The GOP has not been hijacked by the radical right. If anything they have been hijacked by too many promoting or consenting to a leftist socialist agenda. And that is why they became alienated from their base and lost their majority in 2006 and took another drubbing in 2008. Those center right Americans that were their base were thoroughly disgusted with them and refused to support them.
The Tea Partiers and similar movements are doing their damndest to drag them back to the right and may in fact be successful in doing so. If they can, look for a GOP landslide in November and again in 2012. But if the GOP then again fails to govern as they campaign, I think they will be toast and will disappear as a major American poltical party.
Somehow, however, we have to keep this country from sliding into a socialist abyss to the point that it loses all the qualities that have made it the great nation that it is.
This country is no where near any socialist agenda and Obama is no socialist. Republicans, who have been the dominate power for 30 years have almost destroyed America. The middle class is becoming extinct, and if current Republicans ever regain power, they will finish the job. You right wingers and your far right wing bullshit are the byproducts of propaganda pollution. Today, we are living in the smoking ruins of a failed revolution...the Reagan revolution.
Trickle down never happened...the wealth disparity today is identical to 1928...
Every lesson learned during the Great Depression and piece of legislation enacted to prevent that catastrophic event from happening again were basically removed, bypassed or not enforced by Republicans...
Radicals believe somehow human nature will evolve if they get their agenda enacted...it DOESN'T...
The SAME reasons we need regulations today existed in 1928
The SAME reasons we need unions today existed in 1928
The Robber Barons had their day, we don't need to give them a second chance...
I think you need to ask for a refund from whatever poli-sci course taught you this stuff.
I think you need to educate yourself...you've failed miserably so far... you have the right to your own opinion, but not your own facts...
