"if you are expecting any real opposition to MArxist AMerica it isn’t coming from the GOP."

Exactly right. Karl Marx was a huge fan of Lincoln and a guiding light of the early republican party. The GOP has always been a Marxist party underneath the makeup. To expect them to offer any resistance to Obama is laughable.

Obama is in office as a direct result of the efforts of the GOP. from their attempt to foist off the Marxist Rudy Giuliani as the candidate to their refusal to seat Paul delegates at the convention so that the Marxist McCain could be declared the candidate, verything the GOP bosses did during the campaign was aimed at handing Obama the Presidency.

The same GOP power structure did the same thing in '96 for Clinton. Nobody but a brain dead republican kool-aid drinker would have voted for Dronin' Bobby Dole, but he was the perfect soft pitch to Clinton.

Come on now people!!!!!!! Buchanan had it right when he said that the two parties were the two wings of the same bird of prey. The whole political system of the US is a joke, and a bad one at that. It is tag team politics as they say with the opposition party only pretending to care. The whole charade is like a good cop bad cop routine with the parties playing both roles depending on what special interest/racial group you are in. Ballot access laws are so biased towards the two major parties that any 3rd party has to use most of its war chest to just get on the ballot. You have two choices the way I see it: fight or flight. The only type of party that could even have the remotest chance of rallying a majority of Americans would have to have a facist party type organizational setup. Flags, marching songs, programs to help the poor, kids branches, hell even maybe uniforms and most importantly a clear cut political platform/agenda that allows for very little if any debate in intraparty politics. Of course this would all be a long shot, so the other choice flight might be the smarter of the two things to do. I would learn Spanish and hit Uruguay, Argentina, etc. Or if S America isn't your thing try Asia. I know this is defeatist talk, but if you are expecting any real opposition to MArxist AMerica it isn't coming from the GOP.

"A true conservative party would relish such an opportunity......

Is this Republican Party made of similar stuff?"

Hmmm, looking for a fighting party? Don't waste any time fooling along 'mongst the republicans. They only know how to fight their own base and hos to send the sons and daughters of those who trust them into criminal assaults on civilian populations.

As much as I despise Cheny and his sock puppet, W, I am grateful for the one good thing they accomplished: they drove a stake through the heart of the GOP. The GOP is done for. Thank heaven for that, at least. They'll be around to throw another election to Obama, then they'll officially merge with the democrats as they have always longed to do anyway.

@3 "Pelosi’s backpedalling (sic) today was utterly laughable."

Well, in a grim sort of way.

Does anyone else suspect that--cosmetically, anyway--Pelosi was separated at birth from the late Heath Ledger's Joker?

@1 John

That video was pathetic with a capital P! Are GOP voters that stupid? Oh, forget I asked, it was a rhetorical question.

Pelosi's backpedalling today was utterly laughable. BVlame Bush lite's CIA for Ms.-leading Madam Speaker. Her Argentine Khazar tycoon hubby will gin up the spin machine to absolve her of all stupidity. Does anybody know Pelosi's IQ?

#2. I'm reminded of how the first Prez Bush, during his amusing and losing re-election bid in 1992, came out one day and said: "Message: I care."

Well, I care because it's also amusing to watch the self-immolation of the GOP, a party whose main mission is to humiliate its own most loyal followers.

And to keep the laughs going, Cheney has crawled out from the woodwork to defend torture, with huzzahs from National Review -- as Obama eggs them all on. Christopher Manion points out that the GOP seems determined to make its 2010 losses as big as possible.

It is only because this website continues to publish every essay by PJB about the future of the GOP that I repeat here--for the third time very recently--who cares?!!! To that sentiment, I add this one: Why should anyone care?

It's touching that Pat still cares for the Party that cashiered him so many times. But there are some problems with his analysis.

For one, he didn't mention the 2002 midterm election, in which the party in power, the GOP, regained control of the Senate and increased its House majority by 8 seats. Bush and the Republicans, of course, leveraged fear after 9/11 to gain the victory, warning that the Democrats were weak and would allow more terrorists attacks.

Obama in 2010 also has fear going for him: fear of the economy getting even worse. He may be able to keep pinning the Bush Depression on the Republicans for another election, maybe for his re-election bid in 2012 as well. After all, it was Republicans' expensive wars and inflation to pay for them that were the major causes of the Bush Depression.

He'll be helped by Republicans, who so far haven't learned anything from losing in 2006 and 2008. Their latest commercial attacks Obama for closing Guantanamo, threatening that it could bring another 9/11. It begins with footage of the 9/11 attacks.

The GOP leaders seem to be hoping that another terrorist attack hits, so they can blame it on Obama and the Democrats. They're still using the 2002 playbook for 2010.

Republicans are the Party of Torture and Depression. They're tyrants and they deserve to keep losing and go out of business.
