Bob Dole: GOP Should Be ‘Closed For Repairs’

HUFFINGTON POST: …Dole, who served in the Senate from 1969 to 1996, wasn’t fully critical of the president, but said part of the problem is that he “lacks communication with Congress” and should have gotten together with members earlier in his presidency…

Still, he acknowledged it’s not easy to work with the Senate, where he said “no doubt about it,” cloture is being abused. He didn’t spare the Republican Party his criticism, saying they need to be “closed for repairs” and come up with more plans and a vision for the future before the end of the year. Wallace asked him whether he’d even fit in with the Republican Party today.

“I doubt it,” Dole replied. “Reagan wouldn’t have made it, certainly Nixon wouldn’t have made it, because he had ideas. We might have made it, but I doubt it.” … (more)

  1. Bob Dole was spot on with his criticism of the Republican Party. They have gone so far to the Right Wing that they are nothing more than obstructionists. The Democrats in many ways are no better.

    But there is a reason why the Republicans are obstructing the business of good government.

    The Republican Party and the TEA Party are dominated and controlled by Christian Reconstructionists called Dominionists. They are theocrats who wish to replace our American Republic with a Christian fascist state. For the past 30 years they have sought to legislate Old Testament Levitical Law, more commonly called Biblical Law, as the law of the land.

    They are called Dominionists because of their interpretation of Gen. 1:28, where God told Adam and Eve to take dominion over the earth. Whereas most Christians see this as God commanding mankind to be good stewards of the Earth, Dominionists see this as God giving them a mandate to gain control of governments and to rule nations to help usher in the Second Coming of Christ by preparing for the Battle of Armageddon.

    In their writings and speeches to their Republican Right-Wing Conservative base, whom they have deceived, Dominioinsts have clearly indicated that they want to transform America, thus reconstructing, on every level of society into a Christian Nation. Part of this reconstructing of America will be to impose the death penalty on those whom they consider undesirables: Christians who are not Dominionists, homosexuals, unruly children, people of other religions, atheists, anybody who will not convert to their brand of Christianity. They are dangerous: Dominionists cannot be reasoned with, they subvert the Constitution, and they will do anything to gain power and control over all of us. Domininoists are not your friend.

    What is more disturbing than the Dominionist takeover of the Republican Party is their infiltration of the U.S. Military in all branches. They have done this through the influence of parachurches in the chaplaincy program. Dominionists are now infesting the rank and file as well as the chain of command. We now have a weaponized missionary organization that is paid by the government.

    Combine that fact with another fact of the two clauses, 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA of 2012 (National Defense and Authorization Act) which gives the U.S. Military the authority on orders of the President to detain American citizens indefinitely on American soil with no need for evidence, and you have the makings of an Orwellian nightmare.
    These are the facts. If anyone reading this thinks this is all alarmist or conspiratorial thinking, then you should do your homework and research Dominionism. Start with Theocracy Watch, God’s Own Party, GodDiscussion.com, Truthout.org, and proceed from there.

    It is time to wake up, look around you, and become aware, and fight the Dominioinsts. What is at stake is nothing more than our rights and freedoms and our democratic way of life.
