Climate change is real, and we're not just talking about the planet. Republicans are disappearing amid a rising wave of change. Read this week's Time magazine, and listen to what Colin Powell is saying. Is the Party Over?

i'll have to read this.

If Time did it, it's written at the 5th grade level and is about as relevant to reality today.

I remember seeing the same message after Watergate/Nixon and the same during Clinton/92/96 elections. They are trying to sell magazines but no few bother with them anymore.

I think we will see another party rise from the ashes. I don't think it will be an extreme right party but they will be right of the middle. Still conservative but not fanatical in their extremes. Let's just say I don't see Sarah Palin in this party.

Actually, if you look at the numbers, the Democrats have lost as many people as the Republicans have. They've become independents. :)

If your only news source is Fox news, you do yourself a grave disservice. Follow the link and you'll see Time has an analysis from the left and the right, Charles.

Only 21 percent of people in a recent Washington Post/ABC survey identified themselves as republicans, down from 25 percent in a late March poll and at the lowest ebb in this poll since the fall of 1983.

Independents are leaning more to the left every day, Marilyn.

Then why didn't the Independents win this last election?
Prima Donna May 11, 2009, 5:16pm EDT
A majority of Independents supported Barack Obama.

Opinions are as varied as to where you read them. Politicians don''t read.

The Republican Party have joined the ranks of the following Political Parties. They are no longer relevant.

* American Party (1969)
* America First Party (2002)
* Boston Tea Party (2006)
* Independence Party of America (2007)
* Jefferson Republican Party (2006)
* Moderate Party (2006)
* Marijuana Party (2002)
* Party for Socialism and Liberation (2004)
* Peace and Freedom Party (1967) - active primarily in California
* Prohibition Party (1867)
* Reform Party of the United States of America (1995) - currently divided into two factions both using the name of the "Reform Party"
* Socialist Equality Party (2008)
* Socialist Party USA (1973)
* Socialist Workers Party (1938)
* Unity Party of America (2004)
* Workers World Party (1959)
* Working Families Party (1998)

They are a shell of themselves. They bring absolutely nothing to the table. They are now labeled as the "Just Say No" and "I Hope He Fails" Party. They've lost the House, Senate and the White House.

Enough said.
