The Republican party, more than the Democrats simply because of their ideology differences, has literally come to be owned and controlled by "big money", with that status having dynamically progressed over the last two decades to now be complete. They simply don't depend at all on support from the public, they depend on the support from "big money" to con and manipulate the voters and they then just give the public subterfuge to rationalize and justify. The deficit negotiations and their constant cocky confidence and arrogant attitudes are current examples; the manipulation of the Christian block (2000), the Swift-boat propaganda (2004) and the Tea Party extremes (2010 and now) are more, all demonstrating well designed, well financed and well organized manipulations of the public. To google "Grover Norguist / Anti-Tax pledge" on a computer provides a great insight into just how "big money" literally achieves its control; there they brag how they "make and break" politicians to gain their complete control and they really aren't the only one doing it. It is obvious that it never stops with just one issue, taxes or anything else, that really with the complete control they have they literally exercise their will. When they wanted to attack Iraq, we attacked Iraq; when they wanted no-bid contracts for Halliburton, Halliburton got no-bid contracts; when they wanted tax breaks and concessions for oil companies, oil companies got them; when they wanted favorable policy and laws for the energy industry, they got them; now they want all reforms to be fought and they are getting that now; on and on with the control working aggressively to favor the select few without any regard for the costs or value to the majority. The actual result is that the Republican representatives are literally "puppets" and we, the public, are effectively "pawns" with only the very powerful few running the game. To ignore that realty, to deny it in order to maintain loyalty, will just perpetuate and encourage it with all of the costs then going to the majority. Under the Republicans it is no longer a "government of the people, by the people for the people", it is simply the government of the few and we are literally their dutiful subjects.
The only weak point in their execution, if there actually is one, is that they are really dependent on being able to con and manipulate the public; they still need the votes. As an ex-long term Republican I don't want to see their demise but I just can't identify with or accept what they are now. I really want to see them encouraged to return to the Grand Ole Party and to have real concern for the people, as they once did. The only way that will ever happen is when the voters reject what they have become, to literally make their dependency on "big money" ineffective. The people have to check their emotions and deny them the ability to con and manipulate with their organized and deceptive appeals to biases, prejudices, fears and limited issues - understanding that when they are successful in getting support for even just one issue they have effectively gained support for everything they will do. The goal needs to be for the voters to take back control and make the politicians dependent on really satisfying the people and not just on satisfying those who successfully con and manipulate the people.
