I find it interesting how the definition of "mainstream conservatisim" keeps changing. They get someone into office, proclaiming: "At last, a true conservative!" Then they support him no matter what... even when he attempts to turn the US into a theocratic totaltarian state...
Then once they've been thrown out on their asses, they step back and say: "Whoa! Now hold on! Bush wasn't a REAL conservative... you can't blame us for the wrecked economy, two wars based on lies, a drowned city, or all the abuses of executive power and assaults on the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights... No, that was Bush... we never really supported HIM...."
Y'know... fuck the GOP and the republicans in general. They're getting exactly what they deserve: political extinction. They were all "good germans" for the last eight years. None of them spoke up, none of them even mumbled under their breath, as Bush, Cheany, Rove and Rumsfeld took us down the path that Osama had hoped we would... turning the US against it's own fundamental pricipals. In fact, they helped us all down this road as often, and as forcefully as they could. They sure as hell weren't debating the merits of the PATRIOT ACT, or PATRIOT II. They just sat back, collected their paychecks and the money from the lobbyists, and stuck America's ass up on the horse and told every corrupt corperation to line up and take a turn fucking us, a.k.a "We the People" raw.
The GOP is marginalized. As the full extent of Bush's malfesance comes to light, with more memos, and more economic disasters going off like time bombs left behind by terrorists, the bulk of the American people will turn away from blithering shitheads like Limbaugh, O'Riley, Hannity, and Buchannan. The "Way Things Ought to Be" Rush? Yeah... we've had a bellyful of that crap... Now let us school your snide, bully ass on "The Way Things Really Are."
GOP = R.I.P, and good riddence to the lot of you failed losers.
Since you don't seem to wish to leave it alone, Mars, lets talk about your certainity that "the Republican Party is dead" ....
Sounds mighty familiar to me ...
From the 2004 political cycle:
June 25, 2004
The Beginning of the End of the Democratic Party
Is this really what has become of the Democratic Party? Is Michael Moore the arbiter of the truth for these people?
...
The depth to which the Democratic Party has sunk is astonishing.
...
The Democrats' new call to arms comes from Moore, a filmmaker with a questionable ability to distinguish between fact and fiction, and who employs clever editing to ridicule his opponents. It is only a matter of time before Moore's own tactics are used against him. The great advocate of the working man once fought an attempt of his employees to unionize, and will not suffer the indignity of an ambush interview, a technique he has exploited repeatedly.
...
But what of the Democratic Party? It is important to have a serious political organization to provide opposition to conservatives, thereby sharpening political arguments, and giving voters a clear choice. America needs a competition of between legitimate ideas coherently argued, and it needs its major parties to be serious about protecting the United States from its obvious enemies.
The Democratic Party is quickly becoming a parody, led by bitter, screeching fools who cannot come to grips with the fact that a duly elected President is boldly leading the fight against those who would destroy us. They cannot see past their own lust for power, and want power only for its own sake.
Another example:
September 2004
The Democratic Party is Toast
The modern Democratic Party cannot survive the reelection of President George W. Bush and another four years of Republican control of both Congress and the White House.
No brag. Just fact.
...
But outside state power, the Democratic coalition withers and dies. Without effective control of the government, the Democratic Party is like a fish out of water, a vampire in the sun, Antaeus held aloft, an appliance unplugged. In the past, the Democratic Party could afford to lose the presidency and remain connected to its source of power--the state--through control of the House of Representatives, and often the Senate as well. Little damage was done to the structure of the Democratic Party during the interregnums of the Eisenhower, Nixon, and George H.W. Bush administrations, because their moves could be checkmated by a Democratic Congress. With the end of 40 years of Democratic gerrymandering, states in which a majority of the congressional popular vote goes to the GOP now award a majority of congressional seats to the GOP, too.
...
Four more years of President Bush will also accelerate one of the most important demographic changes in America over the past 20 years: the number of Americans who own stock.
...
Last, a Bush-Cheney victory in November will create the conditions for a constructive contest among leading Republican governors and senators for the presidential nomination in 2008.
This was bullshit and wishful thinking back then, just as your proclamations are bullshit and wishful thinking now.
