....is this another attempt at Rep=Dem?

Using the same type of dialogue isn't makeing a clear point for me. In the case of the Republican Party losing it's soul, it had to do not with money and Wall Street, but hating on women, crapping on Gov't, against health care for all, and trying to privitize social security.
