What Will Happen to the Republican Party?

Every day in these last days before the election, I see the numbers behind the Republican Party decreasing.  I am not a Democrat and lean to the Libertarian agenda but like seeing an dog dying of old age, I still want to wrap my arms around the GOP and hold tight until the heart beat stops.

Being a Republican at this time is not fashionable and requires a Christian background that I have not had for 50 years.  I saw a terrible and wicked campaign against Senator Goldwater in 1964 that forever made me afraid of the Democratic Party.  They were the lowest of the low and they won! 

Here we are in 2008 and it is the Republican Party who is campaigning with lies and terrorist threats against the Senator from Illinois Barak Obama.  If I thought the Democrats were rotten, they cannot hold a candle to the Republicans against an African American Senator.  

The GOP is so unpopular that few share my sorrow; I can’t blame them.  I’m annoyed that I had to write in Congressman Ron Paul’s name, as Senator McCain represents to me the horror of the GOP.  He insults me with his choice of Vice President as she is such an airhead who would not interest me as a friend let alone next in line for the White House.    I’ve lived with actors all my life and she is not very good with her dialog. 

Where does the RNC go from here?  Do we try and reform it?  Do we politely ask them to remove the Religious Right and return to the limited government and Individual freedoms again?  Do we start over, change the name, keep the membership names and sell the old platform as a new one? 

What we must not do is allow the Neoconservatives to hold the party hostage! 

Any thoughts on this?
