I wanted to spell out the cracks I see in the party in hope that others will add and build upon as we go along to the General election. In anticipating the swift boating on the nominee.
Republicans are now in trouble as the religious right thinks it will inherit the party.
There are several splits emerging and at least one just under the surface that will need to be sorted out.
Theocons and Corporate cons are at odds over of all things taxes. The current Theocons want to abolish the current tax system and replace it with a sales tax on everything. Alas the Corporate cons want nothing to paying their fare share of taxes. This was a core benefit in the Republican party. How dare the Theocons suggest any different. No wonder money is not flowing into Republican coffers.
A split also exists between the Theocons and Neocons . Neocons think nothing of killing all the infidels, they don’t really follow "thou Shall not Kill". I doubt they follow any real religious doctrine they just use it against others. True Theocons don’t want the killing. There is also some leaders of the Theocons who betray their base when they act like Neocons. Such as when Pat Robertson said to wage war in the name of Christianity. Religion is responsible for most, if not all the wars on the planet. The base of the Theocons really have some work to do here to sort this one out. If you doubt the Iraq war is a religious war ask a Muslim. Our forefathers saw that religion needed to be kept out of politics what they didn’t write down was because it always leads to war. This is why Theologians should never get their hands on a military force. And the biggest reason for separation of church and state.
Corporate cons love the money the war is generating to their balance sheets. They are not interested in stopping anything. This is a split with America itself.
Not to forget Paleocons but their commie, pinko, fag lines are so Archie Bunker 1970’s their split is with the 21st century. They just don’t get a reaction out of their lingo any longer.
Political parties learn over time.
Corporate cons have learned to hid their true intentions.
Now however there is a fight as to who will control the Republican party. Corporate cons or Theocons
At their core Republicans are Hooray for me and to hell with you.
At their core Democrats are Hooray for me and then can I help you.
Republicans have not shown the ability or want to make a compromise. It will be interesting to see who wins control of the Republican party and or if a compromise is made. I’m sure these splits will have an effect on the General election.
America needs some help after years of neglect.
It is enjoyable to see the colligation winning again in the Democratic party.
America is excited to have the choice.
