In reply to the discussion: Colin Powell: 'Birther Nonsense' Is 'Killing The Base' Of The GOP [View all]olegramps
(8,200 posts)31. Personally I welcome the demise of the anti-working class party. Couldn't happen fast enough.
They have opposed ever measure that would assist working class citizens in favor of their wealthy plutocrat enablers. I see nothing in their party but hatred, racism and determination to enslave the working class in poverty. The only hope for the nation is their absolute defeat in 2014. We must crush this insidious beast. The only thing that I hope to see drown in a bathtub is Norquist's war on the working class.
