The Republican Party you describe no longer exists. It's like asking to remember the Dixiecrats of the 50s and 60s. The thing is, though, those Dixiecrats are now Republicans.<br /><br />Marilyn Davenport and Donald Trump are relevant because they are the new Republican Party. The Tea Party has co-opted and chance of the economic and social moderates in the GOP from having a voice. They don't know they can win the next election with optimism and hope because they mock and criticize "hope and change," remember that? They don't believe in hope and their optimism is reserved for the wealthiest members of our society.<br /><br />Believe me, as a liberal I actually yearn for a political system filled with serious adults on both sides instead of hearing the constant drone of fear, faux patriotism and scientific denial from immoral jokesters who tout family values. It would be so much better for all of us.Broadway Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644413332521237567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246815172385311622.post-8660173579506807182011-04-20T22:35:58.466-04:002011-04-20T22:35:58.466-04:00Remember when the GOP stood for balanced budgets, ...Remember when the GOP stood for balanced budgets, individual freedom and isolationism.<br />The Republican Party has run up these deficits, we want the federal government to be in our bedrooms and between our women and their doctors, we started two wars instead of ending them like the Korean War and were supposed to stop the Vietnam War the Democrats started. We have lost our way!<br /><br />So why waste our time with these fools who use their racist rhetoric, like this Marilyn Davenport and Donald Trump with his birther unproven myth, why do we allow our Fox news people to keep talking down our country. Don’t they know we can win the next election with optimism and hope instead of the current rhetoric, that the sky is falling, if we are not careful we will end up like chicken little where no one will listen to us.Ron Paulnoreply@blogger.com
