Republicans need to read this post if there is any hope for the party. This was an honest assessment. I stand by this post today even after the election of my candidate!

The last ‘8 years’ has seen an increased angry selfish and racist old white dominated Republican Party while membership of the party dwindles. The death of Jesse Helms has been replaced by another clique of racists Americans. For example, Senator John McCain now speaks in coded language in promoting some of the extreme right wing segregationist mentality policies. From tax cuts to the top 1% to discrimination of women for example less pay for women and less rights for women. If you don’t believe me, look at the composition of the Republican Party and those who attend Senator McCain’s rallies. The attendees have a lot in common: They are mostly old white males and old white women! Most white males, especially those under 65 are turning independent or democrats because their party has become a mean hawk that feeds on the less unfortunate, exploit the powerless, dominate power and break rules with impunity. If you dare question the actions of the Republican Party, you are labeled unpatriotic. If you are not white, you are labeled unpatriotic and seen as an outcast irrespective of what you do or say. And they do so with a straight face without blinking. The racist clique is dwindling and will become extinct soon!
Journalist like Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe) who up-to-date cannot provide evidence of the death girl found in his office before he bailed out of congress continues to call Senator Barack Obama unpatriotic. If Joe Scarborough were Hispanic or any other race, he would be in jail today. This is what most Americans have come to see as unfair rule of law. Some white male criminals are rewarded.
This morning, Joe Scarborough looked into the camera (the face of a cold mean looking alleged criminal) and said, “When I was in congress, no woman gave me sex or any stuff” referring to a fellow indicted Republican, Stephen of Alaska. Joe Scarborough has become a saint, but it is important that we understand that Joe was accused for the death of a girl in his Washington office and the death remains a mystery. Folks like Joe have driven most Americans from the Republican Party that was once a party for equality and justice and fair play. I have a simple request for you all! Stop watching Morning Joe and Road to the White House.
If you doubt me, consider that, liberalism is an ideology committed to greater freedom for individuals. It has two central ideas: a) opposition to arbitrary authority, whether it is from the President or the Church, and b) desire for greater overall freedom for the individual.
Conservatism is distinguished by fear of change, of those who don’t look like you. Conservatives are afraid of those who would plan to work for change to "improve" standards of living. Conservatives are distrustful of change to improve the status quo. Conservatism draws its major support from those with the greatest interest in the existing order - the top one percent and Neo-cons or right wing extremists.
Where are most Americans today?
Ideology refers to a structure of interrelated values, ideas, and beliefs about the nature of people and society. Ideology typically refers to the best way to live, appropriate institutional arrangements, and how to improve society. Political ideology in the United States is fluid. While often describing themselves as liberal or conservative, most Americans now think of themselves as pragmatic moderates who decide issues on their merits rather than through an ideological set of values or beliefs. McCain subscribes to extremist values of greed, torture, power monopoly, huge ego and selfishness.
The Republican Party is now what it is!
