10. There Does Need To Be A New Party, But...
I would prefer that instead of Democrats breaking off, the GOP would splinter into 2 factions. One would be for the fascists, pseudo-Christians, and war profiteers, and the other would be made up of Republicans that would at least be open to negotiating w/the other side of the aisle (people like Lincoln Chafee and Olympia Snowe come to mind). Compromises would still have to be made to pass legislation, but that's what democracy is supposed to be, plus the far-right would be marginalized into irrelevance.
