Harm of Old Symbols for the Republican Party

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh are they leaders of a dying party? Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been speaking for his party as of late to defend what occurred during the Bush Administration. Rush Limbaugh put it out in the public that he hopes President Obama fails. James Carville, a political pundit not so loved here in New Mexico, was thrilled at the prospect of having these two men running the Republican Party and having their views be what represents the platform of the Republican Party for the next forty years. It is clear that if the Republican Party turns toward these individuals that the voting public will continue to turn toward the Democratic Party for sane leadership of our country. For these two men the sky truly is red not blue.

The problem with this is that our country is and has always been a two party system and one party is beginning to completely and totally fail the voting public in such away as to make its continued existence questionable. Our own party is beginning to develop into a system of two parties just to supply a sane alternative to individual who seek a conservative yet inclusive group that can still represent their needs for caring and supportive family values. The Democratic Party is by no means a godless party. We do have a segment which does ascribe to that belief but just because we are all inclusive we have segments from all beliefs and cultural outlooks within our own party. This diversity has in the past pulled us apart but still kept our party lively in its debate as to what it means to be a true Democrat.

Younger people are now looking for a party which will provide an opportunity for them to be open minded while still representing their core values of peace, caring, acceptances and prosperity for their future and the future of this country. Younger voters want to include not exclude individuals so as to have a more diverse viewpoint in life. They understand the value of change and the driving force of technology in their future when it comes to how they run their country. They are willing to make changes and try new ideas to see how it affects peoples interactions in how to run the government and also how it affects the involvement of the general public in how the government is run. The opportunities for growth within our own party has never been this great and the younger generation will greatly change the way the Democratic Party does business within the coming years.
