Today's GOP

Another issue is that it was the rich people that broke government. They were the ones donating to PACs and scribbling in the law books. Common sense says that when you make a mess you clean it up. We are taught that in kindergarten FFS. It has to be that way for self-government to work.

Let's see...a Republican Congressman running for Senator who believes in legitimate rape as opposed to a lesser kind. In other words if a woman got pregnant from a rape she really was not raped. And he is basically verbalizing what many in his Party believe already...and you wonder why your party is in not respected anymore by your educated middle of the road moderate Republicans or Democrats here on the board...

I, for one, am not in the custom of spewing hate at anyone or anything. Nor do I have a particular dislike for the Republican Party. I more often than not have disagreed with the GOP's views in the past but hate? No. That said I totally agree with finnbow; the GOP has moved so far to the right and become so intransigent that many of their positions are beyond reason.

And leading up to the RNC convention there is chatter of holding the vote early to avoid Ron Paul supporters. How dare those little people disturb the tsars.

Central planning commie pricks. They really need to get sat the f*ck down. The only people that can do it with credibility are Old Republican/NRA/TedNugent types. If the left attacks the commie bastards then FOX will have a field day with it.

Republicans need to start burning flags. I'm not kidding.

Republican officials said the formal presidential nomination process would begin earlier in part because of concerns about supporters of Ron Paul, one of a number of Republicans who challenged Romney during the primary, could seek to disrupt the roll call. Officials were also discussing the impact of Tropical Storm Isaac on the convention.

Okay, now it's my turn.

WTF are you talking about? The current Republicans are actually communists and only Richard Viguerie, Wayne LaPierre and The Nuge can save them?

Normally, I enjoy your cogent posts. This ain't one of them. You lost me completely.

There is an ideological schism in the Republican Party.

One side, the Ron Paul side, is for peace, balanced budget, and small government.

The other side, the rich people, the neocons, are for imperialism, perpetual war, and control over citizens. They firmly believe that they are the superior race and that is why they bring in candidates that are charismatic but dumb as a stumps. They need dumb new candidates so they can be scared into carrying out the agenda. Old Republicans are not welcome.
