Hey that's not too bad. What's that, 40-50 years on Hansen's calendar?
Yeah, whatever.
One of these days you might, just might, have a smidgeon of an inkling of what science is about. Until then, you're just another mindless right-winger.

Sorry kid, but anyone who watches An Inconvenient Truth, looks at it's science advisor and says "That guy, he's a real scientist" must've learned almost everything he knew about science from Brian Fantana.

Can't you guys come up with anything newer than Al Gore smack?

Here's the right's science advisor:
That brings me to Al Gore’s book and movie of the same name: An Inconvenient Truth....The movie seems to me powerful and the book complements it, adding useful explanations. It is hard to predict how this unusual presentation will be received by the public; but Gore has put together a coherent account of a complex topic that Americans desperately need to understand. The story is scientifically accurate and yet should be understandable to the public, a public that is less and less drawn to science.
At some point, perhaps even before the earth is incinerated by the sun, libertarianism might matter.
The same could be said for the decline of the Republican party. Democrats are down from 2008 too. Republicans will just be forced to change to appeal to half the people. It's politics 101. That's a good thing. Democrats will never go unopposed. Independents are at a record 45%. Democrats are wishfully thinking this means we may become a one party system that Democrats rule.

More disgust at the GOP doesn't mean eventual Democratic rule.
The LP is, for all intents and purposes, completely irrelevant.

I have no interest in one party rule. I barely tolerate 2 party rule. I would much prefer at least a half dozen parties.
In lieu of that, I will happy watch the self destruction of the current extremist R party.
I live in a county that is 95% registered Democrats and there are never any Republicans on the county and city ballots.
That same 95% of registered Democrats will always without exception vote a straight Republican ticket for National Congressional and Presidential elections ....... go figure? I'm sure you can find this same scenario in many counties in Arkansas if that’s were you are from.

Agreed. Your graph shows the Republicans and Democrats are losing more independent thinkers. Just because the Republicans are losing more doesn't mean all the voters are going to do a 180 and vote for the party that opposes most of their values.
