Will the GOP go the way of the dodo bird?
Will the GOP go the way of the dodo bird?
Date published: 9/21/2009 Will the GOP go the way of the dodo bird? Having read Chris Connelly's Sept. 13 Viewpoints piece ["Congress, Obama, ignore the American people at their peril"], I find Republicans more remarkable than ever. Mr. Connelly portrays himself and the rest of the vociferous right-wing Republicans as docile victims of an overbearing and egregious Democratic Party. Mr. Connelly cites as evidence Barney Frank's rejoinder to a woman's assertion concerning proposed health care reforms. Did anyone listen to what the woman said? Clearly, Rep. Frank's response alluding to a piece of household furniture was appropriate. Does Mr. Connelly find that fist-pounding, shouting, and fingers in the face are appropriate representations of an individual's feelings? Or were most of these demonstrations choreographed by such folks as Dick Armey? I don't know, but I have my suspicions. Mr. Connelly's silly op-ed is all of a piece with the current inability of the Having written this foolishness, Mr. Connelly places himself in the same orbit as Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and their ilk. It is too bad that we in America can no longer debate an issue based on objectivity, but must rely on lies, half-truths, and innuendo. The Republican Party may well go the way of the dodo bird and spawn--prior to its final demise--a new center moderate party, one in which Colin Powell and John McCain might play active roles. I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but rather an independent. Surprisingly, for all the talk concerning the "Founding Fathers," none of them belonged to a political party. It was the election of 1800 in which political parties raised their ugly heads and almost destroyed what the Revolution had built. James J. Good Spotsylvania

So what have you had to add to this discussion? You claim others bully folks but tou're the biggest name-calling bully on this forum. And you still haven't figured out that I'm not anonymos? I'm not surprised but one of these days you'll (maybe) figure it out. Have a great day Pubs and thanks for your daily jokes.

There is no such thing as a serious conversation with you. Nothing you say is of any substance, no question from you is without some juvenile motive, and no answer from you is trustworthy. At this point there is nothing you could say that could raise my opinion of you above zero, so unless it is as I suspect, a mental condition, you should know your efforts are futile. Your existance in here does nothing but cause strife and derisiveness. You add absolutely nothing to any intelligent debate. Run along now.

You don't want any incumbents, who do you want. Seriously, I am not trying to throw anyone under the bus and I know it is early, but who are leaders right now for non-democrats? I don't see any?
