Do you see a GOP civil war coming?

It's already happening. The religious extremists and/or the bigoted racists will NEVER relent.

Look for pathetic,but murderous attempts at creating civil unrest from those scuzzy squidbillies!

Here are the facts:

Dems, for the past decade now, have been running really awful raunchy campaigns and attack ads. They do whatever it is necessary to win the race, even if it means stooping to a new low. This turns people off (ask Ohio citizens) because we all already have enough negativity in our own lives with the economy and our personal finances. They also have become, in many ways, very radical than most people would like but they get the votes they need to win from people because the Repubs don't impress nor meet enough of the voters' standards/criteria.

Repubs haven't reached out to minorities enough in their elections to win their votes, which is primarily why Obama won re-election, and when they do that Dems take that opportunity to say they are racist old white guys. The GOP did do a reasonable job in 2010, however, but still not as much as they could have. They also tend to not attack and retaliate enough when they need to in order to defend themselves and their positions on key issues, which was Romney's downfall as well.

From all of this and what I've seen on the internet and in person I can see an even more VERY divided country both in ethnicity and political views as well as wealth. Comparing this troubling divided time to past history it very much resembles the times of Lincoln. IMHO I would say that the governmentnt will be a "lame duck session" for the next couple of years, maybe even 4 years if Repubs still retain control. So we may see the same of what we've seen for the past 2 years. I also could see the Dem party imploding on themselves as they continue the progressive agenda they've latched onto that, traditionally, our country does not stand for. This country, for a fact, is a center-right country. Always has been and always will be. The American people are so blinded by anger right now, which I don't blame them for at all, in some cases, that they won't see what is really going on with and within our government and what our officials really stand for till something radical happens and their eyes open to it. I see this causing an uproar and a common interest with Americans that unites them once again and they will end up knowing and doing the right thing as they always have. Though the American citizens are divided by a political fence, we both stand on common ground. That common ground is reason enough to stand together, agree to disagree on things, and ensure that our children have a better future than we do now.

I am a former Republican, now Independent, and consider myself a libertarian with conservative values. I believe in small government, fiscal conservatism, a country where everyone is allowed to get married, a country that allows the legalization of medical and recreational use of non harmful forms of marijuana (even though I don't smoke it), personal responsibilty in government, a fair tax law with one reasonable set percentage across the board so everyone is paying the same rate as everyone else as well as tax breaks for the less fortunate, and a constant focus one what can help small businesses in the private sector the most thrive once again without the need of government expansion to do so. Would you also believe I'm 18? lol

I think the Republican Party, will now go more Libertarian and try to appease the Hispanic Voters.

Ron Paul was the only Republican who could have defeated Obama in a general election, which was merely one of many reasons I voted for him in the Ohio Primary. Almost every person I communicated with beforehand basically said, "I like him the best, but I don't want to waste my vote. He can't win." That nonsense was taken directly from media talking-heads. But if everyone who liked him would have voted for him, he would have beaten the guy (Romney) who most people didn't like but voted for anyway. Then, the Grand Old Party wouldn't let Dr. Paul speak at the Convention. Well guess what? This make two Presidential elections in a row where Republicans self-sabotaged because of catering to extremists and backing candidates who don't connect with the average citizen. They weren't willing to give Dr. Paul, a veteran and honest person with the most experience of any candidate and only one with a consistent voting record, an important position or to adapt some of his pragmatic policies for his endorsement. So once again, they beat themselves. And now, like last time, people like Karl Rove place blame everywhere else rather than where it really belongs -- which is squarely on the Party's stubbornness and greediness.

he Republican Party must go more Libertarian to have any future.

NH: Ron Paul Primary votes: 56,848. Presidential Election Difference 33,746

Flordia: Ron Paul Primary votes 117,100. Presidental Election Difference 36,039

Ohio: Ron Paul Primary votes 113,256. Presidential Election Difference 100,763

Virginia: RP Primary votes 107,451 Presidential Election Difference 106,721

Electoral College: NH(4) + Florida (29) + Ohio (18) + Virginia (13) = 64 electoral votes

64 + 206 (actual Romney wins) = 270

Ron Paul would have won this election. All Ron Paul supporters and all the voters who voted for Romney would have voted for him.

The GOP civil war isn't coming - it's going on right now and has been going on since 2008.

The GOP needs to go left on social issues and right on fiscal issues. That's the only way it stays alive. They need to go libertarian on many social issues. Though I may be personally pro-life, I don't believe you can legislate morality. Though I don't personally use drugs, I don't think drug use should be treated as a crime (it should be treated as a medical issue since it's an addiction). I think the government should get completely out of marriage and call all unions civil unions for the sake of contracts. Leave the word marriage to the churches, temples, etc. On the fiscal side, we need candidates that are willing to sacrifice their own political futures to save us from fiscal destruction. They need to be able to make hard choices, even when those choices won't win them friends or votes.

I have hope for 2016 and I'm going to continue to do what I can to pull the party in my direction, within my state.

I, a conservative, replaced into enthusiastic about an self sustaining conservative beating the GOP. Now... no longer a lot :( on the different hand i think a lot extra ideal about the route of the rustic. i myself opt to hug a number of you Dems and exhibit sense sorry about and enable's get alongside. (for authentic)

I hope we have a REAL civil war where we can have bring all of those accountable to their knees. I think ALL anti-obama states should receed from the nation and we should see who makes the most money.

Maybe it's time to have more than just two political parties.

No, that would be useless. What I see is Democrats splitting into two camps, the left as we know it and the far left, the true Socialists.

Yup its gonna be racist, extremist, selfish vs democrats

Who cares what they do.
