"You're suffering the same delusions that Pelosi is." No delusions, Tenchu. This has major impact on the way a party operates. "It's only a matter of time before the Republicans figure out that "big tent" is a trap." Trap it may be. But it is the only way for a party to have a national presence in a two party system. If you have a multi-party system, then your party can be "ideologically pure" and win influence from building coalitions between different parties. A two party system requires those coalitions to be built within the party. The Democrats have done this for a long while, and it is what Reagan tried to do with his "big tent". If the Republicans are ditching it, well, they will lose influence and elections on the national level.

"It's only a matter of time before the Republicans figure out that "big tent" is a trap." The trap is a party of ideologically "pure" wingnuts that traps the (R)'s as a permanent minority, generally southern, redneck party of morons. It seems the "official" (R) party is throwing up their hands and letting the teabaggers take it. Arnold can't be an (R) in their party. You probably can't either.

CJ, > Frankly, the Republican party is in deeper trouble than I imagined. You're suffering the same delusions that Pelosi is. It's only a matter of time before the Republicans figure out that "big tent" is a trap. Yup. Its a horrific trap.....soon you will find yourself mixing with people you prefer you didn't. Stay small, lean and pure.....in fact, that should be the R motto.

Prejean Sex Tape Triggers Settlement Posted Nov 4th 2009 5:00PM by TMZ Staff tmz.com ( Maybe she was shaggin' Jeezuz Ten! ) Carrie Prejean demanded more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations with Miss California USA Pageant officials -- that is, until the lawyer for the Pageant showed Carrie an XXX home video of her handiwork. The video the lawyer showed Carrie is extremely graphic and has never been released publicly. We know that, because TMZ obtained the video months ago but decided not to post it because it was so racy. Let's just say, Carrie has a promising solo career. We're told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to jettison her demand and essentially walk away with nothing. As we first reported, the Pageant is paying around $100,000 to her lawyers and publicist -- a fraction of her bills. She pockets nothing in the settlement. Read more: tmz.com
