Time Of Death: Oct. 3, 2008
(By Randall Hoven, American Thinker) - The death of the Republican Party has an exact date: October 3, 2008. The day John McCain lost his bid for President also has an exact date: October 1, 2008. These dates are when the coroner officially declared death; the coma started much earlier: March 27, 2002.
October 3, 2008 is, of course, when the $trillion bailout was passed by the House and signed into law by President Bush. October 1 was when John McCain voted for the bailout in the Senate, and went on to urge House Republicans to vote in favor of it. March 27, 2002 was when President Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law. (Ironically, Feingold voted against the bailout, making him more Republican than McCain.)

I would agree with the date on which McCain lost the election, but the Republican Party has been dead for quite a while longer than a month. I think I would peg the death of the GOP as some time during the summer of 2000, when George Bush clinched the GOP nomination for President. You could actually say that it contracted a fatal disease at that time, but didn't actually die until the following summer when Bush and the GOP-controlled Congress started spending money like crack whores.
