REPOOBS RISE?

"Everything Old may be New Again in 2012"

A venerated Republican such as Richard Lugar, and  one  not-so-much, like Orrin Hatch, seem to be fighting for their political lives within the Republican Party.  They seem to be the latest victims of the Repoob invasion taking place WITHIN the party.  Seems we're about to find out what  Nixon really "hatched" with his "Southern Strategy".  In addition to the people they used to call "Negroes" (never big on the Republican hit list), the Repoobs have added liberated females, gays,  "illegal" Hispanics, and the poor of any color.

Just who are these Repoobs?  The Yin-Yang media would have us believe all sorts of things about them, but, moving forward on the assumption that "they are what they do", history has a lot to tell us.  I find strong parallels to the fight within the Republican Party in its early years and leading up to the death of the Whig Party ( the Know-Nothings were kicking up a fuss).  Look up the "Bourbon Democrats". Look up those early Republicans known as the "Old Radicals".  Look up President Andrew Johnson.  Stir all that hay together and you'll get a whiff of who the Repoobs might be, and just what they're really up to.  Abraham Lincoln tried to build coalitions among his moderate, radical, conservative and moderate Republicans, but the GOP has no one like Abe in the party today.

Aside from crazy stuff like fiddling with women's private parts; the Repoobs seem set on making sure the gang they serve never has to pay, in any way, for blowing a gigantic hole in our economy.   They are committed to the point of driving the country to default to get their way.

The Repoobs of today parallel the Bourbon Democrats in many ways (gold standard, anti-Negro, limited government).  Then, as now, the theme was heavily about a "white South" and the way of life that entailed.  Hence their phrase "we're here to take OUR country back"!  And then what?
