The Merciful End of the Corrupt GOP?
RobertRinger.com ^ | March 15, 2016 | Robert Ringer

The Republican Party appears to be thrashing about like a wild beast in the final stages of its death throes. For those of us who are repulsed by politicians, political parties, and the odious political process, it’s quite entertaining to watch.

(Before proceeding, it’s important to point out that what people think of as the Republican Party is really just a wing of what I have been referring to since 1979 as the Demopublican Party — an oligarchy with two wings, the Democratic wing that sets the agenda and the Republican wing whose main function is to help implement that agenda.)

Of course, such a fraud would not be possible were it not for the fact that our rulers put a great deal of time and effort into providing great theater that diverts the public’s attention from the truth. And the most important aspect of this theater is that the two factions of the Demopublican oligarchy gratuitously pretend to be at odds with one another.

But make no mistake about it — all members in both wings of the party fully understand the importance of the theater aspect of the political game, never losing sight of the fact that their overarching, joint objective is to stay in power. Everything else about the game is secondary. The unspoken understanding among Demopublicans is, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. And if you refuse to play the game, you can be sure that you won’t be around long.”

Nevertheless, the Republican wing of the party has been dying a slow death since the end of the Calvin Coolidge era. Coolidge was the last great U.S. president, a fervent believer that the government’s role was to stay the hell out of the way, hence his slogan: “The business of America is business.”

Still no word of 100+ RINO house members facing primary opposition, or any candidate supporting their competitors if there are.

Not sure how he can.

He's going to make great deals, amazing deals, wonderful deals.

I have always voted Republican and always because they're not quite as bad as the Democrats. 

Palin was my Trump and McCain was the very last time.

I'm spamming a few threads with this one:

I now fully understand the basis of the so-called Democrat/Republican divide: The Dems take out the minorities, while the Pubs take down the whites.

We know that Democrats have spent decades telling blacks that the poison they prescribe them is a cure. Now I see that the Republicans have been poisoning the whites, with supposedly pro-growth economic policies that in practice destroy the white working and middle classes. It has simply taken the Republicans longer to achieve their goals because white society had a much healthier foundation than minority societies, especially black society, did. That foundation included a Republican party that needed infiltration.

It has taken a few more generations but the uniparty is very close to their goals now. It’s a very frightening, tenuous time. We have overslept the alarm. Wake up!!!

That quote is from “Tragedy and Hope”. No, I did not Google that. I know that, from reading the book.

Trump winning will not defeat the GOPe. It will only have the effect of them moving to Mordor to regroup and come out in force next time and earlier in the cycle to head off any interlopers. The party needs to die, but it needs to be killed from within because that is the cancer. The candidates they try and push on us are the result of that cancer.

What has kept us dead is a dearth of conservative ideas for a coherent agenda for change, reform and greatness for America. So this author’s image of the parties being one bird with two wings - democrats with the agenda and ideas and the GOP to help implement it, is a perfect analogy.

We have some conservative think tanks, but as we have seen during this election, they are nothing but ravishing liberal globalists without a conservative or American bone in their bodies. They hate Americans.

Money is concentrated in the hands of a group of National and International socialist globalists and they have bought and stuffed that bird we call our eagle. They are fixin’ to feast.

We have no country at the moment. But we hope the eagel can be revived. We hope Trump can revive it because he’s talking and acting like an American and has all the right enemies. He has an agenda that would untangle us from the oppression and poverty of globalism. But who knows, really, if it is not too late.

Reagan was clearly a deviation from the GOP standards. He was several cuts above.

When the Whigs went away and the GOP replaced it, was probably a good thing for the Republic.

Likewise, so will this handoff of the torch be.

Now if only something could make the Democrat Party fade into history.

Reverse the title and it makes sense: The Merciful End of the Corrupt DEMOCRATS? Describes Hillary and her anti-Constitutionalist Party.
