The Republican Party has degenerated into a small regional party of less educated white people in fly over country...most of their "notions" are based on AM Hate Radio...as mainstreamed on Fox news...
The old guard Republicans are gone... These were the upper middle class types, small town business owners and Wall Street...they are about 25% of the current Republican party...
Republicans played a dangerous game...when they coaxed working class "Bubba Voters" into their party with racism, abortion...Guns, God and Gays...and "values" which the REAL (Rich) Republicans had absolutely no interest in...
THIS IS THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION OF THE "SOUTHERN STRATEGY" COMING HOME TO ROOST...
Bubba was duped into voting Republican for years on these bogus issues... But with the Teaparty...which was a primal scream of the Bubba Voters... Things Changed...
The Bush Depression of 2008 "focused the minds" of the Bubba Republicans... But their rants became increasingly odd...and illogical.
Wall Street offshored Bubba's Factory...and cut the social safety net... Even so...Granny was still "protesting" her entitlements in 2010...!
The Frankenstein Monster is now loose ... Republicans are finally getting what they deserve...A Freak Show...
