This is exactly why I wish we would all take a deeper interest in history. This evangelical take-over in the GOP has been going on a very long time. And the "snap" that fueled the fire & brimstone to the core took place during LBJ's presidency and the Dixicrats turning Republican after the passage of the Civil Rights Acts.
Actually... go back to the Civil War. The slogan "The South will rise again" is something to think about when considering the Teavangelicals of today in the GOP. |

...based on Romney advisor, Gillespie, who said that Mitt "retroactively retired" from Bain in 1999 despite his involvement (and salary) until 2002.

Who would have ever thought that Barry Goldwater would sound like a moderate, thoughtful man? (Maybe he always was).
I still remember my parents talking about Barry as so "out there" when I was a kid and they have always been dyed-in-the-wool Republicans! Of course, now my 88-year-old dad says all the Republicans-including Romney- are "damn fools". For once, my father and I agree on something.

Rachel Maddow on msnbc is awesome: Romney proposed that the blind and those with mental retardation should pay a fee (to help balance the budget) when he was in Mass.
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/06...the-privilege/ Republicans love to play semantics. The 1% are not bloated pigs bleeding the country dry, they’re “job creators.” We’re not empire building when we invade sovereign countries, we’re “spreading democracy.” We’re not raising your taxes, we’re only charging you a “fee.” While he was governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney chose to balance his budget by charging all kinds of “fees” instead of raising taxes. Semantics. But the newsworthy part is who he charged with new “fees” and for what. Business Insider found all sorts of ugly stuff back in January. Why it hasn’t been used is a mystery but there’s still five months to go before election day. Pay per not view: “It now costs to be blind in Massachusetts. The state’s approximately 35,000 blind and legally blind residents must now pay $10 annually for a certificate of blindness and $15 every four years for a blind identification card. Without the formerly-free documents, blind people cannot take advantage of tax abatements, affordable housing programs, health care services, transportation discounts and other benefits. … The fees originated in February, in Gov. Mitt Romney’s budget proposal for fiscal 2004.” (Shaun Sutner, “Advocates Fight Fees For The Blind,” Telegram & Gazette, 8/5/03) Sure, it’s only $10 but try charging a rich person $10 extra for a yacht license. “Why are you punishing success?!” |
