Republican Party: Beginning of the end?

[kres24GT]

The immigration bill is only further splitting the party after it was already hurting due to their spending habits while in power. Even Sean Hannity is crapping on the party, not just individual Republicans anymore. Right now the leading candidate for President could also alienate their religious base. Also we are about to add 20-40 million minority voters, most of whom are poor, to this country, who usually vote Democrat.

Is it possible we will have a one party system very soon. Or will another party come up to take their place?

[Mr. Blue]

Well, the immigration bill as is was a mess. I believe Linkster posted something to this effect, but we already have a shitload of immigration laws on the books and we should start there and enforce what we have.

Republican dissension though is interesting to me. I happen to agree with the Republican dissenters on the topic of immigration. America is heading towards this great fall if we don't keep our borders in check, if we allow this mass immigration, if we allow people to work here and send a good bulk of their money home to another country instead of spending it here.

Besides other stupid things we're doing...I don't really hold out much hope for America.

One party system? Nope.
Dictatorship? Maybe
Anarchy? Good Chance of it.
Second Rate World Power? Expect it.

Republicans have always been the Big Business party.

Poor redstaters. They've been fellating the repubs, this is their reward.

Both parties are in the pockets of Big Business, the Republicans are just a little more honest about it... sometimes.


I agree with Blue though, as the parties merge into one and turn to a combination of fascism and socialsim, we will more toward a dictatorship or anarchy. I think probably dictatorship, the people of this country are too stupid and lazy to overthrow the government, no matter how oppressive they become.

Good Ole Fred will save the republican party. He's every thing that they want.

1. He looks Presidential which is a very big deal to most uneducated red staters.
2. He's been a lobbyist for over 20 years so special interest groups will love him even more then they love Dubya
3. He's an actor so he can play any part. The people that vote for him will never look into his past just like they ignored Dubya's.
4. He can sling hate and that's what is really holding the republicans together.

Rudy, Mitt and John don't stand a chance. An actor lobbyist that's even played the President will hammer them into the ground.

Of course I can't think of worse profession for a Presidential candidate but voters will never know what he does for a living.

[Mr. Blue]

I really think they've made too much of old Freddy. You know though...considering America's fascination with actors and celebrities...hmm...damn you might be right Moby, lol.

blah blah blah yada yada

I don't like the dems corruption either, but the republicans took it to a whole other level. And if you can't see that, that shows exactly what your agenda is.

My agenda is to get both of these parties out of Washington. So yes, it is clear. Saying one is less corrupt than the other is a joke in my opinion. Both are so sold out to special interest, both line their pockets with money from big business, both have sold us out to the corporations, and both will not stop until the destruction of America as we know it is upon us. Democrats, or even impartial observers, bragging they are less corrupt than the Republicans is like Hitler claiming he killed less of his own people than Stalin.

An inability to discriminate between available choices reflects on your mental capacities.

And I wasn't talking about corruption per se - I said "Poor redstaters - fellating the republicans and this this their reward.".

Let me translate the meaning of that comment for you - the redstaters thought the republicans would further their agendas, which are primarily focused on racism and sexism and religious intolerance, and to a much lesser degree on fiscal conservatism.

Their party, which is openly the party of permissiveness towards big business, took advantage of their base mentality, and gave them nothing in return.

I don't disagree, although I think you overstate the redneck base and understate the fiscal conservative base. You are the one who turned it into a more corrupt than they are question.
