A Lesson for Republicans

An interesting thing has happened in Ripon, Wisconsin on March 20, 1854, he got together with former members of the Whig Party and founded the Republican Party. By 1856, they had their first presidential candidate, John C. Fremont run. Given the fact that this took place in a time when it is quite a bit 'more to go around with the word, which is pretty impressive.

In just over six years, the Republicans had one of them, Abraham Lincoln elected president. Now everyone knowsAbraham Lincoln was, but not all that many of you may know the Whigs. The fact of the matter is, they have lost contact with their time, and the most talented members of the party went to the Whig Party to write a little more than a footnote in history books as some. A bit 'like, well, the Republican Party today.

Abraham Lincoln

The people belong to a political party, because they perceive that they and the party to hold the same values. If the party out, that there are certain human values ​​andlearn that the values ​​are no longer as something that refers to the party every election cycle are leaving the party. Once again seems to be what it is, the Republican Party is happening today.

A Lesson for Republicans

From Dede Scozzafava, a candidate who probably brought a feast for the eyes tear Nancy Pelosi has fallen from 23 Congressional District race in New York so that he could, of course, support his Democratic rival, the Republicans have only their arms wrapped around Doug Hoffman.Which by the way has become a conservative / Republican, during the night. Mrs. Scozzafava was appointed by the local Republican party machine for the Congress to run. If the local machine is not in tune with the values ​​expected of the Republican Party, who made the nomination of candidates in the first place?

The Talking Heads are of course say that this is just to show that there is no place for moderates in the Party of the Republic - as it happens to be a wealth ofthat in the Democratic Party - but they are wrong. After all, the Republicans really nothing more than a contempt for his party's base, and one that does nothing but focus on the Democrats for approval are. This is what the Republican Party today.

Not really do not see the need for two parties that have a guide to see things in much the same way, and clearly see that the leadership has to fight the Democrats over the Republican PartyI would recommend that the Republicans close the shop and the Whigs. For those of you who really values ​​the Republicans have presented, but indicated that was not the Case, go to join the Conservative Party and the things found.
