What's Happened To The Party Of Lincoln?

Better yet, what has happened to the Grand Old Party (GOP)? A group of hijackers calling themselves conservatives, have made a mockery out of a serious political party, created by anti-slavery activists in 1854, and run by President Abraham Lincoln is in trouble! Unfortunately, the tarnishing of the Republican brand is decades in the making, which is disappointing because true conservative Republicans with honor, grace, dignity and intellectual capital are longing to be a part of the dialogue. Great minds, like President Nixon, with brilliant ideas and courage, are yester year. Yes, I know, he was a crook, and the creator of the southern strategy, but he would not have been a member of this 21st century political circus that we are witnessing. How about Colin Powell, moderate Republican, military man, and revered leader, where is he? Out of the spot light in disgust, to be sure. After all, we see the Republican Party looking more and more each day like Barnum & Bailey Ringling Brothers Circus (Lol). Nevertheless, as the adage goes, "when you allow the children to stay up pass their bedtime, ALL havoc will wreak!" As such, the children, or (cast of characters), which contribute to the degradation of the Republican party include the media, the Tea party, the Birther's, Donald the Chump Trump, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Liz Cheney, Christine O'Donnell and other ideological idiots. Show business over substance in a time when families struggle to feed their children is reprehensible. Moreover, a dummied-down political process is what the American people have been privy to for some time. In fact, it was just under a magnifying glass during President Obama's campaign in 2008. Subsequently, the other children in the room are the presumed Republican presidential candidates.  Former candidate Herman Cain, Michelle scary extremist' Bachman, Ron Paul, Mitt 'phony' Romney, Rick the not-so smart Texas, Governor' Perry and Newt the bigot liar' Gingrich think that the American people like to see show business over substance, and they too have dummied-down the political process. I ask the question, are we going to see a flying monkey throw his or her hat in the Barnum & Bailey Circus next? (Lol). Quite, insulting to one’s intelligence! In fact, more insulting is the leadership of Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, and Majority leader Eric Cantor. I am sure that President Lincoln and Reagan would be proud of em'. Not! In fact, the Grand Old, Party (GOP); not so GRAND anymore.

I'm just saying...
