In reply to the discussion: Free Republic is in full meltdown mode. [View all]Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)Hope you stick around so you can engage in our conversation here. You can't be promoting Romney here for obvious reasons, but you can discuss issues that effect all of us. Here's the thing. Maybe 40 years ago, Republicans had a broad representation of different political views. Legislation in Congress got passed by coalitions of like minded Republicans and Democrats. Today's Republican Party is sick - it's sort of like FR...it allows only a conservative dogmatic fidelity and it's got no ideas or vision to deal with the structural issues facing this country. All they want to do is either obstruct the Democratic agenda or. worse, implement a psuedo-religious agenda that caters to the very well off while creating social conflicts in our society. Please focus on what's happening in Michigan and understand that the Republican endgame is to create the same 1 Party rule for the rest of this country.
