It's a shame.  Before they sold out to the corporatocracy the GOP was a decent party.  President Eisenhower was one of the best we've had.  (I have to admit, I don't really remember, that was before I was born, but I have the internet to study history with.)

The way the GOP are going now, they may just be fringing themselves out of existence.  Then perhaps a good third party with a better grasp of what the American people expect from their government can step in and take their place.  Me. I'd like to see a return of the Populist Party (http://www.jimhightower.com/).  They haven't really existed for a while, but the people who follow their ideals are still around.

Very good, Edison Boy.  I have probably voted more Republican than Democrat.  I once claimed I had the most powerful vote in America.  After the debacle with Nixon, you couldn't find anybody that voted for him, even though he had won by a landslide.  I admitted it and so claimed that since I was the only person that voted for him, and he won by a landslide, I must have the most powerful vote in American, maybe in the world.

The GOP was hi-jacked by the American Fascist Party, known as McCarthy's, John Bircher's, Reaganites, and Neo-cons.  All the same guys. At one time in the 90's, I was trying to figure out just who the GOP represented. I was disgusted with thei "family value" rants, like they had some sort of family value agenda that anybody that didn't follow them explicitly didn't have. 

In my eyes, the GOP is dead.  There is a need for a third, fourth, fifth, etc. party.  The only reason the two party system is so protected in America is it breeds corruption and corruption breeds wealth and wealth breeds power and power breeds corruption...  The reason there are so many independents is that both parties have mixed messages that are just too confusing.  The Health Reform bill is a good example.  We have a lot of groups within the Dem party that insist if they don't get their way, they won't vote for the final product.  As we are told in the Baha'i Faith, party politics is disunifying, it has become apparent enough so all of those that aren't aware of that particular Principle from Baha'u'llah, are now aware of its reality.
