The modern Republican party, is run by rich, old, White men who believe deep down, with all the fiber of their being, that they AND ONLY THEY have the legitimate right to rule, not govern: RULE. The whole of Conservative thought comes down to establishing an aristocracy with them at the top and everyone else below. The only reason they talk about "conserving institutions" is because it preserves those things that maintain their power over everyone else. Anything that involves freedom for the masses or economic justice, is against everything they stand for. They don't believe in a meritocracy; it would mean that blue blooded morons such as the previous President would never have gotten anywhere if he had to depend on his own wits and had no connections.
Their greatest allies are the "wannabes", those people who listen to Rush Limbaugh and as Mike Malloy calls right wing radio "Radio Rwanda" who vote for these "aristocrats" in the vain hope that one day, they will be one of them. Not realizing that they will never achieve that status because the people who they vote for will never allow it they vote against their own interests and then blame minority groups for their lack of progress.
Lets talk about the elephant in the room (no pun intended); SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMIC POLICIES DON'T WORK!
That's the truth that they can't face; Karl Rove can't spin it, FoxNews can't deny it and the Teabagger freaks don't get it.
While I've been disappointed with President Obama, I'm going to vote FOR him out of spite for the Republican Party. I want the margin to be so big, they'll be in the political wilderness for 2 generations. I want them to be traumatized by the fact that a Black Man beat them not once, but twice. It may sound cruel, but I'm looking forward to every Conservative freak and their Teabagger acolytes to be on the verge of suicide, so much that like Madam Lafarge, I'm bringing the popcorn to watch them go their demise with glee.
If that seem extreme to you, then go to Free Republic.com and see if you still believe these guys aren't beyond redemption.
