Well, the new republican party is showing it's true color!

From the early ninety's to today's political battles, things are at a dangerous level. It was bad then, but it is at an all time low for the republican party, forever changing the landscape of their party. The on going fight of power has become struggle for the main stream to hold onto the party. Now, with the likes of Trump, Cruz and the crack tea party is making a mockery of what political affiliation there might be left. Makes me happy that I am not a republican.

4. The Rethugs have come full circle since the

days of Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohen. Ike tried to change it's nature,and when his Vice President lost his butt to Kennedy,there was a short period of time they did a kinder gentler Party. Since Nixon's election the Rethugs have been hell bent on a course of discourse. With each elections cycle,we have seen a more hate filled message coming out of this group. And today,the mirror on the wall says,1952 all over again.

6. Not quite

The Republicans did not soften their tone after JFK's election. In 1964, they nominated Senator Barry Goldwater who was extremely conservative.

8. After the Goldwater blow-up,,

that party did try to change. Then Nixon and Lee Attwater blew it up. Their history of their aggression has been a steady ramp up since 72'. That a their association with the Evangelical Right Wing fundies,ushered in a forty year hate filled message reinforced by the Media.

5. The grief I feel about the breakup of the Republican party is immeasureable...

because it's non-existent.
