It is quite entertaining to watch the Good Ole’ Boy Party (GOP) implode everyday right before the whole world. Thanks George Bush and Dick Cheney for kicking it all off almost a decade ago.
The familiar GOP we knew is dead. That is a beautiful thing. It is unclear what the new GOP will be. Michael Steele is witnessing first hand the lengths at which a so called majority will go when they see power being wrested from undeserving hands. Careful what you wish for.
I purposely torture, as well as entertain myself daily, by listening to conservative talk radio, reading right wing publications and expanding my searches online for the multitude of resources that validate my earlier premise that the GOP is dead.
Look at all of the infighting. Steele vs. Limbaugh. Limbaugh vs. Powell. Cheney vs. George W. Bush. Palin Camp vs. McCain Camp. Steele vs. Rommney.
Specter saw the writing on the wall.
For decades, being a Republican has had connotations of being: exclusive, divisive, sinister, racist, sexist, out-of-touch, oppressive and anti anything and anyone that might level a playing field that unquestionably has benefited the white male power elite. No more. Often, especially with today’s younger population and the MTV generation, admitting that you belong to the GOP is tantamount to wearing a scarlet letter on your chest.
Now please don’t get this situation or my comments twisted, even with a black man and his family living in the most popular residence on Pennsylvania Avenue, America has a long way to go. If you think for a minute that the old GOP is going to go quietly, think again.
You can still review the list of the Fortune 500 companies and on the 10 fingers and toes you were born with not need any extras to account for minority or women CEOs at these firms. There is still rampant discrimination taking place everyday in the good old US of A. There are still minority families taking out car loans today with better credit than their majority counterparts but they are being saddled with significantly higher interest rates on their loans simply because of their race or zip code. The same is true for home mortgages, home insurance, and auto insurance.
Everyday, you hear some so-called conservative ranting about Big Government. If government would not have been asleep at the wheel, we would have never had to experience Worldcom, Enron, Bernie Madoff, War in Iraq, approval of torture, and an economy near depression. That’s what happens when you let the foxes mind the hen house.
The next big tummy ache for the GOP, will be the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice. What a perfect storm! If the timing is right, over the next decade, no less than three Justices may be required to be nominated.
R.I.P. GOP! Good riddance.
