Republican identification peaked at 34% in 2004, the year George W. Bush won a second term in office. Since then, it has fallen nine percentage points, with most of that decline coming during Bush's troubled second term. When he left office, Republican identification was down to 28%. It has declined or stagnated since then, improving only slightly to 29% in 2010, the year Republicans "shellacked" Democrats in the midterm elections. Not since 1983, when Gallup was still conducting interviews face to face, has a lower percentage of Americans, 24%, identified as Republicans than is the case now.

i think that's part of it, but not all of it. it's also explained by santorum, palin, romney, perry, mcconnell, boehner...and the insistence they want small govt and no regulations-until it comes to SEX (and lady parts).

Must agree as a former Conservative Republican now simply a minority Conservative seeking someone, anyone to provide conservative secular representation.

I'll let the ladies in on a little secret. If you can't afford $30 dollars a month for BC or a one dollar condom the man/men you're doing will gladly chip in/cover the expense. If not they're not worth it anyway.
