The Sinking Ship

A new Gallup poll finds that the Republican Party is losing membership from nearly every major demographic group. No surprise that the declines among the young, educated, middle class, and non-religious groups are 9-10% down from 2001. But even among seniors, whites, southerners, and those with conservative ideologies, the membership is down. The only group that stayed the same were those who described themselves as attending church weekly. Not one major demographic group showed an increase.

More and more, the Republican Party is looking like the Christian Conservative Party. The True Believer Party. They are the last remnants of those who did not accept Lord Obama (wink) as the country's savior, eschewing the liberal political Rapture in favor of eternity in the political minority.
