....To the dismay of the conservative movement, (click here) on virtually every burning issue that preoccupies the right, the country has moved steadily leftward. Election Day exit polling found, by a margin of 49 to 46, that a plurality of voters supported same-sex marriage. The same survey found that 59 percent of voters believe abortion should be legal in all (29 percent) or most (30 percent) cases, while only 36 percent believe it should be illegal in most (23 percent) or all (13 percent) cases....
The demographics of the country have been changing. The Democratic Party is the only place that is reflected. There may be some political third parties that recognize some of these changes, but, none have embraced without pre-condition the entire changing face of America.
It is time the Republicans get out of the way of the country and respond to its challenges.
