“Gone are the days where the Republican party used to put forward big, bold visionary stuff.”
Those days are way long gone. There's no way the GOP could ever lead with something as huge and monumental as the Interstate Highway System as they did in the 1950s. No way any of that could ever happen now. But their lack of 21st century vision didn't just come to a halt in 2012. The modern GOP (since 1981 with Reagan) has done nothing but grow government, increase spending, create huge budget deficits and added trillions to the federal debt. They are the Party of Big Government and fiscal irresponsibility.
It's not that they don't have any ideas, it's that their ideas and visions for this country are barbaric and belong in a time capsule that was sealed long ago. They want to legislate the Bible. Impose Biblical standards on the country and lead with a warped ideology that tells them they are the lone remaining Patriots in America. Just a short list of their ideas and visions:
- More tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans
- Keep us fighting an Endless War in Iraq
- Allow insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions
- Outlaw birth control
- Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage
- Constitutional Amendment banning abortion
- Eliminate Medicare, Social Security and unemployment benefits or in the very least privatize them
- Destroy unions
- Impose self-perceived morality on the whole country
- No Separation of Church and State
