The corruption of the Republicans and how we win

What has happened in the Republican Party is this. A few extremely rich people have created the apparatus to take over the Party and in doing so have rendered it irrelevant. I has a loud voice, driven by money alone, but there is no substance behind what is being said. In fact what is being said can vary on any subject from one day until the next. It is an entire Party gone rudderless, or to be more exact one that seems to have lost its keel. And what has it all been for? A few families pay no tax and unimaginably vast fortunes get to grow even faster; the fences grow higher and the gap between social strata grow more and more vast.

And who is the current "leader" of that Party? A man just like the Party itself. Mitt has no aim, no policy, no relevant experience what so ever and not one shred of evidence that he has anything like a moral compass either. He and his Party are a perfect match for one another. As Bill Clinton said, they simply can not be allowed to win.

Do you know what it takes to beat Republicans, both old style Republicans and these new things that run for office? Voter turnout. That's all it takes. When voters turn out Republicans get tossed out.
