The message is the medium. Or is it the other way around? With the republicans |

doing nothing but politics right now during this important debate they are showing us that they would never be any different than the bush administration was. That if they ever do get power they will not govern they will only continue the campaign politically to get more power. Because they care about nothing but politics no important programs will ever occur during their reign. Good ideas are over with! Not even a public option which is both more efficient and more equitable than anything else. So history is really over for the republicans. They are nothing where ideas are concerned. They only stand for less taxes for the wealthy. They are politics incarnate. After being molded by 40 years of the noise machine... their base, at 25% of the US population, will turn to stone sometime soon. The only question is will they make a popping sound when they finally disappear off the radar?

1. Their base is sustaining increasing erosion due to whackos like Beck Palin and Bachmann |
|
And those media dudes ain't doing so bad either at turning off the segments that are learning better than to remain with the Party.
The Pub Party is so desperate for Heros they even went for Glen Beck and consequently....his numbers went up...
The price is being associated with a nutcase such as Beck, Palin, and Bachmann....
All 3 refuse to use REASON TRUTH and SANITY...the basics of Human Endeavor
The Whole GOP reflects a refusal to address Positiveness while embracing Fantasy and Fear Issues...mostly Chicken Little and the Sky is Falling crap.....
They headed for a landslide DEFEAT in 13 months.....pity...they coulda woulda shoulda but thought selfinterest was the focus..forget balance and fairness....the Need for Greed was Over powering...
