GOP Implosion: Will Tthe Republican Party Survive
Will the Republican Party survive? David Michael Green, a professor of political science at Hofstra University says its hard to say at this time, but analyzes the question in his article: ttp://www.alternet.org/democracy/129659/the_gop_implosion%3A_will_the_republican, I personally think that the Bush administration and the Republican party have really worked on the economy in such a negative way by showing their greed, and inconsideration for the lower classes that it would be a good a great thing if they were out of the picture. According to Green their are two things threatening the life of the Republican party. One being Barack Obama, who is probably the most skilled and era-appropriate politician in possibly over a decade. The second being the Republican party itself. Wow, why am I not surprised. There are also two political questions that Green says can only be told by the future actions of the two party. Those questions are, who will the Democrats (and especially Obama) be, and who will the Republicans be? In Green's opinion the disposition of either of the ideological battles is yet unknown, and feels that the outcomes are just as unknown to the leaders of each party. Unlike, the leaders of past parties, today's leaders may be more pressers, as other forces prove more influential in dictating the directions that their parties take in the upcoming months and years. From the falling economy that has occurred in the past 18 months or longer due to George W. Bush and his poor decisions. I hope the Republicans will stop being so greedy, and consider the loss of jobs, poverty, and poor health care, They need to realize that their poor decisions and greedy behavior are in turn eventually going to result in their own loss. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, and money makes the world go around. At least that is what I have been told. As Green feels that the Democrats have the ability to forge a popular consensus-based governing regime that will last at least a generation and possibly more. I totally agree that is possible, considering the past decisions of George W. Bush, (worst President, ever) and the Republican party, decisions that have showed their insistence on maintaining in the twenty-first century every ounce of the poverty, ignorance, prejudice and class apartheid that marked the eighteenth century. Green is not saying the Democratic party is the perfect party, and does recognize in his opinion that they are a shameful thing, but nevertheless look a lot better comparatively and longitudinally . Also mentioned is the difference in maturity between the two parties, or atleast Obamaand the GOP. Green says this is truein two respects. First, Obama is the most mature American politician we've seen in decades, and the fact that he is the first major politician ever who talks in living color. I have to absolutally agree with Green's thinking, I believe that Obama's intelligent, resurved maturity, and his wonderful family values, make him a perfect representation of what an American President should be. I have so much faith in President Obama, and feel its definatelly time for the Republican party to get what's coming to them, and time for a positive change for the U.S and our economy. I agree with Green's article one hundred percent, other than when he said that the Democratic Party is shameful. I am also glad that such an historical even as having the first African American elected as President of the United States has occured in my lifetime. I am curious to see what kind of future it will make for the United States, all good I hope
