Once upon a time, GOP stood for limited government. In time, it became the party of “cultural conservatism.”

Now, it’s a cauldron of bitterness, xenophobia, racism, homophobia & anti-intellectualism.

Let's be clear: The Republican Party has lost any legitimate reason for being.

@rbreich all well said but the truth beneath the GOP's surface. GOP is the fe facto go to political party for delivering the needs of the special interests of large corporations and individuals. Thus it needs to connect with voters with other mean other than the voters self interests. Thus it invests heavily on such issues as very well described in your post.
