Then And Now

The Republican Party hasn't always been the mean-spirited anti-woman party it is today. There was a time when they wanted what was best for this country's citizens, and were willing to compromise for the good of the country. But they thought a few years ago that they could appeal to the ultra-right-wingers, the fundamentalists, and the racists -- and assure themselves of re-election for years to come. But those elements have now taken control of that once-respected political party. Now it is nothing more than a mean-spirited, racist, misogynistic, corporate-owned joke -- and that should worry everyone who believes in a multi-party democracy.
