GOP

Joe Scarborough

Grand Ole Polarization

I can be found on many social outlets on the Internet. One of these outlets is called Twitter. When I was on Twitter yesterday, I saw Joe Scarborough, of MSNBC. I am one of his followers. I noticed he was lamenting over the lack of Conservative viewpoints, being discussed, on this day. He appeared to be pretty fed up with all of us Twitters. So, he wished everyone a good weekend and departed. In his final entry, Mr. Scarborough showed a link to the Website Pew Research Center Publications. http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1178/polarized-partisan-gap-in-obama-approval-historic

He urged all of us to read it and get educated. With a challenge like that, how could I resist? This article showed statistics claiming President Obama was causing the greatest polarization between political parties in this modern era. (As stated in the Title) I read the article and I have to admit, the statistics are profound. However, I believe they are misleading because, the underlying reasons for the stats are not being truly revealed.

Like Paul Harvey (well known radio personality) would say, now for the rest of the story. Even though there were questions over the Presidential Election in 2000, more Democrats were willing to work with President George W. Bush than Republicans are today, towards President Barack Obama. This is a concerted propagandized effort by, the extreme Rabid Right Wing of the GOP, to do all it can to undermine the confidence the American People have in President Obama. This confidence was shown in the significant victory Democrat Barack Obama had over the GOP candidate John McCain. The stunning and significant loss received, by the GOP in that Presidential Election, has spawned an internal fight between the old guard and the new blood within the Right Wing. The old guard, which was in charge and voted out of office, struggles to regain its political footing. However, they do not know how to go about it. The newer, younger blood in the party feels, they should take the reins and re-evaluate the GOP position on Gay Marriage and other issues the American People feel strongly on.

Looking at facts like this gives the figures in the article a different meaning. A meaning that can be manipulated to serve a specific agenda. Now, you know the rest of the story. Good Day!

That’s how I see it.
