The GOP is trying to put lipstick on a pig. These racist, homophobic, anti-woman statements is who the base of this party is. They built an electoral majority on these people.

Now the plutocratic wing of the party, that runs things and is only worried about extracting as much wealth as possible from the rest of us, is all upset because they see they’re power could slip away. They’re ready to throw the base under the bus or at least put them on a very short leash. Now thanks to 24 hour cable news and the internet the country is seeing who these people actually are, which is not the flag waving patriots that they try to portray themselves as.

I believe they have a right to be bigots. In America, you can think what you want. I believe they have a perfect right to say what they believe in and not have to apologize for it. You’re just a wimp if you apologize for what you really believe in. You don’t have a right to be elected to public office and this is the problem facing the GOP.

These MORONS are so used to racism that it just pours out of their mouths without thinking. This worked for so long for the GOP that now they’re having political nervous breakdown.

Anytime a Republican tries to temper the tone of their views on minorities, he has to walk it back 10 minutes later. When a GOP MORON comes out and makes a racist or homophobic statement, he comes out and says “I was misunderstood.”. The racist, bible thumping base will tolerate nothing less. The GOP’s political nuts are in a vise and that Tea Party base is tightening the screw.

When the Koch Brothers and Freedom Works stirred up those Tea Party nut bags in 2010 they probably thought it was a good idea. It’s not looking so good right now and going forward. They made a deal with the Devil and the Devil wants his due.

You can see gay discrimination is on it’s way out. The supporters of gay bashing are grasping at straws and their arguments to keep the “status quo” are becoming more and more, to be kind, extreme. Gayness has been with us throughout history and is not a disease, cannot be prayed away, and is not a psychotic condition. It’s just the way a small portion of the population is wired.

I see it and it looks strange to me, but I think people who eat Brussels Sprouts are strange too and that doesn’t mean I think Brussels Sprouts should be outlawed or people who eat Brussels Sprouts should be discriminated against.

The GOP is in the midst of a political nervous breakdown. Since RR they have built an electoral majority on three legs: plutocrats, racists, and bible thumpers. Over most of their history they have had one consistent goal: to protect the interests of the wealthy. The rest is just talking points to fool the rubes. Now they are in danger of losing the evangelical part of their base.

In the 80′s the Evangelicals thought that they could use political means to further their agenda. Led by TV grifters like Pat Roberts and Jerry Falwell they thought they could get constitutional amendments for school prayer, to ban abortion, and to ban same sex marriage. It is clear now they are getting none of that and they have certainly lost the battle of public opinion. I suspect you will see their agenda change and they become more concerned with social justice and the environment. That a real problem for the GOP. It means they would have to do a 180 on their positions in these matters. If they do, it means losing the plutocrats who fund the party. The GOP is on the verge of becoming a minority party for decades. This looks like a new era of progressive dominance.

What should happen is a complete investigation of school and public officials. This is probably the tip of the iceberg. How many times has the coach, the local police chief, and law enforcement covered up less serious crimes for jocks?. All this leads to the attitude that jocks are on a different level then the rest of us.

In some ways it leads me to have a small amount of sympathy for the defendants here. This would have probably never happened without out a lot of enablers that didn’t nip this in the bud.

Don’t get me started about Durbin. That clown was a key player in blocking filibuster reform. He needs a primary challenge. Then he’ll stop this bipartisan nonsense. Bipartisan in this congress means doing exactly what the Republicans want.

Obama will go down in history as the President who presided over the destruction of SS and Medicare. The only thing saving him is, ironically, the Republicans. I don’t think the Republicans want to touch SS or Medicare. Those folks make up a big chunk of their base. They need a Democratic President to give them cover and Obama seems more than willing.

They’re going after SS not because the trust fund is insolvent. Both parties are trying to find a way of not paying off the bonds SS holds. If the program has less expenses, the trust fund doesn’t need to cash in the bonds it holds. It a scam pure and simple and people are too dumb to see it. Anytime you hear the word “bipartisan” check where your wallet is.

Medicare is only a problem because of our insanely expensive medical system. Ever look at a hospital bill? It’s nuts. Besides the ridiculous charges, look how many Doctors that you didn’t see have charged you. The whole thing is a criminal enterprise. What needs reform is the medical system. Just because you have a medical degree doesn’t mean you’re entitled to be a millionaire. We pay twice what any other industrialized and we have 50MM uninsured.

The Republican party is imploding. Is there a single policy that they espouse that the public supports. There so immersed in their own little world that they think that in there heart of hearts the public agrees with them. So, their answer is its the messaging when its really the message.

Let’s look at the Presidential hopefuls:

Jeb Bush – Might have a shot to win if he changes his last name and pretends he really was an orphan.

Bobby Jindal – No chance to win a general election. He’s too phony and it shows too much.

Paul Ryan – Finally outted as not really serious and a whack job.

Ron Paul – A certified whacko and will not hold up under the scrutiny of a Presidential campaign. BTW I see him as the most likely candidate. His candidacy will be the last gasp of the Tea Party.

Marco Rubio – His finances are a little shady and his lying about his background will be a factor. Another candidate, who if nominated, won’t stand up under pressure of a presidential campaign. He’ll set the all time record for water sipping at a Presidential debate.

Chris Christie – No chance of getting past the primary. Too much of a hothead to get through a Presidential campaign. You can’t bully your way to the Presidency.

Bob McDonnell – The “trans vaginal” candidate is unelectable. He has no appeal to women.

Unless a dark horse emerges the Republicans have no chance in 2016.
