The rift and disenchantment among Republicans doesn’t go unnoticed.
I am one who would not mourn the loss of the Republican Party…granted, I would like to see several political parties and not a monopoly by the two existing ones…and it may just happen; but for the time being, I can also see how the Republican Party is digging its own grave.
I have been saying all along, as a matter of fact until I am blue in the face that the Republican ideology is wrong to begin with…all the concepts handed down by their dear leader Reagan are askew, impractical and disastrous for not just the American people but for the economy…with the exception of the very wealthy and the corporations. I have said it time and time again: TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS NEVER WORKED, NEVER WILL.
You also have one very compelling argument that the Republicans are committing political suicide because they are systematically excluding so many people. When you exclude any given group of people your voter base becomes narrower. That is precisely why the Teabaggers have been able to take over the Republican Party…but fear not, the demographics are crushingly cruel to racists and exclusionists because these minorities not only are they growing faster than the Republican Party would like but they are also voting in massive numbers…therefore the need to suppress that vote with a number of initiatives akin to Jim Crowe and ridiculously drawn district configurations to exclude minority votes.
Leaving all those realities on the side of the road, the Republicans pick up a very pesky hitchhiker: this Paul Ryan joke that masquerades as a budget reduction proposal. Republicans suggest that we borrow one trillion…yes that is spelled with a T…dollars from the Chinese (those Socialist-Maoist-Communist Capitalists) notwithstanding the fact that we are forced to borrow this money because as a nation…we are hopelessly and alarmingly broke; and well, yes, all this borrowed dough is to be given away to the super-wealthy and the corporations in the form of tax cuts and subsidies under the illusion that this will stimulate the economy and create jobs (TRICKLE DOWN AT WORK HERE AGAIN).
But that is not where all this Paul Ryan crap stops…the Republican-Teahadists are simultaneously insisting in balancing the budget that could not possibly be balanced because the taxation is so askew, so favorable to the very wealthy that our government is not collecting the needed revenues to even function…and how do you think they intend to solve such a dilemma? Well, by cutting all social programs. Remember that these Socialist programs are a pesky pain in the ass for them…ideologically and in practice because they work…and the American people love them…like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and Women’s services.
Let them throw in the elimination of public education and some of the consumer safety and protection agencies and voila!, you will have a balanced budget…NOT!
To make the Paul Ryan plan simple for you: the Republican-Teahadists want to borrow a trillion dollars from China then turn around and give that money to the super-wealthy and even give subsidies to corporations like the oil companies who are making a killing; then they expect to mount it on the shoulders of seniors, the disabled, the poor, the unemployed, the uninsured and many others who don’t have a voice or some high paid lobbyist in Washington to represent them…that is much to our chagrin the Republican philosophy that reflects their FAMILY VALUES and their PATRIOTISM…NOT! Because when you destroy the middle class and you have seniors dropping off like flies from hunger and illness…then you have also destroyed America as we know it; one place most of us would not like to live in.
