What happened to the "conservative" GOP?

We have about 11 days left before Nov 6. Don't be surprised at what these so called "conservatives" are going to do or say in order to win because they will do and say anything to drive out their racist, hate filled, simple minded voters. The Ronald Reagan conservatives of the Republican Party are gone, replaced with the filth of America called the "Tea Party".

[center][img][/img][/center]
The republican party, the once "conservative" party of Ronald Reagan, who believed in values such as respect and honor have been taken over by a bunch of white wing, racist, warmongering, simple minded, hate filled, incompetent, chicken hawk, disrespectful, lying, cheating, womanizing, hypocritical, bunch of two bit whores. (My apologizes to the two bit whores of this country)

This party thinks it is "conservative" to depict the President of the United States, the first African American to serve, as someone with a bone in his nose.

They think it is "conservative" to be disrespectful to an elected official by yelling "YOU LIE" during a State of the Union speech.

They think it is "conservative" to call the President the N word.

They think it is "conservative" to repeat lie after lie after lie in hopes that it will stick and become the truth to the simple minded that refuse to change the channel from FoxNews.

They think it is "conservative" to interrupt people in order to change the conversation even interrupting the President of the United States.

They think it is "conservative" to carry weapons to a political rally or post cross hairs on their political rivals.

They think it is "conservative" to call women "sluts".

They think it is "conservative" to claim Hispanics carry disease and create "terror babies".

They think it is "conservative" to redefine rape as something to sit back and enjoy.

They think it is "conservative" to send poll watchers to minority voting locations to intimated and disrupt.

They think it is "conservative" to restrict voting especially to the elderly, students, and minorities.

They think it is "conservative" to claim to protect the sanctity of marriage while having multiple affairs, dressing in diapers, visiting prostitutes and tolerating those in their party who do it.

They think it is "conservative" to call American's freeloaders when they own tens of thousands of dollars in back child support.

They think it is "conservative" to call for war, but will not fight or send their own children to fight it.

This is what the GOP has become. They will do anything to win. They will say anything to win. The GOP is dead as a party and dead in their hearts. Ronald Reagan would be ashamed.

(as Sharkeyes would say). I lived through the so called gentler days of Ronald Reagan and I can tell you that those William F. Buckley types were just as racist and mean as these teabaggers. Only difference is this crowd has 24/7 cable, internet, twitter and unReality TV (FOX). When the MSM starts pining for the "good old days", they're probably forgetting about the 30% unemployment in black households, housing discrimination and vote (Lee Atwater) fraud that existed. Only difference today is that the conservatives have run the northern Republics out of the party.

That damned Nixon and his southern strategy paved the way for a C grade actor like Reagan to grift his way into the presidency. Look at the folks he surrounded himself with and you can tell how serious he was about moving the country forward. All hat.

The tea party has stolen the GOP and the name of conserative but they are a bunch of CONS.
