The GOP was founded as the successor to the Whigs. It represented Clay's American System of high tariffs, subsidization of politically connected banks and railroad promoters and various forms of crony capitalism and what Hamilton called ‘national grandeur’ projects. The Republicans were always the party of finance capital and heavy industry and big business in general. They later became the party of armament manufacturers. That is why the US Navy officer corps was overwhelmingly Republican for decades. The GOP was not particularly pro military but pro manufacturers of military hardware. The Army was the party the Dems favored until Viet Nam when they realized their voter Base was shifting right so ‘screw the dumb soldiers’ became one of their secret passwords. The Republicans continue to be loyal servitors of the US Chamber of Commerce which represents the low wage capitalists who know endless waves of turd world serfs mean US workers will never be able to challenge what ever deal they are offered. The current GOP is symbolized by the Bush family which uses a symbiotic relationship between politics and connected business and financial institutions to pile up wealth and power and despise the average American middle class person as much as old Prescott Bush ever did. They have just learned to smile and utter words such as’compassion’ , ‘acts of love’. etc.

Truth in every word! So it is now the imperative of true Conservatives who are devoid of the banking/ business nexus, to “vote the GOPE off the Island!” I heard one of the “Cock” Bros. on TV describing “their political philosophy.” Basically he said they back the Republicans only slightly more than the RATs because they can use them more effectively in the furtherance of their business interests. In other words, these cretins see America not as a country but simply as a convenient “customer base” for the stuff that the sell. They really are not concerned about America for its “founding principles,” but only that it continues to be a “good marketplace.”
