My ideal new party would be moderate to centrist on social values, would be absolutely against any further interference of religion in state affairs, and would focus on the original GOP ideal of less spending, less taxes. And frankly, the Christian right can go do whatever they want to with themselves.

I answer your question with a question.
Is it worth it to hand the country over to the Dems (essentially) for a decade or more if we come out with a stronger, better
country? And to add to that, if that is the case and happens would you still be dead set against the Dems just because they didn't do things the way you wanted them done going in?
JiMG is an extreme example of this. It doesn't matter if/how much the country improves under Obama, it wasn't done his way so it still sucks. He not only won't give the guy a chance, he is ready to say it is the worst day in our history as a country. That is a stance I can't understand. I just wonder how many people who label themselves as strictly Dems/Reps are pretty much the same (though not as extreme and angry about it as Jon)? I have always felt it is most, at least for the core of those parties.
