Here's the GOP in a nutshell:

1. Supply Side Economics.

That's it. It's a wholesale "give the money to the rich" campaign, with no concurrent benefit to anyone on the "trickle down". It's never worked, and it won't work now, or in the future.

All the other issues are bullshite issues trumped up to get voters in the booth...guns, religion, abortion, immigration, whatever. Every single one of those issues is ginned up fear about someone or something that is taking what is yours, even when there is absolutely no truth to any of it at all.

The funny part is that there are plenty of right wingers out there who have been perfectly candid about that...they don't care about anything at all except getting them in the booth to vote for them, and they'll use any fear tactic they can gin up to get them in there...and then they'll make unbelievably stupid tax breaks for the rich, soak us all for all we're worth, and then blame it on someone else.

That's what the GOP has been for a long time, and currently is really staking down their position to continue being that for the foreseeable future.

You can continue to support that, and go down with the ship, or work to get that out of the GOP and get them to propose something...anything...that might actually benefit the country.

Good luck on both counts.

Fish on...
