Or the GOP is.

This right here:
The Republican party rarely misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Really says it all. For example, why isn’t the GOP preaching the gospel of capitalism to the immigrants who came here for the opportunity to work? Why isn’t the GOP generating massive cognitive dissonance over the fact that many immigrants are devout Catholics, yet seem to vote for Democrats who believe it’s ok to kill babies in the womb? Where are the GOP ads and financial support for candidates who stand for the traditional values of the Republican party?

I say again:

The Republican party rarely misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Absolutely! We have the best values system. Our side doesn’t try to sell them. Why?

We keep coming up short on the liberal give-aways, and the next election we do it all over again.

We should have modeled ourselves somewhat after Ross Perot. Stick to the facts. Tell our story. Make it as clear as you can, and appeal to the better nature of people.

Instead we keep trotting out John McCain in some form or another. It’s nauseating.

Wonderful statement. They do need to be more optics-oriented. Too smart for their own good.

“why isn’t the GOP preaching the gospel of capitalism “

Because capitalism is not a god and there is no gospel.

In fact, capitalism is a ruthless method of maximizing value. It has no soul, it has not pity for the losers, it has no compassion. And if you happen to be one of the losers, well BOO HOO AND TOO BAD FOR YOU.

Capitalism is efficient but it is not the be all end all goal of human life.

The GOP does not teach anymore. They are not about policy. They are about being bought and paid for by the highest bidder.

“...why isn’t the GOP preaching the gospel of capitalism to the immigrants who came here for the opportunity to work?”

Could it be the welfare they can collect just be being here?
