Changing demographics will eliminate in the long term. There is no demand for conservative policies in the U.S. because more than 50% of the population had decided that it can pay itself from the treasury and stick someone else with the bill. <br><br>I think the Reagan Administration and both Bush Administration has shown that it is impossible to implement conservative politices when friends and supporters that staffing the government. No one wants to give up any power or have their budget cut. The worst thing the Republicans did was run deficits.

There is no doubt that the GOP is a mess but I think they need to find their selves in that which is reflective of America. Meaning that a majority of Americans are conservative.

The last 2 years and the next 2 years is simply a rejection of the war in Iraq and the war on terror. It is not a rejection of conservative or GOP values. Those advocating the crash and burn theory believe one thing as do I.

The democrats will crash and burn within the next 4 years. The party in power always does.
