RIP to the Republican Party

[playtime]

the "GOP" that is today's is not the same party of Goldwater. or even Ford. Trump has become their Frankenstein.

When the GOP decided to betray the interests of their voters, they created this "Frankenstein". Like I said, some people have been driven to the point where they are willing to sacrifice their values to illicit change. Nothing else has worked for them thus far.

Until the parties start thinking about the will of the people, they will continue to get people like Trump, or even Sanders.

In a nutshell, this is what happens when the traditional values people hold dear die and the corpses that are those values are amalgamated into the Frankensteins you see today running for president. There are those who simply just don't react well to being ignored or betrayed.

This begs the question: how did we get to this point? What got us here? Who is responsible?

right now, there is a chasm between how the democrats & the 'republicans' are running their campaigns. I agree that trump is the mutant child between social & fiscal conservatives letting their party go straight to hell.

btw- I am an independent & have voted for both parties. but that was when the "GOP' WAS the GOP. there is a total freak show going on the right side of the aisle & there is no denying it.

since you are a bern supporter, plz take time to click the link in my sig line.

might want to revamp your idea of a freak show after.

the irony

the dnc is run by a person that can't tell the difference between a dem and a socialist and it's top runner for the nom can't either.

and in the meantime, not a single liberal is in the race.

The dnc died and no one noticed.

Conservatives you've been trained by the likes of Dimbaugh that there is an equal and opposite everything in all of life.
Sorry, there isn't. They train you to think like that so you will couch every single argement as 'us vs them'. That way you will never side with 'them' just because they are 'them'. See how easy that works.

This is the Republican's moment alone. The Democrat party is in no disarray. It has people that lean this way or that as all political parties have, but it isn't about to become a mushroom cloud.

And I know for conservatives, who are deathly afraid of standing on un-firm ground to begin with, this is very disconcerting to finally admit. But it's real.

Embrace the horror.

whats the difference between a dem and a socialist?

why do you not have a liberal running for Pres? You have a far left prog and a socialist. hint, since ones a socialist, he should be running in another party all together.

Liberal and Democrat are not synonymous. Same as Conservative and Republican.

I love when someone makes a post critical of 1 political party. The immediate response is "oh yeah, the other party sucks nah nah na boo boo." Its the same old bias towards fairness game we see constantly.

What happened is that the GoP moved so far to the right that it ended up dragging the Democratic party to the center. Hilary is a Bluedawg democrat corporate welfare warhawk.

if she were to debate Donald Trump they would spend 90% of the time agreeing with each other.

Now of course I am going to get flamed by liberals and conservatives alike for this post but I don't care. lets take barack Obama, the champion of liberalism in America. When he was running for president ALL we heard from the corporate media was how he is a pacifist socialist muslim Kenyan who will redistribute wealth and tax us to death.

what did Obama do as president>?

1. expanded the Drone War program that bush started
2. reauthorized the Patriot Act.
3. Regime change in Lybia.
4. sold weapons to rebels in the middle east

warhawk just like the defense contractors and GoP wanted.

1. Extended Bush tax cuts for the rich.
2. After the bush tax cuts ended he returned us to Clinton tax rates.
3. Bailed out corporate America. redistributed wealth to the top 1%

So if Obama is a socialist he is sending the money the wrong direction.

the list goes on and on I could do this all day. Obama ran to the right so fast after he won the election I would almost call if the 1st republican black president.

Bernie Sanders is a true democrat, but the democratic party has moved so far right and just become a moderate extension of the republican party that he isn't even welcome in the party. The corporate media and the establishment hate him.

You are amazingly stupid.

Trump is winning the Republican nomination because the only remotely Conservative faction of a previously all right wing country is losing their influence and Democrats are running to the Republican Party in droves due to blatant fascist shit that many of the neo-liberals are saying every day. Clinton is both placating to the far right lunatics of tumblr and Twitter and the far left lunatics of TheNation because the Democrats are just a clusterfuck of insanity that encompasses all of the fringe elements together in a melting pot.

The reason I left the Republican party is exactly because of what's going on now. It is not the party I thought I was joining in 2008. The death of the Republican party was due to internal intolerance, or people not being able to tolerate even one minor difference in opinion. Eventually it began to tear itself apart. It was due to men calling themselves "real conservatives" and doing the exact opposite after they were elected. They all played on the principles of their electorate and abjectly betrayed them. It was due to the more extreme element of the party "killing off" per se, all the moderates in the party.

The anger is too great, being conventional is outdated. "Conservatism", as it was, died last night and the "establishment" has only itself to blame. It was a long time coming. If you betray the will of your constituents too many times, they will willingly set aside their principles to destroy you.

the "GOP" that is today's is not the same party of Goldwater. or even Ford. Trump has become their Frankenstein.

When the GOP decided to betray the interests of their voters, they created this "Frankenstein". Like I said, some people have been driven to the point where they are willing to sacrifice their values to illicit change. Nothing else has worked for them thus far.

uh-huh

you have a far left whack and a socialist running

the gop had a bunch of moderates, social conservatives and whatever trump is

You're hilarious. No matter how many times you say it, Liberals and Democrats are not synonymous. So no, the party is not dead just because you think neither of the top two contenders are Liberal.

Even worse for your dementia .... I never said there is a party with any influence to the right of the GOP. I said Cruz is more to the right than Sanders is to the left.

 

[RollingThunder]

You know, you're right, for probably the first time in your sad delusional life, TwoThumbsUpYourButt.

The American Nazi Party does not have much influence.....except on the likes of you and all the other rightwingnut racists nominally in the GOP......but it is arguable however whether the Nazi Party is really "to the right of the gop".

This one kind of nails the main reason the Republican Party is dying.

That cartoon hits the bullseye. Right after the 2012 election the Republican party had a couple months of 'we have to become inclusive, we have to change'. Then the hard right tea baggers had their last great hoorah in 2014 and the GOP mistakenly thought the gains then meant they were wrong all along, they didn't need to become inclusive.

And now the time bomb they were about to defuse under their butts in 2012 is about to go off and it's too late to defuse it.
