The Fall of the Republican Party

[Replies: 64]
President Barack Obama has long recognized the poor tactics used by the people associated with Fox News. They are incapable of reporting accurately and fairly on anything associated with the current administration. The GOP of today does not represent what a humane person should possess.

I predict the abrupt fall of the republican party and the failure of almost any candidate they elect to run.

I can't wait Jimbo.

I'm sure it varies from different outlets, but everyone at Fox News has to sign a confidentiality report that prohibits them from discussing their talking points memos, all the way to behind the scenes sodomy practices that all employees have to go through...

The second part may not be relevant, but probably accurate.

I have been encouraged by a couple of reasonable conservatives. The article quotes Dr. Bill Frist and Lindsey Graham Cracker.

Lindsey - Earlier in the month, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the birthers "crazy" and told them to "knock [the] crap off." This past week, the South Carolina Republican was shouted down by town hall protesters for his position on climate change legislation.
"We're not going to be the party of angry white guys," Graham responded. "If you don't like it, you can leave."

Graham may be the one leaving, but I admire the stand against the extremism. It's mighty white of them.

While Frist has said he is not seeking elected office, his position on fiscal prudence and strong support for healthcare reform, is a model position for conservatives seeking to garner support from independents.

what ever you might think of recent polling it's easy to tell the GOP leadership is not in touch with ordinary americans since the reagan years.


first of all nick naming an economic policy "trickle down", like some rich mother fucker is taking a piss on working people, is pretty fucking insulting. then the constant adopting of policy that fucks working people means the GOP is listening to their corporate sponsors more than ordinary americans. and what has really "trickled down" is the vitriol, abuse and corruption. the very idealism that says fuck working americans is now the mantra of teabaggers who are trying desperately to claim ownership of basic american constitutional values while usurping those values and making threats against their very own country. nucking futs!



and if there is any emphasis on polls, in the last presidential campaign Ron Paul polled at @ 8%. since that time Dr Paul has become some weird, sort of iconic, sort of safe harbor for fundamentalist right wingers in the GOP who are now falling back, away from the neo-liberal corporatist ways of bush/cheney, thinking they have firm ground to stand upon while calling the President a socialist, a communist, a nazi and of all things, a racist.

this sudden adoption of Paul by the teabaggers (who forget clashes between Paul and the other all white all male stable of "con"-didates, pundits like Hannity and GOP loyalists), is SOP for a desperate base.


and after token gestures by Lindsey (closet) Graham and Olympia (pompous) Snowe to act as if they are reaching out to the center, it looks as if those same right wing fundamentalists are finding discomfort in anything that resembles the bulk of the american voter rolls.


the GOP is in total disarray, without a safe enemy (choosing Obama over Osama as enemy), without a real agenda (except to smear any dem at any cost), and without any money, as they've all been taken to the cleaners by those same monstrous corporate interests they created during the reagan years.

While I agree that the American masses are rather faithless, noone said that after they run away from Dems, they'll turn to the mainstream GOP. Time will tell.

Not bloody likely.

The polls show the Republicans losing even more support than in 2008.

After the Healthcare bill passes and the economy starts to improve, who will want to turn back the clock?

Nobody but a few fools.

Are you fucking kidding? The mid-term elections will find Republicans winning back numerous seats in both the House and Senate. People don't care for the President, probably because he was a media creation, and those don't last. Grow up and smell the coffee, American politics is always shifting, and it is now shifting away from Obama. Call me whatever name you would like, the truth is the truth, my friend

Congress' public approval rating is so very low right now. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the next round of congressional elections.

The Republicans are fading into oblivion. The party is now only the drunk monkey hanging onto the neck of the monster of its own creation.

Of course, you probably believed Karl Rove when he talked about a permanent Republican majority, huh?? Sorry to disappoint, but you are a dying breed.

The fall you predict has already happened. Republicans in office are for the most part snuffling up their special interest dollars and have little interest in actually working. Their spokespuppet, Steele, is an asshat of the highest order. His only purpose is to present a black face to the public. That the Republican party thinks their voters are so stupid is both revolting and encouraging to me.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Dick Cheney has recently threatened to not cooperate with a Justice Department probe. Since we are in a time of war and they are trying to find out information of national security, would enhanced interrogation techniques be appropriate?
