Has the Republican Party gotten worse?
It seems like the Republicans at the current RNC convention are even angrier, nastier, and more hate-filled than before. They looked like a bunch of old, rabid dogs, foaming at the mouth and screaming for war and murder.

1. Yes, the old repugs were simply a bunch of crooks
Nixon and the like. Mafia in politics.

The new repukes (starting, really, with Reagan) are the American Taliban. Trust me, they wouldn't have any problem dragging the likes of you or me into the football stadium and "passing God's judgment" on our asses.

10. Well, they were pretty bad four years ago, too -- hard to say.
But compared to before that, yeah they are even worse.

2. YES......here's a book I recommend to help understand them:
John Dean's CONSERVATIVES WITHOUT CONSCIENCE.

After reading it, I finally understood my brother.

3. They see the Train Wreck coming but are in Denial thrashing about like chickens decapitated
grasping at the straws and leaves hoping for some sign of recovery

Sarah is their last hope....and she falls way short....

McCain should go from ZERO to HERO by conceding the election and joining the National Unity much mentioned of late..

Obama will make him an Ambassador to Tuva or Tonga...his choice?

But the stubborn ole fool won't do it...cling to fantasy he will....dufus

5. Are they worse, or are they just more open about it?
Nixon and his crew did things covertly (or at least tried to). This gang doesn't care if they get in your face.

Remember that they have Dumb-ya in the White House right now to issue the blanket pardons as they leave the premises.

7. Yes, they are now stripped down to a group of people who are untalented, got picked on in school,
have no friends, ingenuity, creativity, or initiative. They are the bitter, twisted, manipulated sheep of our society.

9. It's gotten viciously rabid... the fundie types are taking over or HAVE already.
They've all been Hannitized and are great Americans, and that's apparently all that matters to them.
