“Who cares?”
Exactly. The Republicans, as a party, need to be dumped and go the way of the Whigs.
They have no coherent philosophy and no reason for being except to raise enough money on trivial, phony issues to keep enough of their members in office to continue the gravy train. Let Rove lead the “Republican Party” wherever he wants, but let conservative Americans form a new party and go somewhere else.
Some will say, “OH NO! That will let the Dims win!” But of course, that is how Rove and his rent-seeking elite have sucked everyone in. And if I may point out, the Dims have been winning anyway! Rove doesn’t want to win to have a healthy Republic living by the Constitution. Rove wants to win to keep the money rolling in for himself and his elite friends.
The Whigs actually didn’t go away ~ they became 2 or 3 of the Republican party’s many factions ~ they are still there. A good chunk of them who focus almost exclusively on national financial policies are, in fact, a core group within the TEA Party.
