Tecumseh's curse and the death of the Republican party

[seemslikeadream]

It seems to me that with the election of goergie came the slow agonizing death of the Republican party and so fulfillment of the curse.

1. No curse necessary.

The GOP destroyed itself through its own
hate and greed.

2. +1

That and an inability to adapt to but a fantastic ability to deny any problems at hand.

3. I include Reagan in that listing -

the injury and subsequent surgery trauma was what kicked off his Alzheimers - as is often the case, the disease only develops after a physical trauma/hospital stay. As Alzheimers is a progressive, fatal disease with no cure he was, quite literally, dead from the time he contracted it, just as my father was from the time of his operation which kicked off his illness.

I would like to see W's term as the death of the American Empire, thus fulfilling the curse.
