It appears that pleasing your whacko-Conservative base may not be the end-all, be-all when it comes to Republican politics, even in the Red-State districts of South Carolina.
The big S.C., fresh of its heals from the its “next big thing†governor-turned-scandal-prone-embarrassment, Mark Sanford (here is the Fox, I mean Fixed, News story) is growing tired of its high profile morons and the tide may be turning for entrenched Republicans. Huff-Po did a story on the logistics and it doesn’t bode well for the Rightie Whackos.
Could it be that the Republican line of BS is not playing well, even in the Red-States?
I wouldn’t buy property in rural Alabama just yet. Still, the tide seems to be turning even regionally against the Republican’s grand strategy of appealing to Middle-Class White Voters in the South.
Let me put it this way. Picture the Cleveland Indians stacked full of Dominican and Puerto Rican players. One day, the owner completely insults Latin America as an affront to American civilization. How hard do you think said employees will fight to make their boss rich?
LOL
The tide has turned, the world has changed. Republicans, however, still believe in Reagan’s dying city on the hill. Too bad inflated property values and excessive tax-cuts for the rich left the city without basic services. Unfortunately, it burned down due to inadequate funding to the fire department. All the privatized toll roads and invested junk bonds could not stop the reality that burned their photographs to a crisp and disrupted business and commerce.
I guess no one sent them the invitation to President Obama’s brand spanking new crystal city on the Plains. It is high time they see the plans. This new city looks to be clean, full of health care and proper access to public transportation. Reagan’s city was based on automobiles, business tax-breaks and corporate freedom which, unfortunately, left the city broke and unable to defend itself, while Obamaville denizens will grow happy and healthy riding on the bicycle super highways and public transportation.
This is all figurative of course. No one was actually harmed in the making of this article. Still. Countless millions of Americans have been subjected to Republican bulls**t for too long. Distraction places us middle-class folk in what has been called “wage slavery” and we need to rise above these corporate threats to our freedom.
In the great words of John F. Kennedy, “Let the oppressed go free!”
