Did you feel the same way in 08 Glob?
No. The Tea Party has emboldened some of the worst elements who reside under the GOP umbrella. I've always had a problem with GOP nastiness, but it's at a whole new level unseen in recent decades.
Can you please describe in depth detail which elements you're talking about and which level of unseen nastiness you refer to? What makes them so nasty? Is it because they prefer freedom over dependency on the government? Answers and not rhetoric please.
Warfare on social issues. Thinly veiled hatred of the "others" - gays, Muslims, women who use birth control, etc. In the past, I've seen GOP positions as being adverse to certain groups of Americans, and perhaps a bit hostile to those same people. This year, however, it's gone to a whole new level of aggrieved-white-person-centrism and hostility to anyone who isn't living in a working-class nuclear family with a cross hung over their bed and a Bible in their nightstand.
I know you're new here, but if you'd have read other of my posts, you'd know I'm one of the last people in the world to advocate against freedom or for dependency on the government. I'm a long-time libertarian/minarchist/anarcho-capitalist. I
loathe Obama, his administration, and the acts he's taken to do what I consider to be great harm to this country. But that doesn't mean that these GOP schlubs are the answer. (Ron Paul probably is, and his lack of traction is just further evidence of the problem with the GOP base.)
