GOP Self-Interest Is the Greatest Threat to Survival of U.S.

The greatest threat to the survival of the United States is not Iran, North Korea or even al- Qaida. It is the Republican Party.

President Bush's policies have turned the last great superpower into the world's biggest joke - only no one is laughing. He has disregarded global warming, squandered the treasury with lack of oversight and rampant cronyism and destroyed habeas corpus, the integrity of voting and the rule of law. The list is endless. He has politicized all branches of government.

All Republican presidential candidates (except Ron Paul) are using fear to be a tougher Bush-like president, with no thought to the well being of the U.S., only the Republican Party. Bush's Orwellian doublespeak blinds Republicans to the destruction the GOP has caused - eliminating any desire to change it.

Bush has lost all credibility as a leader and the U.S. is drifting aimlessly in a rapidly changing world. For the U.S. to survive, it must elect a Democratic president (the worst Democratic candidate is many times better than the best Republican) and increase the Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. The U.S. cannot stand another age of Republican insanity. How long can the GOP defy the Constitution?
