DEL.ICIO.USMore ominous news for the GOP
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An irrelevant Republican Party does no one any good. It isn’t good for the Republicans, obviously, and over the long term it also isn’t good for the Democrats, who need an effective opposition to keep them in line.
Most of all, it isn’t good for America.
But take a look at the latest Gallup Poll findings:
PRINCETON, NJ — The Republican Party’s image has gone from bad to worse over the past month, as only 34 percent of Americans in a Nov. 13-16 Gallup Poll say they have a favorable view of the party, down from 40 percent in mid-October. The 61 percent now holding an unfavorable view of the GOP is the highest Gallup has recorded for that party since the measure was established in 1992.
Democrats, on the other hand, are viewed favorably by 55 percent of Americans. That’s a spread of more than 20 points between the parties, and it’s a margin that is proving durable. The last time the two parties had fairly equal favorability ratings was almost three years ago.
Among independents, 32 percent rate the GOP favorably, while 47 percent feel favorably toward the Democrats. And while 59 percent of Republicans say the solution to their party’s problem is to become more conservative, that sentiment is shared by only 35 percent of independents. Getting more conservative may make a lot of Republicans feel better about themselves, but it’s not going to bring in new supporters.
For a lot of people in Georgia, where the GOP is still dominant, those Gallup numbers may be hard to believe. It doesn’t jibe with what they see everyday. But when you account for the party’s continued strong standing in the South, its numbers in the rest of the country must really be low to produce national numbers this bad.

You reckon?
You think it might be because we ran a moderate for president?
That we have a compassionate conservative in the White House?
We run you liberals off from our party, then let’s see what happens.

Jay: Again with polls. And again with Gallup. Did Gallup even make the top ten during the recent election?
So again: A poll is nothing more than a tool for influence peddling.
And regarding this garbage about you wanting a revelant Republican Party: Your advice, your recommendations, if followed, will lead to irrevelancy.

I couldn’t care less if this hijacked version of the GOP tanks for years. Which is looking more and more likely.
After all, it took them forty years to go from just annoying, illegal and stupid to deadly, imperious and traitorous.
What other choice is there?
To continue to let these unindicted convicts control the government?
When they attract and run a new generation of Young Republicans who don’t give a tinker’s damn about that misguided moron Reagan or Newt the Nut, there may be some slight hope for them.
When they attract and run a new generation of combat veterans instead of these gutless chickenhawks they may regain some credibility among veterans.
When they tell the agents of intolerance and the mindless Christian base to quit shoving their god in everyone’s face, maybe the rational center will give them another try.
But where are they?
But the list of neo-con screw ups is endless though and the prospects are amazingly slim that they will make any significant improvements until the old guard dies off completely.
Is some arsenic in order for the GOP?

I had been a Republican all of my life, but I left them during Bush’s first term when the neo-cons took over and Bush’s people were all too eager to join them. Bush was either too incompetent or too stupid to resist, but rather joined them too. I supported and voted for Kerry in the hope of changing the direction that neo-cons were taking our country. Now my hope is that Obama will be able to accomplish this change, but the stakes are much higher now than in 2004.
I agree with almost everything you said, but I also agree with Jay that the complete demise of the Republican party would be bad for the country. One Party Rule always leads to excess as in “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

“There’s no point to debating …the lunatic fringe. Their rantings about Marxism, “islamofascism,” “unAmericanism,” “treason” and laissez faire economics are irrelevant to any serious political discussion in this country… Arguing with people who think Obama is a secret Muslim communist and the Earth is only 6000 years old is pointless. It’s like debating a small child or more accurately, a male labrador retriever. No matter what you say, he’ll continue to hump your leg, knowing with certainty that if he just humps long enough, your shoes will bear puppies. All you get is a sticky leg.”

I have written before that IMHO the great hope for America lies in the GOP, NOT the Democratic Party.
But in my entire adult lifetime, I have never seen an effective, reasonable, criminal-free Republican Party.
I came of age under that mean little pr!ck Nixon. Then began my civilian career under the BIG government, “trickle down your thigh” Reagan and now have endured eight years of the very worst administration in a hundred years or more.
Throw in McCarty before them and you’ll understand my hesitance to give them a break.

is it a bad thing for them to disappear? i don’t see it that way, particularly if they continue to ignore the will of the people as they have for so long. who needs that? perhaps a true libertarian party will rise out of the republican ashes and keep the dems in line. but for now, given the options, i’m happy with a one party system.

Yes, the Dems will go too far. Yes, the Repubs need to come back.
But the Repubs have got to get a grip on what they can really accomplish in tax cuts and cutting spending, fighting wars, running government, stoking an economy, health care, social security, contracting, international relations, torture, extraordinary rendition, war crimes courts, tax breaks for big oil and agro-business, bailouts for financial institutions, interference in women’s wombs, and so on.
I mean, is there anything they didn’t screw up?????.
Well, that is old school Repubs. The biggest obstacle to reform of that Party is the Evangelical Right, Moral Majority, Bible thumping “base.” The Repubs have to give them up.

