[QUOTE="PatMeebles:498212"]ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]What's really funny is that, as many journalists and conservatives have pointed out, Nixon would have been considered too liberal a candidate for today's Republican party. The Republican party used to mean something completely different; there was political diversity, there were moderates, and they had many prominent leaders in the Northeast and other current "blue" states. Being Republican didn't mean you were necessarily conservative, and it certainly didn't mean you backed reactionary neo-con policies. Today, the Republican party, in terms of thought, politics, and polity, is something completely different. It consists merely of neo-conservative think tanks of the rich and entitled (none of whose families will ever see military service) that change foreign and domestic policy with the sole purpose of benefitting big business, and whoever they can trick into following their propoganda. Most of the people they trick are religious fundamentalists, who are vulnerable due to their zealotry, but after enough endless propoganda, many other more well-adjusted and well-read people slowly began to sympathize with and defend their positions, and that's what we've seen over the last five years. Sadly enough, it is a mirror image of what we see in the Middle East with the terrorist movement: a minority of rich and entitled idealogues who want to change policy (Bin Laden/Zawahiri/etc.), and whoever they can trick into following their propoganda. Most of the people they trick are religious fundamentalists, who are vulnerable due their zealotry, but after enough endless propoganda, many other more well-adjusted and well-read people slowly begin to sympathize with and defend their positions, and that's what we've seen over the last five years. [/QUOTE] Of course, Joe Leiberman getting kicked out of the Democrats has no effect on this statement whatsoever. Nope. not at all. And, you forget how many differing opinions there are when it comes illegal immigration, spending, etc. Republicans go from Lincoln Chaffee to Tom Coburn. Democrats go from Tom Harkin to Zell Mil... oh wait, Democrats hate him, too. Gee, it's almost like Republicans actually have a better grasp on "big tent" politics than Democrats do. Your whole post is moot.[/QUOTE]
