Who's Left?

I have watched all the GOP debates.  I don't think I missed one.  I might have, they began to run together after the first six or so.  I have followed the GOP on TV news, online, and in print.  I think I understood the GOP of the 50s and 60s.  I do not comprehend the current party.  They reflect Goldwater's odd rejection of law and Nixon's southern strategy which captured the Jim Crow loving Dixiecrats.  Both are reactionary.  They, by their words, prefer a monarchy with a strong religious core.  Henry VIII comes to mind.  Are there really that many people who would rather live under theocratic monarch than in a democratic republic?  Perhaps Republican voters do not understand what they back?

The GOP has managed to describe whom the party serves.  They have written off women.  They have rejected the young.  Gays have been prayed away.  They prefer that all Hispanics be deported.  They have  taken up the "Welcome Mat" for Asians.  Blacks, well, 1850 was a good year for them.  Who is left?  Oh, it's the party of John McCain, a dim rich old white guy.  If you are not John McCain, why would you be a Republican?
