINCT. We think you'll become a southern regional minority party of rednecks, racists, paranoid warmongers and unreconstructed neocons with a few outlier states like Utah and a few others as well as disgruntled nihilist people such as yourself scattered all around. If the (D)'s screw up as royally as the (R)'s have, you'll have a chance to come back.

After all, the GOP's cumulative balance sheet is a bit of a nightmare.......not only have you all ruined a lot of lives but you have put the country in a needless war while running up debt like it was party time 24/7. And you all still don't think you've done anything wrong. On its current track, I would say extinction is the likely end result for the GOP.
