4. Yes, yes, YES!! Go Palin. That is exactly what the GOP needs, more PALIN!!

I could not wish for anything more. Yes, GOP, PLEASE move more toward Sarah Palin, an absolute RIGHT WING DITZ, even dumber than bush AND pretty. Please, GOP (Gay Ol' Party) send us more voters. Act more like Sarah Plain, run more hatefilled, racist, terr'ist callin' campaigns. That's a great idea. I couldn't wish for anything more. After all she IS the new face of the GOP. HAHA!

7. The Bush Regime was not conservative

There is a difference between being a sober conservative and being a right wing moron. Conservative positions are a belief in free enterprise, personal rights and the accompanying responsibilities and small government. What we have had in the last several years is crony capitalism, eroding civil liberties in the name of national security, no accounting for crimes committed in the name of national security and a belief in an overarching, dictatorial presidency with a large federal bureaucracy to support endless wars and intrusion into the private lives of individual citizens.

The right wing isn't interested in facts. A conservative believes that taxes should be low, but presented with a difficult situation, a least he will entertain the idea of raising them. In the parallel universe of the far right, a large national security state doesn't need to raise revenue to support itself and it is possible for a free enterprise system to sustain itself without paying workers to make products and expect them to be able to buy them. Now that's voodoo economics.

Of course, what really defines the right from left is that the left believes in a natural democracy in which all human beings have equal rights before the law and society while the right believes in a natural hierarchy in which some men have the right to rule over others. Slavery and imperialism are examples of right wing institutions. Racism is by definition right wing, whether it comes from Adolf Hitler or Louis Farrakahn. The ideology of neoconsevatism and modern right wing economics beliefs hold that a rich man (or nation) is successful (even if he's just inherited his wealth and doesn't know what to do with it), he is successful because he is smarter and therefore society is better off if his interests are placed above the others. If the wealthy are superior, then Dan Quayle and George W. Bush are the zenith of human evolution. Try defending that thesis.

The right, and even some conservatives, believe that wealth should not be redistributed, either by government or by labor unions, because that would just make the common people lazy and "dependent" on government. Wars are necessary to subjugate economically undeveloped but resource rich nations so that they will turn over their natural resources to those with a proven record of turning raw materials into wealth.

Far from a capitalist utopia, voodoo economics has brought us a ruinous financial meltdown. But the witchdoctor Rush Limbaugh is still there to preach to the choir and tell those who need no real facts to convince them that it's all the fault of liberals.

8. Some of us predicted this when Reagan handed the party

over to the religious nuts in the hope of getting a reliable voting bloc. He succeeded, but he alarmed a lot of old school GOPs like my dad. Still, they didn't do much of anything the religious nuts wanted and kept cutting taxes for wealthy people, so they kept the coalition going for many years. Then Stupid got cheated into office and they started doing things the preachers wanted, like funneling them tax dollars with no questions asked while chipping away at reproductive rights.

Add to that the total callousness toward the American people plus the fact that there is now a clear demonstration that tax cuts are counterproductive, and you've got a recipe for turning that party into the Whigs.

My own best guess is that the wealthy will abandon that party to the populist religious numbskulls like Palin and Joedaplumma and flock to the Libertarians. The GOP will cease to be anything but a fringe bible party for ignorant, mostly rural people in the south and midwest with a religious axe to grind.

The GOP is dead as a brand but they don't quite realize it yet. My guess is that 10 years from now, people will shake their heads in astonishment that they were ever a viable political party, at all.
