Not Your Grand Daddy's Republican Party.

[AVG-JOE]

Irony:

America is not a democracy. We are a republic. A political decision that was made by We, The People, in the 1860's.

150 years ago The Republican Political Party was born. It grew strong prosecuting a civil war with American blood to ensure that minorities in both thought and DNA would be protected from mob democracy on a national level.

It took 100 years to get the paperwork done, but that's not the ironic part.

Right wingers are STILL pissed off that Obama beat their sorry arses TWICE?
Get over it (although, if he could run, Obama could beat you for a third time.)

America is not a democracy. We are a republic.

something i learned in a Conservative grade school.., yet when liberfools speak they nearly always refer to our country and our political system as a demonocracy!!

 

[AVG-JOE]

In the way freedom of thought is protected, or in the way freedom of body is protected?

The republican party exists to dictate national policy and fuck the states. That's a fact.

A fact not lost on groups like The NRA and those who would restrict behaviors and industries that are contrary to some moral code or another.

Beyond the ability to produce proof of citizenship, The United States Constitution does not define who or what an American is.

As more and more subgroups based on race and lifestyle come out of the closet and use The US Constitution to claim their birth-right slice of The American Pie, we take baby steps to the stars.

White Christians losing their grip on America is a good thing. The fact that they are using The Republican Political Party and Gerrymandering as the major tools of their final efforts to hang on is logical in hindsight and Donald Trump's campaign may just end that little side-bar of extremism.

Nowhen to go but forward, eh Kids?

What are you trying to say? How is the NRA trying to restrict behaviors that are contrary to moral code? The NRA supports the Second Amendment which leads credence to the image I posted?

The republican understanding of dictating from Washington D.C. is also a fact not lost on those who profit from The Military Industrial Complex that our public budget has become.

Check the bold blue above. The NRA uses the republican party to promote limiting restrictions on gun rights at the national level and the anti-abortion and anti-gay crowds use the republican party to promote their political desire for national restrictions on that industry and on that lifestyle.

It's a good thing for republicans and The NRA that most God-fearing pro-lifers who hate gays love guns. ​

How does the democrat party use....oh say Planned Parenthood or Gay rights groups or even the NAACP to promote their political desires? You're squawking about the GOP and ignoring (pun intended) the elephant in the room. Both sides have their agenda, that is politics in America

What?

If you are a defense contractor vying for part of that fat 21% with limited lobbying resources, you spend more on republicans.


Same holds true if you are a health-care contractor vying for part of the fat 28% that makes up the Medical Industrial Complex that our public budget has become. You concentrate your lobbying dollars on republicans.

For lots of reasons, not just because part of the republican charter is to control things from D.C.

You honestly don't think the democrats don't want to control things from D.C.? Really?

The Democratic party doesn't use Planned Parenthood, et al., Planned Parenthood, et al. uses The Democratic Party.

The parties are tools and the Monkeys, both individual and organized, who wield them are the powerful. The degree of power is directly related to how successfully the tools available are used, and proficiency in multiple tools is encouraged.

You're making excuses now. PP and the Democrats are joined at the hip. Have the mental fortitude to at least be honest when confronted with facts

To address the qst. on the thread's title.....Ask yourself if today's GOPers would accept into their shrinking tent folks like, Rockefeller, Javitz, Lindsay, et al....

Shrinking tent? Shall I remind you they control the House and Senate and most governorships? Their leading candidate is in almost a virtual tie with the dem's leading candidate for the 2016 election?

PP...regardless of how you spin it.....is a health provider for poor women.....The NRA, conversely, is basically an arm for the weapons manufacturers to promote MORE guns whose purpose is killing.
