When I walked out of the voting booth on Novbember 6th, it suddenly hit me that the Republican Party is pretty much....nothing. I mean, who do they represent, really? I thought to myself, "Republicans--three R's and a P. Rich people, racists, religious fanatics and psychopaths, that's who they represent."
That's not a demographic that can win a national election ever again. Maybe there was such a thing as a "principled Republican" at one time, but any surviving examples of such creatures have long since left the GOP and become Democrats or Independents.
Time to pull the plug on 'em.
