Nobody gives a phukk about GDP anymore...
What they
DO care about is the quality of their own lives... phukk the coupon-clippers and absentee landlords and Corporatists and other bloodsuckers.
And their minions.
The way to sustained political success is to
get on the side of the Common Man, to
convince him you're on his side, and to
stay on his side.
In other words: to
out-Democrat the Democrats.
Given the Democrats own disarray and corruption, that should not be all that difficult.
Trouble is, the Retards on the Right don't "get it", any more than the Retards on the Left.
Once upon a time, the Republican Party was the Grand Old Party... the party of the Common Man... before they sold out to the Corporatists in the 1910s and 1920s.
For a century now, it's been the party of the minions and vote-whores of the Corporatists... consummate liars who will say anything, to obtain or hold onto political power.
Which, in turn, results in periodic and spasmodic orgies of Republican tax-cuts and other breaks for The Rich, until the Common Man is disillusioned again and kicks them out.
Should new GOP leadership emerge, that plays upon similar weaknesses within the Democratic Party, and ejects the Corporatists, they can carry the day for decades to come.
But they won't... because they're so deeply and profoundly "bought" by the Corporatists that they could not divorce Corporate America even if they wanted to.
And, with that much Corporate Money slipped to them under the table, they're content to remain "bought"... the whores.
