Why is the Republican Party thought so little of nowadays?

The Republican Party has become the embodiment of hypocrisy in America today, for all the reasons you listed above, and more. But you really hit the nail square with the spending.

Unfortunately, the "spending practices" of this administration are much worse than just unpopular. By printing and then dumping billions of new federal reserve notes in, on and around Iraq (not to mention over $4 trillion "lost" from the DOD budget in the course of the first 2 years of GWB's first administration), GWB and the neo-cons have done everything possible to devalue our domestic currency, using everything from no-bid cost-plus contracts to shipping pallets of $100 bills to Baghdad and then left in unguarded warehouses.

They have been so successful that financial institutions are going belly up right and left, gas prices are soaring, and foreclosures on private homes have reached a perilous high.

But the effects this criminal profiteering are not just felt between our borders. In many ways the dollar is the currency of the world. Financial markets worldwide are thrown into chaos because foreign governments and their financial overseers use the dollar to stabilize other currencies.

Right now the dollar is staggering around in the world markets like a thirty-something George Bush Jr. at a Texas wedding reception, complete with the side bets between shadowy figures on the sidelines on whether he's going to right himself before he reaches the stairway or double back into the party and puke in the punchbowl.

All in all, he makes that skirt-chasing, drug-running backwoods scoundrel Bill Clinton look like the best President we've had in 30 years.

Starting even before Nixon, whose first political campaign was financed by Prescott Bush, the Barry Goldwaters among the Republicans have been slowly replaced by members of a family that helped finance the Nazis during World War II and who took part in a conspiracy to militarily take over the United States government. Replaced by them and their friends, allies, and handlers.

After all, that's why these new Republicans are called neo-cons, neo-conservatives, because the new conservatism is exactly what the old conservatives feared and fought against. Thanks to the media, we Americans are trained to react predictably to symbols, and are slow to recognize, en masse, when the meaning behind the symbols changes dramatically. We are conditioned to ignore the meaning of processes, and instead concentrate on the inflection of the suggestions and the uniform symbology of whatever social interaction or process is taking place.

Funny how this same family has deep roots in the international intelligence agency well-known for its upheaval of political systems and economies in third world and developing nations. Or is it?
