This is what the rest of us are watching, an all out whirlwind of chaos before the expiration becomes final. The forces and power behind this collapsing party are doing all in their might to survive what is inevitable based upon the Republican party ideology. They have managed to alienate most all groups of Americans with their consistent support for the one group that needs their protection the least, the wealthy. It is unfathomable to me how a disdain and then disregard of the majority of Americans is at the core of their strategies. They do not represent the American working/not working/middle/poor class, which is approximately 90% of the American population. How can it be that the Republican party hierarchy has become so infected with greed that they have forgotten, or worse, refuse to accept principles of democracy and instead embrace principles of plutocracy? The idea that wealth and power should be above the ideal of democracy is ludicrous given the nature of our country's formation. The Republican concept of catering to the wealthy was and will always be doomed to failure because the majority of us have the right of vote. In that one simple understanding, it should have been clear to them that despite all their tactics to confuse, restrict and deny the franchise to vote, they would never win the hearts and minds of those of us who would fight them to the death to keep our right to vote. We are the majority of Americans and for the Republican party to dismiss or condescend to us is their final offense. The crushing of their party in the coming elections is inevitable as they have nothing to offer but servitude to the wealthy, which means less than nothing to the rest of us. As I watch their flailing around and incoherent defenses of their unenlightened policies I am saddened in that once again, that we have to learn the lesson that wealth unchecked proves that it breeds it's own kind of demented greed, for which the rest of us pay dearly.
