With the Republican Party being looked at as a pack of self serving Traitors by an America feeling betrayed, Abandoned, Subverted, Corrupted, and Fed upon by Evil, Is this the Beginning of the End for the Republicans?
The Regan Admin rises to power having cut a deal with foreign terrorists in Iran,
The Bush Admin props up Oil rich Tyrannies at the Expense of one American after the Next and getting rich off arms deals legal and illegal.
The George W. Bush Legacy record cut backs in USA's Social and economic infrastructure, financing 9/11/2001 Terrorists just prior to their attack, and Tax cuts for the rich while abandoning the poor.
Now with the Cindy Sheenan Movement on the Rise, People encouraging Civil involvement in Government, and Criticism that Even the President is a Traitor to his own Nation, What is the future of the Republicans?
Are the Republicans even Compatible with the expectations of the people in this Modern World.

Levee Upgrade
Until the day before Katrina's arrival, New Orleans's 350 miles (560 kilometers) of levees were undergoing a feasibility study to examine the possibility of upgrading them to withstand a Category Four or Five storm.
Corps officials say the study, which began in 2000, will take several years to complete.
Upgrading the system would take as long as 20 to 25 years, according to Al Naomi, the Corps' senior project manager for the New Orleans District.
Martin McCann, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Stanford University in California, warns that long-term planning may not account for changes to the risk equation.
"As further development goes on behind levees, over decades you need to revisit the question and say, Are those levees providing us the protection that we wanted?" he said.
"The answer is probably no, because the exposure is probably greater. The number of people and the [amount of] valuable property [behind the levees] is greater."
This is not good because of the chance another Category 4-5 hurricane hitting New Orleans before the Levies are built. Anyway, who builds bellow see sea level should pay a higher tax rate to help pay for future evacuation and rebuilding costs should another disaster hit. There should also be building standards put in place to reduce the contamination of the water should future flooding take place. This may include requiring homes and business in the bellow sea level areas to have special storage places for all toxic substances.
The above ground areas of New Orleans should (if they can't already) to be able to deal with sewage in a way that will not contaminate the bellow sea level area in the event of flooding. Roads in busy areas near the above sea level areas should be built above sea level on trusses and pillars and should be able to withstand flooding and erosion from bellow. Similarly homes raised above sea level by pillars and trusses should be given a tax break.

I doubt it. Plenty of people are still being fooled by Bush, Rove, and the rest of the administration. The view of the party that you present is that of its strongest enemies only. People have at various times predicted the death of one or the other party, but it has not come to pass. Besides, there will always be liberals and conservatives whatever there parties may be called. On the whole, I dislike the Republican party more than I dislike the Democratic party, but I don't think that replacing either party with another like-minded one (as the replacement would inevitably be) would change much.

I don't know if all Republican are viewed that way by American people. But, those Neo-Cons are though and should be, because you statement is absolutely true about them.
>>>The Bush Admin props up Oil rich Tyrannies at the Expense of one American after the Next and getting rich off arms deals legal and illegal.

This is a real problem of George Bush dismantling the US physical infrastructure and giving the investment money to his rich buddies that put him in office. Instead of redressing the collapsing of the US infrastructure and US Economy.
>>>Now with the Cindy Sheenan Movement on the Rise, People encouraging Civil involvement in Government, and Criticism that Even the President is a Traitor to his own Nation, What is the future of the Republicans?<<<
You take this and the New Orleans disaster along with his other policies and not only he treasonous, but it should considered by the American People to be an Act of War by George Bush against the American destroy them or at least oppress them.
>>>Are the Republicans even Compatible with the expectations of the people in this Modern world.<<<
Forget the expectation of the people of a modern world. If George Bush continue his policies, there won't be a modern world as you currently thinking of. But, it will be a collapse deterioration pile of wreckage that has collapsed into barbarism.
And that the it whether, you like it or not. There a lot of people on this board that don’t like the message and they would just assume shoot the messenger than acknowledge that the message is true. They rather live in denial of the fact and of the truth.
