(27,312 posts)really did a number on the family name. I was told Jeb was a much better politician than W but W ran for president because he didn't want to be outdone by his younger brother. A rerun of Bush vs. Clinton would make a good number of peoples heads in this country explode.

(28,270 posts)Its a southern based regional party made up mainly of racists and religious right fascists. The only thing that unites them is their hatred of the poor, the unemployed, the immigrant, gay, women, non whites and all people not a part of the 1%.
IOW almost everybody!
The 1%ers used to call all the shots in this pathetic little party but the teabaggers and hate radio whom they created ran amok and took over. Frankenstein doesn't obey his master any longer and their evil party is paying the price.
If 1%er Jebby, racist Ayn Rand worshiper Paul and insane, egomaniac, non natural born Canadian citizen Carnival Cruz are their top three, well, all I can say is... !!!!!!
