Man, am I ever so sick and tired of this monumental GOP hyporcrisy! They talk about Obama scrambling around in the Ebola crisis - well don't block him from appointing a Surgeon General! And Obamacare was anything BUT government overreach! The GOP is, in so many ways, like a terminally ill party that needs massive blood transfusions (of cold corporate and billionaire cash) and artificial life support just so they can keep on going. Without having the rules of the game rigged in their favor, and the political playing field tilted so far in their favor that it looks like a sheer drop off, they wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance. Even all the Koch and superPAC money isn't enough to help them, that's why they have to get their accomplice thugs on the Supreme Court to ram through a lot of last minute voter suppression measures. Really, the US is the only nation on earth where a party like the GOP even stands a ghost of a chance in the 21st century. Like the old saying goes, nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, sad to say. In any other politically sane country that has a democracy, the GOP wouldn't stand a chance no matter how much the game was rigged in their favor. This could very well be the death throes of a dying party when they see the emerging voter demographics - young, ethnic, etc... turn terminally against them. Perhaps their greatest act of political hypocrisy is expecting that the political system change to accommodate them, instead of THEM changing to attract and appeal to the new voter demographics.
