Why do Republicans look so old school?
What is with republicans and them looking so old school? and by that I mean they are all white, they are all old and all have that same stupid comb over hair style. They all seem to look identical too me in some ways, there is nothing unique about their appearance its just the same boring look, why is this?

And about their hair, why do nearly ALL of them decide to go with the lame comb over hair style? There are other hair styles out there to choose from.

2. Old and IN THE WAY...they plod on looking for the victories they once had
They are stuck with a Poor philosophy of Negativism....unable to think Positive because of their Bulliness and selfishness...

they are on the way to extinction and are fighting tooth and nail all the way down the drain...

6. They belong to an age of conformity
Look at old movies, for instance. There was a "uniform." You wore the same thing a everyone else, and wore your hair the same way.

7. Maybe it was how to get ahead. Same stuff on every thing
You know the score. Same schools, tailor etc. Also one breeds into the other. We just hate to say we have a class society but we do and always have.It is not a caste society but has some shades on it. It was one reason that the history of our country was not to have great wealth passed down as we end up like old Europe with these families that inter breed and have all the money and power. The GOP believes in that. They are 'born to rule' so have the money to do it and that takes the same old class system and inter breeding to keep it going. I think it was Kennedy that was the first President that stopped some of that and put in some one that was not a WASP into his cabinet. Now I will hide so I will not get a rock in the head. :hide: :hide: :hide:

10. The Southern Strategy In The Flesh
In the 60's the party deliberate chose to become the party of the white, middle-aged christian male. It excluded more than it ever included and over time alienated virtually any ethnic or minority group in the country. Thus today all you have left is a regional party that reflects an America of the past, not of the present or future.

12. Th'ain't dead quick enough
Or maybe they are and nobody has had the nerve to tell them yet. They might eat brains, for all I know. I'm certain they aren't using any.
