The old GOP "Establishment" is going away. The GOP "Establishment" now consists of the

teabaggers, religious extermists, anti-government groups, and angry white racists. With Romney being rejected and Santorum leading in their polls now, the new GOP "Establishment" has a leader they can support. When the money comes his way from the SuperPACs who represent those factions and from other rich GOP people who see the support he is getting, he will have an easy time getting the nomination.

1. Hubby & I liked what we heard on Morning Joe:

The problem isn't the leading politicians, it's the Republican base which allows itself to be whipped up over insisting on vaginal probes, raging against birth control, keeping brain dead corpses alive, etc. Instead of jobs, the economy, fair taxation, etc.

9. Truly. If the danged people would stop voting for these nutjobs

they'd be relegated to the back pages. But no, people come out and vote and volunteer and donate money. Egad! They are the ones to blame. Seriously.

11. they need to stop voting for the brain dead politicians (zombies)

don"t they know their religion opposes zombies?

2. You left out that all important new group: Corporate people.

3. The corporate group doesn't care about any of the other groups because they have the most

money. To them its In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Green Back. As long as they get what they want that is where the money will go. Thanks supreme court you sure screwed the american people.

4. The corporate groups do indeed care about these people if they want them to continue

to vote on behalf of corporate interests rather than their own.

6. Yes until after the election is over. Remember Reagan and Bush I wanted the religious vote but

they were smart enough to know to keep them at arms length. As far as the holy Reagan, he is the least church going politicans.

7. Yep, and as his Faith Based Director wrote, Bush II routinely made fun of the religious vote

and had no intention of following through on the Religious Right's demands. I can't remember the guy's name, but he was a Chinese American who headed Faith Based Initiatives. He left the Bush administration disillusioned.

8. Your right but I can't remember it either. But you see just playing pattie cake with the religious

right has done to the party. They weren't going to take it anymore.

5. Currently, three types of Republicans exist:

Corporate-Fascists, Theocrats, and Neo-Confederates.

[AlinPA]

10. I believe that in numbers, the last two make up most of the GOP voters. I don't have the data but

assume most GOP voters are not in influential corporate roles.
