The GOP needs to be laid to rest!

Sounding more like a liberal/Democrat, but I am not, I want the Republicans to be completely routed from power and eliminated as a political party of power since they squandered their power from 1994 to 2006 and did nothing to check that Republican President of complete nonsense, Bush 43. They sent out of balance budget after out of balance budget, and Bush 43 signed everyone.

The complete rout of the Republican Party next week is necessary in order to show what happens when you ignore your core values and ethics. The GOP needs to be put to sleep and a more conservative, more principled and aggressive party needs to rise from the ashes.

The new conservative party needs to be as mean, focused, and driven as the current Democratic Party. It will need to be ruthless and take no prisoners. It will have to be completely different from the mealy-mouthed Republican Party that Abe Lincoln would laugh at today.

This may be hard for Republicans and Conservatives to understand or accept, but when something is useless and putrefied, it needs to be buried not carried around like some "Weekend at Bernie's" zombie.

How did the GOP come to this point in their history? The politician that started the demise was Speaker Newt Gingrich. He had the legislative world by the tail when he architected the "Contract with America" sweep of the Congress in 1994 to counter-balance the co-Presidency of Billary (Bill and Hillary Clinton). Remember her very poor showing at trying to nationalize health care in 1993?

What did Gingrich do? Gingrich had the extreme arrogance of doing the exact same thing that he had leveled at then Speaker Jim Wright: milking a book deal for his own personal advantage. When the voters saw that even the Republican Speaker was that political and unethical, they started losing patience with the GOP.

From there is was scandal after scandal culminating in the influence peddling case of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the manner in which Bush 43 unfortunately politicized the Iraqi War. Finally, the financial crisis of 2008 was laid at the doors of the GOP even though the Democrats such as Dodd and Frank had their finger prints all over the smoking gun, the GOP failed to make the case and let the Democrats and their operatives walk all over them.

Do you see why the GOP needs to be put down like a aged, but beloved dog that it is. When it is hurting and useless, I say, put it down. Let the Phoenix rise from its corpse hopefully with a renewed sense of purpose and focus. If not, well then
