Even Republicans Recognize That the GOP Has Become a Party of Looney Oddballs

Another OP by crabby trying to put down the GOP. Could it be that he knows the DNC has become the party of crooks, liars and cronyism? Could it be his last gasp to relish democrats in power? The truth is, crabby knows of the large contingent running for the GOP nod is the next POTUS who will render the DNC the party of the past? Could it be he's seen the handwriting on the walls of the Oval Office?

Me thinks crabby is close to giving up the ghost and afraid he'll see tighter border control. Less spending. Bigger military. And an end to Obamacare as he once knew it?

Get a grip crabby. The loons have come home to roost...:laugh:

OldR, how about addressing the real topic. What can the GOP do to change the perception of the American people that they are becoming a party of loonies? If they continue to go down in the eyes of the public it does not matter if the Democrats also have loonies. Perception translates into votes in the elections. So, please address the real topic. Thanks.

And if the OP is correct...

Why is the great white hope Hillary losing to just about every Republican in swing states in polling?

Thanks for a typical unthinking, irrational reply. I would say more, but it is useless. There is no hope of a normal discussion with you. I give up to ever having a good, normal discussion with you.


If you cannot tolerate different views than your own and it always drives you to this much anger than you are right.

It did match the content. Thread titles are not meant to be exhaustive. Your expectation is unrealistic. Deal with the content of the thread and move on. Your complaints are silly and only creates unnecessary strife.

Says the title police.

Feeling unduly chastised lately? :laugh:

The great white hope! That's a good one! The Democrats are run by a bunch of rich elderly whites.

Hillary, the great white hope--she will make the whole country just like socialistic Scandinavia or at least just like Minnesota. The great white hope, gentrified socialism, white style.

I did. I said the "Loonies" have come home to roost! And that applies to both parties.

If ever there were an election cycle that could see a third party challenger win the office of POTUS, it will be in 2016.

Dems are fed up with the elected dems. GOP's are fed up with elected repubs! It is time for someone, maybe Trump. to start a third party and take it to DC!

Wait till they find that buried skeleton in The Donalds closet and start squeezing the gonads. Then we will see if he can play hard ball. :) This ones for keeps guys. Will you support him when push comes to shove. Will you support his marital infidelities, his secular views on religion, his bankruptcies....blah blah blah and thats just scraping the surface. I dont think the scummy American system has even begun to roll out the big guns....but they will!

$10,000,000,000 covers up a lot of problems from the old days.

To use a baseball analogy, this is a spring training season and nothing more.

Hillary is not going to implode or be bogged down by scandals. The Democrats are going to nominate her no matter what.

Notice that McConnell didn't even bother to deny that he lied. The GOP has their own internal problems but any of the current field would be better than Hillary who is as crooked as a snake.

So far, I find the GOP good old boys to be philanderers and deceptive. They were voted back into the majority, and they have done nothing but politics as usual.

I am willing to give the guy a chance because I believe Trump will SURROUND himself with the best possible people, people who will make Trump look good, while they fix what's wrong with America!

Something inside me says Trump really cares about America, and he will not play the same games.

We'll know tons more after they Fox debate next week. Trump will either lose his cool and flip his wig, or he will be well coached, follow his handlers and impress another 15% of the electorate. We'll see if he can follow a script, or die on the stage.

I certainly hope so....but what does he stand to gain by all this? Is it the idealistic thinking that he can change anything.....truly what can he change with the do nothing congress always undermining efforts? Also I am stressing that, when push comes to shove, and they collude together, will he fold like a house of cards (remember Ross Perot) of will he stand and face the adversary? Time will tell Paul, time will tell!

The Democrats have Honest Hillary, Young Bernie Sanders, and Crazy Uncle Joe as their leading candidates so I guess they can say that elderly white Democrats are not wackos.

For a minute there I thought you were talking about "Good Ole Joe" that Franklin Roosevelt doted on and gave Eastern Europe.

