Good 'Letter to the Editor' today

in the Denver Post. It made me realize WHY I was once a Repub, and why I am so ANTI-Repub today. I didn't change, they did. The party was hi-jacked by a bunch of rightwingnuts from the Southern Bible Belt, and other fringe elements followed. Now, their Great White Hope, to knock out the peoples(R) favorite is the most hated man in Congress.
Re: “Republicans caught in identity crisis,” Feb. 29 news story.
Growing up with a staunch Republican father, I remember the party of “once was.” Republicans then had two primary concerns: keeping government small (except for defense) and out of our lives, for the most part; and fiscal responsibility. Deficits and debt, other than that incurred during World War II, were anathema to the party.
Somewhere along the way the Republican Party got itself hijacked by the gun lobby, the right-to-lifers, climate-change deniers, the wall builders, the religious right and others.
Now, they have devolved into a joke, led by Donald Trump, and are on the verge of collapse, which is a good thing. In the meantime, they won't be starting any wars and filling the VA hospitals, while draining the treasury. Hopefully, the 'new and improved' party will embrace the values they once had.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
