Image and the GOP

Image repairing for the GOP will be like rebuilding the World Trade Center. It must start from ground zero. The face of the GOP is ugly, grossly unattractive, and in need of an extreme makeover. These guys scream and holler about the constitution and the founding fathers as justification for their unwillingness to have compassion and concern for the less fortunate. They hide behind the first amendment like shivering cowards when they spew racist rhetoric. They use the Holy Bible as a shield when throwing mud at gays and pro-choicers. Old, balding, racist white guys does not a positive image make. They have to become more inclusive. Genuinely.

Why not do Americans a big

Why not do Americans a big favor and disappear into the night! So far every single Republican I walk with has this widespread thinking that every American should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. There should be no redistribution of wealth; even the poorest of the Republicans seems to have this mentality. Well my unfriendly towards the poor (Republicans) how can the average American pull themselves up by the bootstrap with only one strap? Would it not be a better pull with two straps?
 
Give me a living break ...some of the most selfish and hideous things I hear from our compassionates Republicans are mind boggling!
 
This kind of thinking goes way back to the creation of the Constitution of the United States. This living (suffocating) document was created for the wealthiest white man with property, not the average poor working Joe, be they black or white and especially not black. Boot-straps you say, hell most people during this time did not have boots, let alone the straps.
 
The GOP is nothing but a group of selfish greedy individuals whose main mission is to keep all of the bread in their pockets and throw everyone else the lent. But as the good book says, you reap what you sow! While riding the backs of working Americans and keeping all of the monies, the rich group never thought about what would happen if the scales were tilted too far on the greedy side...oppps we fall down!
