The GOP has left the building

In state after state, voters have turned away from Republican candidates. Why?

Voters aren't turning away from the Party. The Party has lost touch with America.

No matter what Nathan Deal might say in public, the private conversation of Republican to Republican outline the GOP's ideal future.

For example just read the blog maintained by the Hall County Republican Party's Chair at www.epaulstanley.com.

Mr. Stanley, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, rants like a street thug against ... rights, human rights.

How about Nathan Deal's little speech to the 9th District GOP Convention,on April 21, 2008. He praises China and wants the GOP to be like China in a keynote speech to the 9th District GOP Convention,on April 21, 2008, "We must do as the Chinese are planning to do for the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics."

That sounds pretty harmless except I can't help but worry about why Nathan Deal mentions Communist China at all in a speech directed to the core leadership of the GOP. Does the core leadership plan on suppressing human rights. Well, Deal slams 'rights' later in the speech.

But, if Deal wants to use a war metaphor, and he does, why not pick a success story like our own troops? Not proud of our troops? Doesn't want the GOP to be as brave and steadfast as our own soldiers?

Just wants to put on a show for the public while hiding the ugliness behind the brutality of police lines and prisons?

The Nathan Deal and the GOP core leadership doesn't think you have a Right to buy a house, "or a Right to go to college, or a Right to healthcare."

Nathan Deal says, "Obviously, during our 220 years of Constitutional rule, we have elected to have government provide and pay for many of these things, espcially for our poorest citizens, but it has always been based on our humanitarian concerns, not because they were mandated by the rights of citizens."

"Therefore, not everything that is desirable or advantageous is a Right ... [and] ...If we continue to expand these statutorily created Rights there will be no end to it."

Has the government been giving away homeownership? Deal didn't say, low rent housing, subsidized rent ... He said "own."

Are the benefits of Medicare and Medicaid all free or funded from a specific tax and fees paid into a trust fund? Did we start the payroll taxes for the trust funds as a way to avoid government give aways and the shame of putting our citizens on the 'dole?'

Wasn't even the Hope Scholarship in Georgia put into action by a public vote? Students must earn the money by having more than just average grades in high school and by maintaining those grades in college. And, isn't all the money for the Hope paid voluntarily into the scholarship by buying Lottery Tickets? Doesn't sound like the government forcing anyone to buy tickets to fund a scholarship. I guess Nathan Deal wants to stop this program before people get too uppity about scholarships and educating kids.

Nathan Deals is saying it's time for the GOP to adopt oppression and war like methods to win elections.

Get the GOP out of our house.
