A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand...*Updated*
I've been thinking a lot about this Abraham Lincoln quote lately. To me, this sums up what is happening in the Republican party. What do you think? Once the dust settles, who do you think is going to end up with control of the Republican party? Do you think this schism will end up strengthening a third party?
UTA: Maybe more Republicans are open to this discussion now? I think that the division in the Republican party is the biggest reason Mitt lost. Where do we go from here?
No.
Republicans are more united than ever against the ignorant tomfoolery of the Democrat Party.
There is no significant divide in the Republican Party to amount to anything when civilization is on the line.
We see that civilization is on the line.
Democrats see free birth control pills.

Oh God. And there you have, repubican brain power in action.
In fact, the conservatives who are moderate seem to have a hard time finding a place in the party. The party now seems to be so beholden to the ultra-conservatives and tea partiers that they have lost sight of the actual principles that the party is supposed to be about. And that is an opinion you hear voiced by a lot of conservatives. Jeb Bush recently said that Ronald Reagan would have no place in the current republican party, he would be considered too "liberal."

*Raises eyebrows*
The Republican party is extremely fractured. Republicans are abandoning the Romney ship left and right. There is a huge fight for control between the socially moderate fiscal conservatives and the religious right. Do you truly not see it? Perhaps you would benefit from taking a step back and observing it objectively because what is going on right now is going to end up costing the party for a long time if they can't figure out a way to come together and compromise with eachother. If they can't work together within their own party, how are they ever going to work with the Democrats to govern?

Absolutely. It is extremely divided.
What do you think will end up happening, Pam? Do you think they will be able to come together and compromise?
I don't know what will happen. Some of the things that you see happening are inexplicable. I would hope that both parties would try to be less partisan and work together and I would like to see less rancor and more acceptance of the fact that there is diversity of opinion within each party and that's actually a good thing.
Here's the "compromise".
Get someone besides Obama into the White House.
That's our compromise within the Republican Party right now.
Anything else will be worked out later.

...and they don't seem to be having much luck with that.

Yet Obama and Romney are basically tied, despite all the freebies Obama gets from mainstream media, still tied !!
Romney has my respect for even running.
I think Jon Huntsman would have been the guy to possibly beat Obama and get moderates on board.
Right now every Republican I know it either voting third party or for Obama.
I respect anyone who is willing to run. It takes a huge toll on the individual and their family.
