Do you consider the Republican Party a criminal enterprise?

[Cyrano]

I sure as hell do.

Perhaps it was not so before St. Ronnie came along. But ever since, we've experienced stolen elections -- robbing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich -- treating the Constitution like toilet paper -- invading Iraq for their oil -- ignoring all congressional subpoenas -- shooting a man in the face with a shotgun and telling the police to come back tomorrow -- driving a coffin nail into New Orleans for the profit of developers? And this doesn't even cover their war crimes.

The list is far to extensive to continue here. But we are talking about a criminal conspiracy that makes the Mafia look like saints.

And worst of all is the incredible imbeciles in this country who vote for them again and again and again. The irony is that the majority of these voters are those getting screwed the worst.

I suppose my conclusion is that the human species is a momentous evolutionary mistake. Does anyone have a better explanation?

1. Ever since old man Potter tried to foreclose on the savings & loan

Republicans have been nothing but no good for this country

2. CONServative rethugs are definitely criminals.

criminals have no problem finding plenty of henchmen.

3. Yes

4. There was movie by Mike Judge

called "Idiocracy" where a man is sent into the future where everyone is stupid. Ignorant people have more children in America and therefore the ignorance factor is steadily increasing. That may be explanation. Stupid people are breeding.

6. By Republican Party do you mean the relatively small cabal

running the party and our government or the large number of members, including some (but not all) elected officals with an R after their name? Yes to the first, no to the second.

and shut them down or ban them from holding public office. They are beyond contempt in their criminality.

I was wondering when someone was going to join me...

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Yes

[VP505]

10. I don't know if I would call them

a criminal enterprise but they certainly don't let anything, including the law get in the way of winning. What bothers me more is that our Democratic leaders choose to ignore that fact and continue to operate as if everyone was playing by the rules in spite of having their noses rubbed in the illegality, immorality and lawlessness.

[Kitty Herder]

11. Yes.

And they should be treated like any other criminal cabal. Broken up and tossed in jail.

:dilemma: quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, is it a duck?