And in their haste all missed the most important point in the OP. Wonder if they will ever figure it out?
The following describes the whacko's in the democrat party!

Not long ago, Americans from both sides of the aisle came together to protect unborn children from the unspeakable cruelty of partial-birth abortion. Many are still unable to forget the conscience-stirring images and diagrams showing an unborn child being partially delivered and then killed before fully emerging from the birth canal. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed that partial-birth abortion was incompatible with our nation’s character and upheld a ban on the procedure.

But partial-birth abortion is not the only method of abortion that should shock us and give rise to action. Particularly gruesome are dismemberment abortions of living unborn children, a common and brutal form of dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion.

A key component of the Right to Life Movement’s legislative agenda in 2015 is the “Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act,” recently introduced in Kansas. The accounts of abortionists themselves give a glimpse into the true horror of dismemberment abortions and why they must be stopped.

Forceps with sharp metal jaws are used to grasp parts of the developing baby, which are then twisted and torn away. Because the baby’s skull has often hardened to bone by this time, the skull must sometimes be compressed or crushed to facilitate removal.

In testimony before a Congressional committee, former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino described performing a D&E abortion:

“A second trimester D&E abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp and grasping anything you can. At twenty weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard – really hard. You feel something let go and out pops a fully formed leg about 4 to 5 inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs.”​

Infamous abortionist Dr. Martin Haskell, who pioneered the partial-birth abortion method and has also performed D&E abortions, noted

“It’s not unusual at the start of D&E procedures that a limb is acquired first and that that limb is brought through the cervix … prior to disarticulation and prior to anything having been done that would have caused the fetal demise up to that point.”​

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a co-founder of the organization now known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, offered this description:

“The D&E is performed by breaking the bag of water with a pointed instrument thrust through the partly dilated cervix, then inserting grasping and tearing instruments into the womb. The fetus is then quartered, the torso isolated and disemboweled. The head is crushed and extracted in pieces.”​

Nathanson continues by describing the conclusion of the process, following the dismemberment of the unborn child:

“This completes the procedure save for the abortionist reassembling all the removed parts on a side table adjoining operating table. The fetus must be reconstructed to verify that all the vital parts have been removed with nothing of significance left within the womb to perpetuate bleeding and or become infected.”​

The above is what anyone who votes democrat supports. I realize that the democrat party hierarchy is largely anti-Christian and the party as a whole is becoming completely secular but there are professing Christians who support this "party of death"! The above makes what ISIS does look mild!

You are still missing the important point in the OP ... or are refusing to admit the point. In politics it is all about public perception. If public perception is against you, you will not win the election.

Your self-righteous attitude reminds me of the opening prayer Carlyle Marney prayed at the opening of a SBC convention. It was short and to the point.

He said, "Lord, let us be as great as we think we are."

You keep saying this over and over...

But the fact is that the Repulicans walked all over the Democrats in the last round of elections.

What makes you think that you have the correct read of the public perception?

It is you who are self righteous Mr. Crab.

It is you who continually brag about how much you care about the poor and downtrodden. It is you who continually lie that the democrat party is the party of compassion even as they celebrate the horror that was described in the link I posted earlier. It is you who support the president, Obama, who supported infanticide as an Illinois State Senator. It is you who lie saying those who support the Republican party care nothing for the poor in our country; you lie about this even though you know that Republicans give far more to charity than the democrats.

In all honesty your support of the slaughter of the unborn child, vividly described in the above link, shows your true character!

The Republican part is having a problem because of the establishment guys like Boehner and McConnel as well as guys like McCain. They are no longer trusted and are not seen as conservative.

So do you agree with Trump that McCain was not a patriot because he was captured by the communists in Viet Nam? hat's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. I suppose you think GW Bush was a war hero because he used his father's influence to get into the Air Force national Guard and then was AWOL during his service time.

Strawman alert!

Probably because you just made it up.

Non sequitur



Eighteen months ago, TAC publisher Ron Unz discovered an astonishing account of the role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books.
