At this time in American Society, the Republican Party has become ineffective and obsolete. They have refused to change what they consider time honored values that mostly concern social issues. Unfortunately for the Republicans and right wing conservatives, most Americans have taken a more moderate view on things such as abortion, gays, religion and issues that favor big business rather than the middle class and poor.

Someone recently asked me if I thought President Obama was doing the right thing with the massive spending, bank bailout, the automakers and homes. They also wondered if McCain and Palin had won the election, if we'd still be in this recession.

Recently, the majority of Americans sent a clear message to the Republican party that we reject racism, bigotry and the usual politics of fear and small minded people. This sent the Republican party into a panic and a desperate search for becoming more appealing to more than just rich white people and skinheads.

Recently, a conservative group called Our Country Deserves Better began running a commercial thanking Gov Sarah Palin for all she's done for Americans. This puzzles me as they didn't thank her for anything she actually did, like stir up the paranoid anger of the bigots on the fringe right. So, I'd like to set the record straight and thank her for all she has really done!

Some people have been suggesting that religion is killing the Republican party, and I have to disagree. It's not religion, but the people behind the religious beliefs, and I say this after watching many Republicans for years, try to legislate their religious doctrine into laws governing all people.
