It's high time the GOP was confined to the dustbin of history By Patrice Greanville

"SHOW ME A GOP supporter AND I'LL SHOW A COLD-HEARTED CYNIC OR A DELUDED CITIZEN. For many years I have argued that the GOP is a party representing the worst values in American society, the vilest impulses in a human being, and that it exists, indeed it thrives in this country, solely because of the dilapidated state of political knowledge possessed by so many of our fellow citizens. This is a party that, far from thriving and winning elections, should be a footnote in the political debate in the US, or simply extinct." So begins Greanville's argument about what by any standard should be an anomaly: the triumph of a party almost flagrantly advancing the interest of a plutocracy.
