Republican Party Passes Away

Washington - The Republican Party also known as the "GOP" passed away yesterday at the age of 154. Long regarded as the founding base for fiscal and social Conservatives, the party's life was cut short by its offspring with the naming of Senator John McCain as the new leader of a recently born effort called "The Consocialists", in an effort to distort and erase the true principles that were once clearly defined in the Republican Party platform.

A rolling over of the grave ceremony is expected to take place nationwide in memory of the Republican Party on November 4th. Expected to take part in the ceremony include such former members as Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, John C. Fremont, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight D. Eisenhower among others.

Burial will take place at the Capitol Steps in Washington,D.C. on January 20th, 2009 with services being administered by the Democratic National Committee.

The ceremony will commence with a reading of the Oath of Office by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.

Donations are not necessary, if you wish to send flowers it is recommended you leave them at the grave personally as you will face a death tax after the Oath of Office is read.

Arrangements made by RINO/CINO and the North American Union Alliance.

Ah, but we can learn from history. We started to build a counterculture under Clinton, but it was co-opted under Bush. We have to rebuild and clean house. We have to reject inauthentic elements of the conservative movement, such as Fox News and the Weekly Standard. They can be useful but are clearly not a reliable part of the movement.

RIP

Seriously, what is up with all these whiny, "it's all over" vanities? I don't know who taught you folks that quitting is ok, but I would suggest you stop listening to them.

The Republican leadership is committed to amnesty for 20 million new Democrat voters.

The Republican Party will cease to exist as a political force when those voters hit the voting booth, but hey, the good news is that the Country Club Republicans will be able to hire cheap labor at $5 an hour.

Hmm, really? Corrupt though he was, I don’t recall Grant advocating a massive expansion of the welfare state. Or Fremont, Taft, Harding, Coolidge, Reagan, or Eisenhower.

Nixon was a liberal Republican. In fact, McCain resembles Nixon in economics, politics, and temperament.

Look, if you are going to type up some fantasy, you should really go for the gold. Like this:

The Republican Party is committed to amnesty for 2000 gaBILLION new Democrat voters.

The Republican will instead become a side show at your local Chuck E Cheese where you can have the Bear band play Metallica for $5 an hour.

Sorry, I refuse to mourn for a self actioned “suicide by liberal” victim.

Rush sets down a marker: The McCain debacle is not our fault. It's the fault of the Republican establishment which abandoned conservatism.

Big-Tent GOP's Failure to Uphold Conservatism Caused This Mess

Except your history isn't right: The Republicans were the party of "big government" in the mid- to late-1800s, supporting high tariffs, federal support to schools, businses subsidies (especially to railroads), and income taxes.

In TR's time, they supported anti-business legislation and justice department attacks on business and introduced the first "environmental" legislation. It wasn't until Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge that the Republicans really became the "party of business" and low taxes. Historically speaking, the modern-day Republicans are closer to those of Lincoln's time than they are those of Reagan's or Coolidge's time.

"Seriously, what is up with all these whiny, "it's all over" vanities?"

Hope against Hope, and in all vanity, I think we honestly BELIEVE that someone from the RNC will actually read these posts and GET A CLUE!

I know, I know; you don't need to tell me; nobody from the "RNC" (as if there really is such a thing) is going to actually read anything we post here.

FR is now a big magnet for liberal trolls posing as conservatives.

It's worse than that. There are Freepers from 1998 here, POSTING EVERY DAMN DAY ONE VANITY AFTER ANOTHER, all saying the same, exact, boring, whiny garbage. I won't vote. I will endure 8 years of Hillary. I am holding my breath! You can't make me!

Not one of them take any responsibility for what's happened, they blame everyone else, oh noes, woe is me, RIP Republican party, etc. Most conservatives I've dealt with over the years specialize in dealing with reality, whether it's challenging or easy.