Post at 1:51; Came of age under pr..k Nixon. Began civilian life under “trickle down thighs of Reagan. Endured 8 years of worst president (Bush II). See no voice of sanity in the party.
You did not vote for McCain. You did not mention Ford or Bush I. or Dole. Are those examples of republicans that you like?

Please then since we now see that ALL of you are vastly more intelligent than any of us people who have conservative values and political feelings. It is obvious by the numerous amount of times you tell us how much smarter you are than all of us. So if you would please be as kind as to tell us exactly what values and exact issues you all would like us to champion as the issues of the republican party.
Please be specific as you know how dumb we all are. How should we feel about taxes. What SHOULD our foreign policy be.
I mean after all, you all claim you do not want the GOP to go away, but as you have told us we are all stupid, racist, redneck, religious nut jobs, and sexist. Much too under-evolved to ever come up with ideas good enough to keep you guys honest.
Isn’t that the real shame you people understand how dishonest and corrupt some of your leaders are and know you must have the presence of a strong GOP to ensure that your snake oil salesmen do not mess up before they are able to change the world.
So please tell us what to do, so that you all avoid the abysmal failure that you know you all are capable of.

The failure of capitalist ideology in the mortgage crisis may be the end of the Grand Old Party. Greenspan admitted that he failed to rein in the gambling on mortgages because he thought the market would ‘self-regulate”. I have news. It DID self-regulate. Sometimes the results of self-regulation look like a die-off of fish. How many millions are under employed? How many union jobs were stripped and shipped to Asia? The value of the dollar is 1/2 what it was under Clinton. I could go on. It looks like the GOP doesnt really know what its doing. It ran a PONZI scheme. That’s where you pay off half the bettors with the incoming money from new bettors. Half the bettors think the game is legit. When the new bettors stop coming into the gambling casino, the game is over. So it goes. Let’s have universal health care with that humble pie. Only $75 billion for the first year? Swell. I’ll take that with fries and piece of the action on the banks we are keeping afloat, thanks. Socialism, yummm. Didja see where GM is selling its private jets today? They got the message!! LOL!!

Did you miss the Irangate trial of Ollie North? Bush was complicit in treason. The only reason he didnt go to the slammer at least is that the people who could testify were CIA agents still in the field. PS> the saleman who made the deal that sold US missiles to the Ayotallah, went to jail. He made his deal before Bush took office. Bush gained office by influencing the election with treason. His argument against Carter was that Carter could not negotiate the release of the hostages. That was impossible, because BUSH & the CIA had bribed the Iranians to keep them hostage until Bush took office. Later, the profit from the ilegal sale of the missiles was used to buy arms for the “contras’ in Nicaragua. Ask Ollie where he got the money. I guess you slept thru the news for a year there. Honor and “Bush I” do not belong in the same sentence.

While all you liberal sheople keep yammerin’ about the GOP demise, it ain’t hard to see “ol’ Jes Wordts” failure to launch. First, he asked President Bush to halp bail out the Big Three, then he was taking a “hands off” approach, now, after a true patriot and intellect, Mitt Romney, wrote a widely acclaimed article that advocated a Big Three bankruptcy rather than bailout, “Ol’ Jes Wordts” is now a working on a prepack. Tell you, “Ol Jes Wordts” just doesn’t have the temperment or stones to make a decision unless he already knows how it will turn out. “Ol’ Jes Wordts” puts his left foot in, “Ol’ Jes Wordts” pulls his left foot out, then then he puts his left foot in and shakes it all about. You Dems should not be asking for whom the bell tolls, because after four years with “Ol’ Jes Wordts’”, who is definitely not a decider or leader, the bell will toll for the Democrat party.

That’s capitalism, creating a sense of a short supply to jack up the prices. A society based on noble principle would create federal medical schools so that the Appalachians, inner cities and high plains all had plenty of MD’s. We can afford MD’s or fake wars on WMDs in Iraq. I choose having more MDs. And stopping attributing to me. I write for myself.

The current Treasury Secretary is a Democrat. I don’t know why anyone would be optimistic over another one.

If the repugs become extinct it just means fewer folks I’ll need to avoid. Don’t like ‘em, don’t trust ‘em, don’t want ‘em here. The only ones worse than Dubya and company are the ones who still support those morons. I just can’t tolerate the stupidy and hypocrisy.

Joey,
Your 3:04 post yesterday quoted AmVet as saying that he “had been a Republican all his life…” The quote was NOT fromm him…it was from ME - and it is true! I said that I agreed with most of what he said in HIS post - which I do! You confused his post with mine, and accused him of a quote HE DID NOT make!!
You need to get your facts straight before you display you “indignation”!!
