Facts On The Ground Show Little Cause For Republican Optimism

eskieville1,

Points well taken. Some would say the boomers taught their unsupervised brats well.

Like a majority of Americans, I have seen the enemy...and it's GOP!

[eskieville1]

l8c6, when Reagan was elected most Boomers were still quite young! The political cycle was changing to conservative--see my original post. The current republicans are farther to the right of even Reagan!! The Christian right and Nixon's original election stratege of 1968 of Bringing the conservative South to the Republican party is also a factor in this political shift. It is not a total Boomer screw-up! If you think the Boomers were the me generation I have found that the following generations of young people were no different-trust me I teach high school AP History classes! Got to go --Regards, eskieville1

What's ms. Mona to do? How much can anyone of these distort. They gotta think about their futures too.

Mona doesn't get a promo from me. I can read her values.

When the National Review calls it "failed leadership," wow, you know they're in trouble.

How alarming is it that this mouthpiece phrases it, "Democrats are now (ALAS) the party of the rich?" Republican Fascists scare me. But Ms. Charen inadvertently provides hope.

People say the media never report good news. This is evidence that's not true.

marcodele,

The dems went moderate which was really republican and the extreme fascist neo con right trampled them. I thought Clinton was so Republican I couldn't figure out what they hated about him. Multinational corporate empires are forming and this pro-business, business can do no wrong, free market is from God deceipt is going to destroy democracies on a global scale.

l8c6, I am a Boomer! I am as worried about the future as anybody younger than I am!! I hate to tell you this but most Boomers were not hippie pot smokers. Most Boomers supported the Civil Rights movement. Boomers lived through the Vietnam era--not fun. We endured the most tumultuous decade of the 20th century. Are we the most self -endulgent generation? Probably, but I can sure find fault with the generations behind me if I choose to do so. So --please lighten up on the Boomers.

The american people will defend a country governed in a manner that represents them. The divisiveness and fear mongering of your right wing fascism will not win wars against true enemies.

Where did all the millions and billions of our dollars go on the fumbled privatized reconstruction projects of Iraq? How is it the infrastructure of this country has been allowed to deteriorate over the past 25 years? Who got richer? Where did the money go? Follow the money, it tells the story.

We must choose our battles wisely and borrow our funds wisely as well. The right wing neo con deceit has done neither.

Hitler bankrupted Germany and so did King Ludwig before him.

I would welcome centrist republicans and centrist democrats. Unfortunately this country has become so polarized under "the great uniter" that the two extremes grow further apart. I suppose you can blame the 'liberal media' which is apparently anyone except Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and Anne Coulter, or you can blame those radical right wing neocon nutjobs themselves for the current screaming match in network news.

Either way, this country needs to move toward the middle and it doesn't appear to be doing so.

Please, someone tell where the CENTRIST Republicans are?

Many Americans today have been enlightened by the two wars we find ourselves involved. One war, the "war on terrorism", finds its main battleground in Afghanistan, and it is a war that costs lives and money but the majority of Americans support. Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives, most don't have a problem with us kicking down the doors of members of the Taliban.

When talking about the war in Iraq the parties have much difference. Democrats say that the public and congress was mislead to justify the war in Iraq and that the Bush Administration no longer deserves autonomy in situations where US service men and women's lives are on the line. Based on the results of the last Congressional elections, most Americans see a problem with GOP/Republicans; at least in the way they make decisions about the use of our military.

So why is it that in the GOP/Republican party there are no dissenters, no independent thinkers, no moderates? Where are the real conservatives who would laugh at how conservatively the current Republican party has been spending taxes, and creating big government? Has the Republican Party lost its identity? Can the ideology of the GOP be so easily summed up in Karl Rove talking points like %u201Csupport this and support that%u201D, and angry rhetoric like %u201Cliberals are traitors%u201D?

Hello centrist Republicans! Anybody out there?
