Grading the Republican

We always grade the president after 100 days. On television and in talking head land they have spent a lot of time grading how the president has done during the first hundred days of his presidency. Nobody has talked about grading the Republican Party during this first 100 days of being a minority party. Are they doing what a strong minority should be doing during this time.

Its important that the Republican party be more than the party of “no” They are needed to have a healthy discussion of the issues that are coming up. So how have they fared during this time. The other day when Senator Spector changed parties, Chris Mathews on hardball gave his assessment by saying that they are quickly becoming the party of the South, The Religious and the intolerant.

So here goes…….. For coming up with alternate ideas they get an “F” Mostly because they haven’t come up with any.

Helping to raise the psychology of the country. They get an “F” because they continue to fear monger and look for enemies under any rock they can find

Finding new and interesting leadership into the national conscience, they get an “F” because they continue to defer to the tired and old leadership they have had in the past. They seem to love the old and the dumb leader because that about all they have shown.

All and All the republican party gets an “F” as the minority party and it’s the main reason that they have sunk into a regional party with a narrow focus.
