GOP, you've missed the point

As someone who voted GOP for over 20 years, and now can't vote for the GOP, the reason I feel this way is easy: Look at 2008. Since Obama beat McCain, the GOP has given its soul to the far right of the party. What use to be the the fringe is now main steam in the GOP. What use to be the John Birch Society, a far-right wing that thought government was the problem, is now the Tea Party, mainstream GOP, as it 65% of the GOP electorate. McCain didn't lose because he was a moderate, he lost because after 8 years of W., yes President 43, the country was tired of his, verboseness, and ineffectiveness. But most of all, we didn't like his foreign policy, his being a Neo-Con. And the country didn't want another person in the same party following him. So Obama was elected. But instead of tacking left to get moderates after 8 years of a Neo-Con in the White House, the GOP went hard right. They went to their base. No, not their biggest group, they went base, as in nasty and bad. And no compromise. Now, to be truthful, the Democrats did the same thing with the left in 2009. being that the Dems. had the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, they shut out the GOP from all law-making. And President Obama didn't lead, he allowed Nancy Pelosi to write the health bill. But, again, let me ask you, GOP, what are you for other than taking apart regulations and the government? Everyone knows we need better roads, trains, buses and in rural areas, better Internet access. But did you say yes? Of course not, because Obama wanted it. And we need to talk about education after high school. Again, you said no. You, GOP, want to take to the country to your base, to your favorite group, which is hateful and nasty. Sorry, GOP, you've missed the point.
