The fire and brimstone rhetoric about fire arms and the Second Amendment drive people in droves from the GOP. .

I'd like to see some empirical evidence of this, because I find it hard to believe it is even a relevant issue. Maybe just a press site to the last time a public official or major party candidate for office caused a public controversy because of "fire and brimstone rhetoric about the Second Amendment".

Right now Republicans are popping corks all over the country because of the new Republican majority. However, from my point of view, the most liberal man in the Senate almost got elected President.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. He didn't almost do anything. He lost. And he lost by 3.5M votes to an otherwise weak and polarizing candidate who lost the popular vote 4 years ago.

The Schiavo, Gun and God ranting ain't helping matters.

To say that, diminishes the fact that those rants reflect that there are legitimate issues related to all three of those topics that tens of millions of Americans, who actually vote, care about. IMHO, the dems are dooming themselves because they choose to characterize all pro-life religious people as nuts. I think it would be a mistake if the Republican party did that too. And I am not christian conversative, its just a compromise to avoid socialism on the economic side.
