Today's Republican Party is....

We really need a whole thread about how you prefer Marx to Smith?

Get a grip, GeeGee. You don't like the GOP because they're the less socialist of the two major parties.

There are millions "like me", but it didn't seem quite right to title the thread "Why the Republican Party is losing support".

I don't like the GOP because they've become a religious party, deciding their platform and picking their candidates based on who's "Christian" and who's not.

So, you dislike the GOP because they're less bigoted than the Democrats? Well, thanks for that refreshing honesty, but most people prefer less bigotry, not more.

Exactly, that list implies that 5 years ago, not 30, she was a GOPer.

I personally find her being a GOPer even 30 years ago to stretch plausibility too far.

Does the fact no one has directly addressed the items in the OP mean they're not contended? Is it a yeah-it's-fucked-up-but-you-should-see-the-other-guy(s) attitude?

Well, I can't speak for others, but even if I were so inclined as to jump in and defend the GOP, I don't really think that trying to have a factual discussion with the poster in question to be a particularly worthwhile endeavor. Time better spent hunting unicorns and all that. But Loki pretty much nailed it when he said they're all either silly exaggerations and/or apply equally to the Democrats, so... meh.
