The GOP Failure: Part Two!

“Righteousness exalts a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34

So; where did the GOP go wrong? Actually; where did they go right? The GOP takes the moral high ground but yet they have several office holders during the past eight years (and beyond) that proved to be moral reprobates, and the last two candidates, McCain and Palin are no exceptions to the continued immorality that pervades the quasi moralistic GOP! Don’t exposit morals when members of your party are amoral! In review from part 1 we ended on the amorality of the GOP. So, what about the last two candidates fielded by the GOP for the office of President and Vice-President, what are they doing? Well, McCain is in therapy for his loss (the GOP does not handle losses very well either) and Palin is taking Fifth Grade classes to catch up and be better prepared should the GOP be stupid enough to knock on her door again! For crying out loud GOP she’s a (quasi) beauty queen, and comparatively speaking where does that take you intellectually? Duh! Remember Miss Teen USA 2007 – South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton? And these two were compared (accurately?) during the election cycle! Need I say more?

Now, to get back to point as to the loss suffered by the GOP in the Presidential race, some Senate seat races et al. The classic example and criminal mentality of Alaska, can be found in defeated (finally!) Ted Stevens. Stevens although convicted of seven felonies was almost re-elected by Alaska voters. The percentages were Begich 47.76 percent and Stevens 46.58 percent. That dear people is only 1.18%! A very narrow margin! So, Alaska voters (46.58% anyway) are willing to overlook the criminality of Ted Stevens, and that says a lot about the mentality of Alaska citizens. This of course was confirmed by the academic exposure of their Governor, you betcha Sarah Palin! I think the constituency in Alaska vote with their other head, not the one that sits on their shoulders either. So, this is a major obstacle for the GOP, crooks and convicted felon (s) in their party. Remember that McCain was/is an adulterer by confession and also a traitor on record. You want this for your party’s representation? This was/is another problem for the GOP.

What about Mark Foley? Foley the U.S. Representative from Florida engaged in sexually-explicit SMS text-messaging with 17-YO males, former pages. Can the GOP justify and sustain such conduct and still be a viable political party? And of recent memory is that old foot tapping/touching Ex-Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig. Is this the kind of conduct that best exemplifies the GOP? Can the GOP regain their lost political ground with this in the party? Personally, I am so disgusted by the behavior of elected officials at every level in the GOP that I could not vote for them in the last election. And, I have been a staunch Republican all of my political life beginning at the age I could first vote, 21! I could not even hold my nose this election cycle and vote for the likes of McCain et al. I most certainly could not vote for the other party either. I do like President-Elect Obama, however, I cannot concur with some of his political policies or ideologies. His selections for Cabinet positions go beyond reason. How can he tout change while bringing back Clinton posers and wannabes? Do we need a second dose of the Clinton travesty? I think not! I will have more to say next time!
