    Default How Long Until The Real Republicans Throw Out The Tea Party

    It seems a minority has ruined the Real Republican Party. Now we see Bachman is back in the Party but has declared the leaders as bad, how long before the right does seriously throw out this section of their party. The right is ripe for a war between themselves.

    I put a big thread post about this but somehow it was deleted.

    Republican party is two faceted. Super rich who do not want to pay taxes and whom want to exploit the country. And then there are the poor white male republicans who are tea party members who hate gays, black, and women. They want to force their religion down our throats.

    So the rich republicans convince the poor republicans to vote for them by doing things like being pro-abortion, prayer in school, and bashing gay people. Things they really don't care about or even try to get passed once their guys are elected.

    So if they jetison the tea party who are they going to get to vote for them? There aren't enough rich people out there to win an election.

    How much effort do the repubicans actually make once they are elected to actually change the social issues they seem to care so much about. How much effort do they make in keeping taxes low for the rich? GW decreased the capital gains tax from 35 to 15 percent. He decreased the top tax bracket on income tax by 4.9 percent.

    I don't remember seeing any actual laws banning gay marriage, any effort by the federal government to enforce immigration laws. And real effort to bring religon into the government.

    The republicans base is the super rich and the uneducated poor white people of this country.

    I really do not want to believe it but it does hold a certain amount of truth. And I do realize that there are some that fall in between those two extreme groupings, but they do not seem to have much say any longer in the GOP.

    And that is not to say that all who voted against Obama fall into the two groups the OP used. The whole birthers, "he's a secret Muslim" and "he's secretly gay" crowd certainly is not a fabrication of the left. They are as real and they should be embarrassing to others in the Republican Party instead of being pandered to just to keep their support.

    The infighting started before Romney's nomination and the republicans either get the teaparty inline or face the consequences. The issue with the Teaparty is you can't reason with them.
