The Crisis of the Democratic Party

From Z Magazine, “So we see in this country not a revitalized Democratic Party working congruently with the needs of this culture and demands of fundamental change, but one so paralyzed by dependence on money and internal divisions that it is unable to mount a credible defense of a sinking welfare state and finds it easier to go after “terrorists” and join in the fight to contain the debt. The intransigent Republicans have been making mincemeat of the far-too-little-intransigent Democrats.”

Remember Who Crashed the Economy?

Remember Who Crashed the Economy? According to 49 percent of Republicans, ACORN caused it, although that organization hasn’t existed for several years. Blame the Fox Propaganda Network for such mass stupidity.

The people above are people and organizations the entire Republican Party want to destroy. Compare that to the Democratic Party; only 80 of Democrats want to go after those people and organizations, and they need to do is covertly, because some of those people represent the base of the Democratic Party.

Why does the Republican Party need really insane candidates?

Why does the Republican Party leadership keep pushing idiots for political offices? The answer is simple. On the national and state level, it’s a party completely controlled by a slice of the super-rich, and these people are completely out of touch with the rest of the nation.

A small group of billionaires, such as the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson, run the party. These people are rabidly anti-tax, anti-middle class warriors. These billionaires are the big money behind Grover Norquist, and they’re the guys that frighten Republican candidates into submission on the issues, not Norquist.

That’s why fewer and fewer sane and intelligent people are willing to run for national or state political office as Republicans. At the bottom of the barrel, there are plenty of stupid people willing to submit to the whims of these few and further their aspirations in the process. In other words, in the Republican Party, turds rise to the top because the cream flees from the Republican Party container due to the stench of their positions. That’s why we have a speaker of the House that is a former bug killer.

As these billionaires continue to veer more and more to the right for their personal gain, like the destruction of the self-sustaining Social Security Trust (i.e. meaning the privatization of Social Security, which is a code word for profitization of Social Security on behalf of themselves), lower tax rates for the rich that destroy jobs and the economy, etc….

Perhaps a recent article in the Washington Post said it best of the Republican Party, “It’s not just on the ideas side where the center of the GOP is moving. The rise of American Crossroads/Crossroads GPS as well as Americans for Prosperity — and a slew of other conservative-minded outside groups — have made them the major financial players in campaigns. Unlike political party committees, which are limited in the sort of donations they can accept, these outside groups can take unlimited checks from individuals.”

The billionaire money behind those groups are the driving force behind the far right and getting further right political positions and battle plans of the GOP and its candidates. None of these are good for the nation and the middle class.

The Republican Party is controlled insanely greedy billionaires, and that’s why they need to have really insane candidates.

Science Versus Republican Party Science

An interesting truth above. However, I should point out that when science is profitable to corporations, the Republicans can correctly answer one plus one. On the other hand, when the profits aren’t there, or profits might be hindered, the Republicans refuse to believe in science.

What Did the Reagan and Bush Tax Cuts Do?

The Reagan and Bush tax cuts gave more money to the rich to buy even more politicians than they could before those tax cuts. The 1 percent purchased 80 percent of the Democratic Party, which they really didn’t need since they already owned the Republican Party. They’ve used their politicians to enact legislation that redistributes income from the 99 to the 1 percent.

Senatorial Candidate Elizabeth Warren Responds to the Vicious Class Warrior, Republican New Jersey Governmor Gus Christie

New Jersey Republican Governor Gus Christie wants to continue the thirty-two year old war the 1 percent have been waging against the 99 percent. He wants to use legislation to redistribute more income and wealth from the 99 percent to the 1 percent. Let’s face it. That’s his job. Elizabeth Warren (pictured above) decided to respond.

Warren said of Christie’s speech at the Republican convention, “We made a decision together as a country: To invest in ourselves, in our kids, and in our future. For nearly half a century, that’s just what we did.

And it worked. For nearly 50 years, as our country got richer, our families got richer—and as our families got richer, our country got richer.

And then about 30 years ago, our country moved in a different direction. New leadership attacked wages. They attacked pensions. They attacked health care. They attacked unions. And now we find ourselves in a very different world from the one our parents and grandparents built. We are now in a world in which the rich skim more off the top in taxes and special deals, and they leave less and less for our schools, for roads and bridges, for medical and scientific research—less to build a future.

Tonight, Chris Christie and the Republicans told the American people that we’re to blame for our broken economy. He told families to tighten their belts. He told seniors to live on less. He told teachers to stop fighting for fair pay.

He never, ever mentioned how much more the richest have taken, and he had no mention that those who broke our economy still haven’t been held accountable.”

Warren didn’t mention one thing; Christie is most likely on the payroll of the crookiest of the 1 percent.

What did President Dwight Eisenhower Say About Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and the Modern Republican Party??

Below is what Republican US President Dwight D. Eisenhower thought of Wall Street Mitt the Twit Romney, his VP choice Paul Ryan and the rest of the modern Republican Party.

“Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things… (Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan come to mind). Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

One could say that the Twit Twins (Mitt and Paul Ryan) are just serving their Wall Street masters in redistributing the income of the 99 percent to the 1 percent. But it’s not just Republicans doing this. Democrat Wall Street Senator Ron Wyden is trying to do the same thing. Yes, he is a stupid Wall Street drone bee.
