Anyone following the circus act at this years CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) can't help but scratch their head and wonder what ever became of the Grand Old Party? When republicans turn to clowns like Rush Limbaugh and Joe the Plumber for direction, you know they're in trouble.
One of their major problems, of course, has been the disastrous leadership of George W. Bush. How bad was it?

Ronald Reagan was not liked by these country club liberal republicans, they constantly claimed he was not one of them-never attended the finest schools-never hob-knob-ed with he Washington elite--liberals-. Well- Reagan won two landslide elections, kicked the crap out of two socialist liberals. Liberals keep counting your liberal chickens. I f you think that the majority of Americans are just going to ignore a socialist spread the wealth man to sink our country into trillions of dollar debt to reward the welfare state with their hard earned money, you liberals are in for a surprise.
No and failure have to be put back into the vocabulary of our society.
Oh I'm a drug addict and because of that I can not work, I need to get high everyday General Obama please send my "FREE" CHECK ON TIME- i need a fix. Keep the government check coming and you can count on my vote and millions of votes from my fellow "Free-loaders". Hard working American people are fed up with this rewarding of losers with their paycheck.
Nice article Mario. The grand ole party is dead - Thank God.
Oh well at least when he's here he isn't holding up gas stations or mugging old ladies.
Liberals like you Don have taxed people like me for decades, I know I deserved to be punished by high taxes, why I had the "Gaul" to succeed in America and want better things for my family{selfishly}.
Don, you like all liberals never stop to see the damage you have done. Liberals are the one's mugging all the people all the time-Tax-Tax-Tax,take-take-take.
General Obama's message: America is rotten,corrupt,racist,corrupt,unjust,selfish and he Obama is going to "Change" the face of America. A shorthand euphemism for huge government expansion aka , more liberal taxation mugging.
This new Democrat, Barack the magnificent, is nothing more than a new, new dealer. Whose political energies are fueled by the high taxation liberal notion that we are incapable of taking care of ourselves and our families. We need the government in order to succeed. Don, the American people are mugged everyday. It's called HIGH-TAXATION!
UNFORTUNATELY LIBERALS WILL NEVER GET IT. It requires common-sense!!!
Way, way back in the day, bigots, racists, and the "Good ol' Boy", network were saturated within the Democratic Party. Reagan was one of them. But things began to change, and many stood up against them, and the Democratic Party went through a purge of it's bigots and racists. Reagan was one of those purged. The Democratic Party no longer was the way he liked it. He found what he was looking for in the Republican Party.
Ronald Reagan freed 50 million people in eastern Europe, Berlin wall fell. communist thug Gorbachev thrown out of power.
Dorothy if you are looking for a racist look no further than the man? occupying the White-House.
I quit allowing the wolves in sheeps clothing to devour my time and life any more.
I am not a republican I am a conservative. Reagan was a conservative and had great success as our president. When Reagan took office the financial mess was just as bad as it is today- double digit interest rates, unemployment, and inflation. Capitalism not Obama socialism put this country on the greatest economic boom in it's history, a 17 year run of record financial numbers.
Not to mention the defeat of the "Evil Empire"and the fall of the Berlin Wall. I would like to see in my life time a full conservative slate- house- senate- president, that is what the liberals have now and in 4 weeks have purposely sank this nation into a almost 4 trillion dollar debt. That is a disaster!!
