The Republican strategy. LOL.. They're going the way of the Wigs. Seriously. I think it's time to start asking ourselves who will replace them.

1. Funny thing. I heard the knuckledraggers saying the same thing about the Dems in 2000.

2. NEVER? Never might be shorter than you think.

I really doubt it, the public which votes is really stupid and the republicans are really good at lying and cheating their way into office if voting does not work for them.

3. Never is a long, long time. Yes, extinction IS forever; but the GOP, though endangered, ...

is not yet extinct.

4. The may in time but...

these people are so crazy and they really think that they and only they should be running this country when essentially they have ran it for more than 20 years. They are exploding inside and filled with so much hate and their hate isn't even justified.

When they try to compare us to them and how we reacted to Bush there is no comparison. Bush,Cheney and their cronies have done so much evil that I can't even count them all. I can remember many things over the years that these people have done that has affected so many people and it seems that their base doesn't get it and I don't see how. During the months that Obama was waiting for the inaguration.


I watched and waited to see what the media would say or do and they said nothing as Bush and Cheney basically hid in the whitehouse. I think that a lot of people have not been involved in politics and really began to pay attention to what was really going on in this country as they began to sit at home after losing their jobs but, the Bushies I don't know what in the hell is wrong with them.

Repubs can't think for themselves they take all of their talking points from fox. As you watch them come on these shows they all say the same thing in the same way. Each day they show up on these shows and began trying out their newest slogan. Some people I think don't really understand how politics work but we all are getting some new lessons on who is who on both sides,and that is why I watch very closely because I don't put anything past these people remember 2000...

5. "What is the point of having a Republican Party?" indeed

Uh, ok. Lets turn over management of the wealthiest and most powerful country on earth to these clowns and tell them to "keep it small guys, 'k? Let's not do much with it because small government is best."

Good luck with that.

6. Bullshit...if nothing is done about electronic voting machines, the republicans will exploit it....

Because NOTHING still hasn't really been done in the years the Dems have gotten back the Congress, most are still using the same machines.

We still have the bullshit 2002 republican written Help America Vote Act (HAVA)....republican Secretary of States are still purging minorities and Dem voters, et al....

And republicans are still stealing and manipulating votes....and the diabolical republican slime will find a way to do it electronically again on a mass scale if we just fuck off and do NOTHING about it!!

8. Exactly . .. and these machines go back to the late 1960's . . . so a lot to question--!!!!

[defendandprotect]

7. The GOP isn't "conservative" . . . it's neo-con. Conservative can actually make sense . . .

like in regard to our planet and Global Warming.

The insanity that has been going on with the Repugs has to do with greed/$$$ and
serving their capitalist masters - whose main interest in is in harvesting slave
labor. Exploitation of all is what capitalism is about.

And, when are we going to hear something about re-regulating corrupt capitalism?
After we've bailed everyone out -- or never?
Unregulated capitalism is merely organized crime.

9. pretty good

but it's much more than just George Bush. They've exposed themselves to what they've been all along..Corporate shills. Some dems are too but not the entire party. I can only think of one real conservative and that's Paul. The neocons took the party so far right that I don't think that branch is going to hold. The exposure of the hypocritical religious right has been liberating. If they actually run Palin it will be the nail in the coffin. The ones left in the GOP remind me of the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" If we go back to sleep they'll be there.

12. The amizing thing that the popularity of Ron Paul was diminished

and thrown away by the Repubican, Corporate controlled Republican face of Dubya et al.

As a Democrat, I was amazed at the clarity and basic values that Ron Paul spoke about during his campaign, as it reminded me of a more moderate, and ethical republican party of the past. Ones that looked at facts, and saw that either party can be corrupted by monied interests.

The complete disavowment of Ron Paul during the Republican primaries was frankly quite shocking to me, and I assumed it was only due to the fact that Ron Paul is not afraid to bash the established control of the federal reserve and the money changers. His dismissal was illimunating to say the least.

Recently however, it looks like Ron Paul has succeumbed to exhaustion, as his message and performance in Congress seems too spread out to actully do anything. Although he has the ability to expose the current economic game playing effectively, when he recently questions CEO's and the Fed on the current debacle, he covered so many topics that the questions became lost in a see of homilie's from his interpretaion of world events, which allowed the person being asked the question to be able to avoid it a thousand different ways.

I think Ron Paul is finished. He is kind of like the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican party, only older, and getting senile.

10. The GOP is spliting apart ... GOOD!!!

[GreenTea]

11. That's what Dems said after Goldwater 1964, After Nixon/Ford 1976 and

some even said it after Clinton in 1992....

There are too many fucking moderates who will actually vote for a republican if the media makes that republican into a legitimate caring candidate, (just look at how they did it with the fascist Reagan).

If people just simply voted party ideology (and many don't even know what the fuck that means) instead of the candidates (personality, media hype, lies, war-chest, et al...) republicans would then never get elected.

However, people go back & forth, are easily swayed and don't vote worker ideology...hence, the republicans always get their foot back in the door with false promises to workers and retirees on Social Security (SS a working liberal democratic government program republicans despise)!

People are so weak, uninformed & gullible, history always repeats itself!!
