Fox News commentator Kayleigh McEnany, a former Trump administration press secretary, echoed a common GOP theme, tweeting that Biden had delivered the 'most divisive presidential speech' she’d ever seen. They do not recognize the will of the people.'īiden’s insistence during the address that 'not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans,' has hardly mollified his critics. 'MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. 'There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country,' Biden said. MAGA - Trump’s trademark Make America Great Again 2016 campaign slogan - is subject to interpretation. Ultimately, if these Grand Old Porkers want to find a decent candidate, they may have to give up their Golf, Oil and Prostitutes and try and focus on more solid issues and less on this personality contest.Īt this point, maybe the GOP should just Get Out of Politics.The dispute over what it means to be a MAGA Republican has given the GOP an opening to accuse President Joe Biden of ' smearing' half the voters in the country - the roughly 47% of those who voted in 2020 for former President Donald Trump. Though most GOP candidates like to think of themselves as God Ordained Politicians, the Republican voters seem to be more concerned with beating Obama than with their own values.Īccording to The New York Times, “Half of Republicans who plan to vote in a primary said they would like more choices.” I bet the Republicans now wish they had not defined GOP as Grow Our Party and included that guy.Īll in all, it seems that the GOP still has plenty of soul searching to do. The moderator then asked if he would let him die, but before he could answer someone in the audience yelled, “Yes!” Paul answered that it is a choice to be covered or not. Ron Paul was asked what to do if someone is in a coma, but has no life insurance. At the recent Tea Party Candidate debate, Texas Rep. The Gauntlet Of Power that the GOP race is becoming seems to be attracting many scary participants. Many of the candidates want to help fix the deficit, but think that raising taxes on the bottom 50 percent of earners in the country would be more effective than on the top 2 percent even though they make the same net amount of money. Rick Perry of Texas seems to be the frontrunner for the presidential nomination, and after regaling the nation with his story of shooting a coyote on his morning run, he has gleefully defined GOP as Guns, Our Priority. In today’s Republican nominee field, GOP has more meanings than anyone ever thought possible. When John McCain and Sarah Palin ran on the presidential ticket and wanted to “Drill baby, drill,” GOP stood for Gas, Oil, and Petroleum. Yet this lovely acronym seems to hold new meaning for every Republican that comes along. When Hurricane Katrina struck and it took a week to get aid to the victims, GOP stood for Got Other Priorities. Bush was in office and allowed huge tax cuts for those making boatloads of cash, the GOP stood for Greed Over People.

However in recent years, the GOP has begun to redefine itself in order to stir up the public imagination and get away from their boring, alabaster norms.įor example, when former President George W. Most of their constituents are old white men, thus: Grand – short for grandpa, Old – self explanatory, and finally, Party – sadly no, there is not a keg. You may know the Grand Old Party by another name, “the Republicans,” however it is the GOP for a reason. Have you ever heard of the GOP? A long time ago, it used to stand for the Grand Old Party, but today it stands for so much more.
