After seeing how the republicans are dealing with the democrats over the last 4 years and prior, i'm gonna predict the party will be gone in no time. They will not stand up to obama, they will not call him out on his lies(as obama just stated today the republicans are to blame for the sequester cuz they wont close loopholes for the rich which makes no sense yet not one republican will call him out), the republicans are just sitting there allowing the democrats to lie about everything, they cave(on taxes and everything else) and do nothing. They will not fight, they will not even call him out on a lie. The republican party is allowing the democrat party to characterize it, even republicans when polled think the sequester is the republicans fault, and obama came up with idea! we are in serious trouble, since they will most likely take the house back during the next election cycle, and when that happens holy crap, guns, cap n trade, insane taxes, obamacare, it will make chicago and new york look like smooth sailing compared to what we will endure. Once a great of people have been labeled by society, that group of people will never get rid of that label. and our side has been labled the party for the rich and the party that steals from the poor and hates women and minorities, etc. and its not only a matter of time anymore, its happening right before our eyes and i think there is very very little time left for the party.
