Reply #17: their base doesn't run their party

[Johonny]

a small hand full of rich and greedy run their party. Hence all those teabaggers with signs saying keep your hands off my Medicare are having Republican party try to take their Medicare. All those union police and firefighters are seeing the Republican party attack their unions power. All those small government voters saw the government grow like crazy under Reagan and Bush. All those deficit hawk voters saw the debt grow out of control without any society beneficial reason under Reagan and Bush. They sell themselves as the party of personal integrity and moral values only to time and time again produce ample criminal prosecution and moral lapse of judgment. They bill themselves as keeping Government out of your private lives than ram through the patriotic act, personal drug testing for jobs and ample odd sexual based legislation.

I mean basically the Republicans have an incredible ability to poop and sell the poop to their base as a brick of gold. For some reason this is less affective with Democrats.
