The GOP vs. democracy

GOP has limited democracy in 15 states

Judson Phillips, president of prominent Tea Party group Tea Party Nation: “The Founding Fathers… put certain restrictions on… the right to vote… you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense.

GOP vote restrictions biggest act of segregation in a half century

I used to think that the Republicans actually believed what they said, even though it often made little sense.

Now I think that - while some of their rank and file believe that their ideology is best for "all - I am convinced that most of them at the top hate democracy, hate freedom of opportunity, hate civil rights for the masses and so on.

They are nothing more than apologists for aristocracy. I think that most of those at the top are fully aware of this and of what they are actually attempting to accomplish. They are trying to keep money and control in an permanent upper crust.

The sad thing is that there are plenty of Joe-the-Plumber types to support them in what they are doing.
