Democrats hate property, fine...but what do republicans stand for now?
Since the Goldwater inspired victory of Ronald Reagan a generation ago, and Newt Gingrich's similarly generated 1994 victory the republicans have degenerated from a libertarian based conservatism to what is now perceived to be a corrupted group of baseless, hypocritical, quasi pseudo religious, drifting numskulls.
The republicans are Hastert and Foley and Delay and Cheney today, not Reagan and Goldwater.
The Globe reports:
Ironically today we can see the democrats have doubled down on their identity since 1972, but the republicans ..symbolized by the drifting meaninglessness of the Bush foreign policy right now. Ideas disconnected from reality, and vague, inconsistent ideas at that.
Religion is not a substitute for conservative ideas. It has a place AMONG SOME conservative ideas, but that is all, and this forms a major part of (churchgoing) Americans looking away from the GOP. Moralizing while schtupping pages, and then passing laws about your sick relatives, is NOT conservative anything.
The venal and sensual degrading of some of the congressional members, and senatorial members and others in the GOP are iconic of a loss of motive force, and have become a symbol of what the public sees, and no amount of carping about media can dissuade from that conclusion.

The Globe reports:
In the 14 years since 1994, scandals, corruption, big spending, hypocritical religious moralizing and a spiritless ideal-less stupefying sleep walking has overtaken that party.In national elections, Republican candidates count on a big money advantage over Democrats. Not this year. Fund-raising by Republicans is down sharply from past election cycles.
