What’s Up GOP?

Submitted by ub on

How is it that Republicans today claim they love the USA but manage to hate the majority of law-abiding folks living in our America?

It was 21 months ago today that Republicans taught a mob to prey on Democracy because they did not like who most of the registered voters voted for on the last USA election day. Every single member of the GOP in Congress voted against measures to lower costs for Americans. They are working with Saudi Arabia and Russia. Republicans run for public office for financial gains by helping the rich and seeking fame and fortune. And American citizens shouldn’t be passive political spectators. Remember to register and vote in November. Indict Trump, shut down Truth Social, Impeach Clarence Thomas & Cannon. Retire Moscow Mitch.  Send DeSantis and Abbott as well ad Boebert and MTG packing.

Truth be told, I have no political affiliation, but I was recruited and served in Washington DC at the pleasure of Republican President George HW Bush. He was the best-qualified GOP Commander in Chief ever. He served in the US military, in Congress, as Chairman of The Republican Party, as UN Ambassador, as Director of the CIA, as VP of the USA, and ultimately as POTUS. How's that for a CV?

Papa Bush's father Prescott Sheldon Bush was an investment banker and U.S. senator from Connecticut, and his mom was Dorothy Walker Bush, a young member of a prominent St. Louis, Missouri, family. Her father established the amateur golf competition known as the Walker Cup. The young Bush grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and attended private schools there and in Andover, Massachusetts. Upon graduation from Phillips Academy, Andover, he joined the U.S. Naval Reserve. He served from 1942 to 1944 as a torpedo bomber pilot on aircraft carriers in the Pacific during World War II, flying some 58 combat missions; he was shot down by the Japanese in 1944. For his service, he won the Distinguished Flying Cross. In January 1945 he married Barbara Pierce Barbara Bush.

Following the family tradition, Bush attended Yale University, graduating in 1948. His membership in the Skull and Bones secret society there later became an issue that his critics used as evidence of elitism. Rejecting a position in his father’s firm, he moved with his young family to Texas and became a salesman of oil field supplies. He co-founded the Bush-Overbey Oil Development Company (1951), the Zapata Petroleum Corporation (1953), and the Zapata Off-Shore Company (1954).

In 1959 GHWB became active in the Republican Party in Houston. After losing a campaign for the U.S. Senate to Democrat Ralph Yarborough in 1964, Bush was elected in 1966 to a safely Republican seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. He gave up the seat in 1970 to run again for the Senate. He was defeated again, this time by Democrat Lloyd Bentsen, Jr. Shortly after his defeat, Bush was appointed by Pres. Richard M. Nixon to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (UN; 1971–72). In 1973, as the Watergate Scandal was erupting, Bush became chairman of the Republican National Committee. In this post, he stood by Nixon until August 1974, when he joined a growing chorus of voices calling on the president to resign.

So what has happened to Bush and Cheney's Grand Old Party? The modern Republican Party today includes conservativescentristsfiscal conservativeslibertariansneoconservativespaleoconservativesright-wing populistsMAGARepublicans, and social conservatives.

Political scientists characterize the Republican Party as more ideologically cohesive than the Democratic Party, which is composed of a broader diversity of coalitions.

In 2018, Gallup polling found that 69 percent of Republicans described themselves as "conservative", while 25 percent opted for the term "moderate", and another 5 percent self-identified as "liberal". When ideology is separated into social and economic issues, a 2020 Gallup poll found that 61 percent of GOP and Republican-leaning independents called themselves "socially conservative", 28 percent chose the label "socially moderate", and 10 percent called themselves "socially liberal".

On economic issues, the same 2020 poll revealed that 65 percent of Republicans or Republican leaners chose the label "economic conservative" to describe their views on fiscal policy, while 26 percent selected the label "economic moderate", and 7 percent opted for the "economic liberal" label.

In addition to splits over ideology, the 21st-century Republican Party can be broadly divided into an establishment and anti-establishment wings. Nationwide polls of Republican voters in 2014 by the Pew Center identified a growing split in the Republican coalition, between "business conservatives" or "establishment conservatives" on one side and "steadfast conservatives" or "populist conservatives" on the other.

We predict that if the Democrats win a majority’s in both houses they would have plenty of rights to protect and wrongs to correct.

The so-called leader of the GOP has one last time in his life to get attention. He would run and do anything he wants because he is not planning to win. He would definitely try once again to steal the election because that would be fun to him.

His friends in Saudi Arabia and Russia the impaler will help him any way he can if he is still in any kind of scam.
