Thread: Dead party walking

I must admit I agree with this article, especially its views on the Bush wannabe's, like I always thought from the start the frontrunners are fighting over who can be more like bush, praising him whenever they get the chance...

what the republicans dont understand, or the majority, is that no bush clone will win the white house, people are tired of the war and of hearing the same things they have heard the last 8 years...

that is why dem voters have doubled GOP voters in every primary...

The GOP candidates are a feeble group of Bush imitators tied to his disastrous war. And unless the surge turns into a miracle, even front-runner McCain won't beat a Democrat.

Jan. 22, 2008 | The GOP race is great fun to watch -- if you're a Democrat. The uninspiring candidates wander hat in hand from state to state, each being ritually humiliated in turn. If this process continues right up to the convention, the whole snooze-inducing crew may quit in disgust and the GOP will have to hold a mass séance to conjure up the spirit of Ronald Reagan.

Let's go down the list. This week's frontrunner, John McCain, is trying to create an aura of inevitability after his victory in South Carolina, but he is still viewed with deep suspicion by his party's true believers. The wailing and gnashing of teeth over McCain on conservative Web sites makes the Clinton-Obama dustup look like a love-in. Their posters can't forgive him for his stances on immigration, campaign finance and the environment, but what really drives them crazy is that he says things that they don't agree with. Sometimes he even commits the ultimate sin -- he sounds like a liberal!Who knew that the tough-guy supporters of the war on terror were so sensitive?

Then there's Mitt Romney. Romney is pushed by the party establishment, was endorsed by the National Review, looks like a million bucks, and is worth a lot more than a million bucks. And if they amend the Constitution so that a paper doll dressed up in a Reagan suit can run for office, he could be a serious threat.

Yea, and verily we come now to Mike Huckabee, who combines pre-Darwinian religiosity, a down-home demeanor, and a remarkable ignorance of the world. And whosoever believeth that the Huckster shall become president shall have eternal life in a cheap plot of prime swamp land in Florida.

Then there's Ron Paul, whose antiwar libertarian policies attract the most passionate followers of any GOP candidate. Unfortunately, the fact that those followers constitute only a tiny fraction of the party, and that mainstream Republicans would rather have consensual man-on-dog sex than vote for Paul, severely impair his chances.

Finally, there's Rudy Giuliani, of whom Joe Biden said, "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb and 9/11. " Giuliani could have been a contender, but he ran out of verbs and nouns early in the race and, despite federal matching words, could never form a coherent sentence thereafter.

(There is also alleged to be a GOP candidate named "Fred Thompson," but he has never been seen and is generally regarded as an Internet myth.)

As P.G. Wodehouse would say, it's a pretty C3 collection. But what really makes this group pathetic is that instead of trying to make up for their inadequacies and appeal to voters by taking new positions, these candidates are running on the same platform as George W. Bush -- the lamest of presidential ducks, whose policies have failed and whose approval ratings are abysmal.

With the exception of Paul, all of the GOP candidates agree with Bush on about just about everything. All of them vow to stay in Iraq until "victory" is won and to continue the "war on terror" indefinitely. All of them agree with him on taxation and healthcare. And they sing from the same pious songsheet on moral values. They are essentially running as new, improved clones of Bush.

This is not a winning strategy. ...

The Democrat ..as goverment...create one thing..Paper
The Democrats offer food stamps..heating vouchers..public work projects, open borders..and an endless cycle of orchestrated war ..to facilitate the circulation of government paper..
The values are "no one and nothing is illegal" ..truly Darwinian and touted as "morally superior" to any rational, philosophically based system of coherent behavior..
The Democrats..since Kennedy have run an economy fueled by War and Welfare. (Food Stamps, Government jobs and the War Machine are the backbone of Old New Deal)
The latest "bubble" is ...unchecked..rampant immigration...consumers..who ..fed on government checks from work projects, war contracts and welfare..are growing the economy..buliding houses to house the house builders..buying ..consuming foriegn imports with/from "service jobs" paid for by government paper...
OK..For Instance....Look at Food Stamps..Government Paper that is passed out to "cure poverty." The problem is...The government does not have any food..The government has to buy food..and the people receiving food stamps aren't producing anything ...not food to buy or a tangible asset to trade for that food...So..very soon..the people in the US will each have a coupon book of foodstamps..and it will buy nothing..It is worthless paper
Someone has to provide the food...and the US is importing food..and paying for that food with Paper..
Vote Democrat and get more..worthless paper..
The Country does not have four more years..to play these mindless, feel good games with social engineering and open borders..
Vote Clinton ..Obama and Eat Paper..

Why don't the Democrats run the traitor Kerry once more.

Importing Foriegn Nationals to purchase Foriegn Imports with government issued paper distributed by the government through government work projects, welfare and war contracts..The only thing the Americans have left to sell is land..
That is the current economy

Kerry vs Mccain, traitor vs traitor! I think that mccain is a worst traitor than kerry.

That was a very good article. Yes. The GOP has sabatoged itself by rejecting the only candidate who would restore the constitution and create real change. Dr Ron Paul. Too bad, so sad. Gop is a dead party. Even if McPain wins, GOP is dead because McPain is clearly a liberal communist.
