Reply #125: RWing Republicans cater to their extremist voting base... [View All]

[Q]

...just as they do with their other special interests...without regard to the Constitution or the common good. The GOP really doesn't care about the abortion issue...after all, they kill childen and babies in the womb with their bombs all the time. Their push for abortion legislation is a way of 'buying' votes and keeping a loyal voting base.

- The point is that the New Republican party could give a shit about the Constitution and representative government. They have no interest in bipartisanship unless they can use it to their advantage. They give lip service to the idea of Democracy while using the executive order like a royal decree. They start wars and invade countries simply because they can.

- I joined the Democratic party because in the 60s and 70s the party had guts. But they lost those 'guts' in the 80s and have been slipping and sliding ever since. They tried to bring the Reagan Republicans to justice over the Iran/Contra scandal...but the GOP already had judges in just the right places, political smear machines and a compliant media already in place.

- Democrats simply can't afford to play by the old rules....when both sides actually worked together for the good of the people.
