The downfall of the Republican Party

The Republican Party has become the chameleon party. A party that is most concerned with pushing the extreme in order to get elected.

The Republican party, over the last few decades, has changed their colors so many times that those holding office under the party name have no idea where to stand from day to day.

When the tea party made their takeover of the Republican Party with their calls for smaller government, the party thought they had to fall in line. The problems lie in the fact that no Republican has ever created a smaller government. They just don’t know how, so they have been stumbling like a drunk who is off balance.

The Republican view is one in which the government needs to have stricter control of the public, as is evident in many laws being fostered in the halls of Washington these days. The right wrongly states that the laws they are creating will lessen the role of government, but will need a larger government to enforce the new laws.

What they evidently mean by smaller is for corporations to have a freer hand, without repercussions, in workplace safely and pollution violations. Rules have been made for car manufacturers on fuel efficiency and for manufacturers to build better systems to handle the pollution going into our water systems.

The people who once made up the Republican Party ..... those who were the moderates ..... have been appalled by the forceful takeover by the extreme and radical neo-conservatives. They have either turned to the Democratic Party or the Independents.

The Republicans thought that by joining forces they could create a larger force. However, they didn’t foresee that the Tea Party would create a divide, turning away many that refused to allow or accept the direction the party has taken.

The party has become a bunch of marionettes whose strings are being pulled by corporate lobbyists and even the Tea Party. Even though they refuse to open their eyes to the fact that they are being played as lackeys, and that they have been since the first day they took corporate money.

Corporations are now demanding a return on their investment. To them it was all an insurance policy to give them a bigger return on their profits ..... purely and simply GREED. Like PT Barnum said, "there is a sucker born every minute," and we see the proof of that in the Tea Party Republicans.
