After 40 long years, the truth about the Republican Party is finally out of the bag, thanks to the 47 traitors and Twitter’s trending #GOPWantsWar hashtag. UniteBlue launched the #GOPWantsWar hashtag on Thursday, it gained momentum over the weekend, and it’s still going strong. In it — as shown in the tweets below — people from all walks of life chimed in on Twitter to share their perspectives on how the Republican Party no longer stands for anything but low wages, corporate supremacy, war, and death.


For years, Republicans have talked about trickle-down economics, the rising tide lifting all boats, and “compassionate conservatism.” But when push comes to shove, that’s just putting lipstick on a bloated, monstrous corporate pig. After 40 years, the disastrous results of the GOP’s policies speak for themselves. Republicans have made it clear they don’t want to spend money on fixing roads, helping American workers through a financial crisis, educating young people, addressing climate chane, or anything else that benefits us as a society. Heck, they don’t even want to pay for stuff Americans have already paid for like Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance. Because, really, the #GOPWantsWar and nothing else.


Back in the mid-20th century, when more reasonable and moderate Republicans and Democrats were running things, America’s prosperous middle class, state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellence in higher education, advanced technology, and thriving business climate were the envy of the world. Now look at us. Republicans no longer even deserves the name “conservative,” because — as right-wing blowhard Pat Buchanan once famously said — we’ve got “nothing left to conserve.” Because, really, the #GOPWantsWar and nothing else. When you’re a hammer, every problem’s a nail. And when it comes to problem-solving, today’s Republicans are all stick and no carrot, with no incentives, only penalties. How do we solve problems at home? Wage a war on drugs. Invade communities with highly militarized police forces, and when people don’t like it, shoot them or throw them in prison. How do we solve problems abroad? Wage a war on terrorism. Invade communities with military forces, and when people don’t like it, shoot them, or throw them into prison camps and illegal detention centers.


What better way to create a slave army for all these giant corporations who would rather give huge, unearned bonuses to their useless, blood-sucking CEOs than pay their workers a living wage. Today’s Republicans claim they’re about being fiscally responsible, balancing the budget, and reducing federal and state deficits. But they always seem able to find money for pointless, destructive, and expensive wars. Because, really, the #GOPWantsWar and nothing else. We’re all shocked about that letter Sen. Tom Cotton and his band of #47Traitors sent to Iran. But really, we shouldn’t be surprised at all. Talk radio host Thom Hartmann once explained Republican policies are so unpalatable that the GOP has never been able to win a presidential election without committing fraud and treason since President Dwight D. Eisenhower left office in 1961. That’s right. The #GOPWantsWar and nothing else… Or at least they’re willing to wage war and murder thousands of people if that’s what they need to do to have their way. And that’s how we wound up with three Republican presidents who nearly managed to destroy our country within the past 40 years.

1. Richard Nixon scuttles Vietnam peace talks. In 1968 GOP presidential candidate Richard Nixon tanked his Democratic rival Hubert Humphrey’s prospects. How? By promising South Vietnam a better peace deal if he won, thereby sabotaging President Lyndon B. Johnson’s attempts to end the deeply unpopular war. Vietnam dropped the Peace talks in Paris and the war dragged on for seven more years until 1975. And let’s not forget how Richard Nixon proved so paranoid, ruthless, and dishonest, he was forced to resign from office before Congress could impeach him after the Watergate Scandal broke.

2. Ronald Reagan’s “October surprise”: In 1980, GOP contender Ronald Reagan pulled a similar maneuver on President Jimmy Carter by scuttling his painstaking negotiations with Iran to end the hostage crisis. In exchange for delaying their release of American hostages until after Election Day, Reagan promised to sell them weapons and “spare parts.” Even though we had an arms embargo against them at the time. Reagan then used the money to illegally fund the Contras in Nicaragua… even though Congress had banned that through the Boland Amendment.

3. George W. Bush “wins” in 2000 and finds fake WMD: And of course, we all know about how George W. Bush stole the election in 2000 with help from his dad’s cronies in the Supreme court; ignored repeated warnings about Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden; and then used the 9/11 attacks to drum up popular support and get carte blanche from Congress to invade Iraq and destroy their non-existent “Weapons of Mass Destruction.”
