Republicans a one-issue party?
The War Party.

Will it work for them?

1. Death party
honestly, I think the only times I have ever heard them express sympathy over anyone is if it is a blatocyst or Mary Jo Kopechne. Seriosuly.

3. I think the public sees it that way with no 'victory' materializing
from the war most of them initially cheerled. War=Death. Takes a reliving sometimes to drive that home.

War Party=Death Party

That's not very appealing, is it?

6. When you think about it, every issue they stand for is based in hate
They're against abortion because they hate women. They are pro-war because they hate Muslims. They are pro-tax cuts because they hate the poor. They're against affirmative action because they hate blacks. They're against illegal immigration because they hate Hispanics. And of course, they're against same-sex marriage because they LOATHE and ABHOR gays.

5. They are "One-Issue" in the aspect that
most of the people who vote them over their self-interests are deluded into believing that the one wedge issue that they disagree with a Dem on is what will cause the downfall of society and the apocalypse . . . aside from the 99 percent of what else they agree with the Dem on . . .

7. I think we should stop referring to them as a "Party"........
The word party implies something fun. I think junta, crime syndicate, death squad, or nightmare would be more appropriate.
