Republican Party has evolved into something very dark

If the demographic trend is to be trusted, Republican party of today would not be able to survive in 10-15 years (white vote alone).

 

They are not dark a alll. 90% or so of Romney voters are gonna be white.

 

Not all of them, but the ones that are uneducated , bible thumping savages.

 

There is a reason why scales are often used to depict democracy. Sometimes scales tip one way or the other, but eventually is goes back the other direction. Eventually people will figure out one way doesn't work and swing back the other direction.

I feel you. I voted for Perot twice because of the deficit, then Gore because I thought Bush was stupid, then Kerry because I thought Bush was stupid, then Obama because McCain was stupid to pick Palin as a running mate. Every time I try to vote republican in recent years, the party brings stupidity into the equation and I have to vote the other way. Reagan and Bush Sr. would be considered a moderate these days and would never get nominated. Obama has essentially been a 90's republican the last 4 years, and the GOP keeps calling him a commie.

This is how I feel about the GOP these days because they really market to the lowest common denominator.

 

For some of the conservatives on this BBS, I can agree to disagree. With Commodore and napalm_black being two of them. And then there are those that I just am completely baffled with their views.

I know a lot of people will disagree but tallanovar is actually someone I'm not baffled with either. I can kind of understand where he is coming from in terms of his political views.

And then there are guys like BigTexxx, Basso, and Esteban that just shout out the party line as loud as they can in hopes of convincing everyone that they are not vacuous propaganda machines of the GOP.

 

I'm going to be honest. While I consider myself a Republican ( my actual ideology, however, is another matter of debate), there's a lot about the radicals that annoy me, as I've made clear.

But it doesn't compare to sanctimonious self-righteous leftists who can't accept the idea that maybe Americans aren't interested in what they're offering and whine "corporate money" in a manner which reminds me of the GARM after a controversial foul call. Especially so since despite this massive influx of corporate money, the polls between Obama and Romney have not really changed and I'll be the first to admit that Romney has been at a disadvantage. If anything, Romney has tacked more to the left in the general election as evidenced by his recent comments on health care.

 

Furthermore, Republicans don't believe in the Evolutions.

Maybe the science kind, but not the monkey kind!

 

I think the main hope to avoid this are 1) the gradual rejection of trickle down despite libertarian/market fundie talking points as more and more money flows to the 1% and the 99% suffer more.. 2) the rise of liberal media to cut through the previously nearly unchallenged propaganda of the right.

Previously you had large parts of the electorate fed Fox proganda with only the mainstream media with their desperation to appear balanced even if one side had no evidence or just flat out lied. For example "on the one hand you have some scientists who believe in man made global warming and some others who don't" Of course no need to mentionn that it was 99 believing and roughly one percent who didn't with half of those funded by oil interests with an obvious economic conflict of interest.

On the pessimistic side with such tremedous money it is always easy to invent new distractions to replace old one like gays, mosques at ground zero etc. that go stale.

 

It's low quality, low information threads like this that are ruining the D&D. Libs, police your own.

 

Americans disagree. Remember the 2010 election.

 

No need. As soon as Barack takes term 2 and you go back into hiding we'll only have the troll cage left and the circle jerk will continue with SamFisher supplying Jergens for all.

has anybody ever witnessed such a complete meltdown as Sweet Lou has been through over the past few weeks?

tap the brakes son -- sounds like there are bigger problems in your life that need to be addressed

 

Yes, ever since the presidential race heated up, 3 or 4 posters here have been extreme, desperate posts, which fall inside some alternate reality. Its been sad to watch.

I worry about thier emotional well being after Obama is re-elected. After all, how could such an extreme left wing socialist, muslim, dog eating, technology ignorant, non experienced Obama get re-elected with such ease?

 

He obviously controls your emotions and dominates your thoughts judging from your SweetLou Obsession.

 

I am going to post this here as it seems more fitting. I guess I shouldn't be surprised the blatant hypocrisy of the Republicans condemning the President over a foreign crisis, even before all the facts are known, when during the GW Bush presidency they were blasting those who questioned the Iraq strategy unpatriotic.
