I’m sorry, but the Republican party needs to die. I have been one of the people who always shoot down the notion of a third-party. I’ve said in the past that a third-party, rather forming a third-party, only plays into the Democrats hands. But I don’t think there’s an option anymore. I’m not even sure who the hell the republican party as it’s currently constituted represents.

Flip this is how far the GOP has slipped. Granted the GOP platform excerpt is from almost 100 years ago but the USA was the and still is an industrial power.

Can you believe how our Republican ancestors were so pro working class????


GOP 1924 platform:

We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.

In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.


The GOP is dead. WE NEED A NEW PARTY.
