I don\u2019t need Arbitron or Neilson media raters to tell me, Stevie wonder can see that Republicans of all races, creeds and colors read The Gantt Report just like everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine Congressional Republicans donning their dusty cowboy boots and line dancing all across the Capital rotunda to the sounds of Boys to Men\u2019s \u201cThe End of the Road\u201d or the Temptations \u201cI\u2019m Losing You\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Only about a third of Americans are die hard nationalists, supremacists and separatists but the ultra-conservative right wingers appear to have a death grip on most of America\u2019s elected Republicans who sincerely feel they can\u2019t even win a rat race without the blessings and support of the political Devil in Chief, also known lying, losing former President of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Perpetuating The Big Lie about Joe Biden\u2019s overwhelming victory in the 2020 election, disparaging democracy and disrupting governmental processes is just a taste of the poisonous drink that Republicans are drinking.<\/p>\n<p>How long can this political madness go on? Not long!<\/p>\n<p>You see, America\u2019s political parties have a history of going through changes. For example, at one time in America, the Democrats that you love, also called \u201cDixiecrats\u201d back in the day,\u00a0insisted that full equality for their region (the South) required the government to acknowledge the legitimacy of slavery outside the South. The Southern demands included a fugitive slave law to recapture runaway slaves; opening Kansas to slavery; forcing a pro-slavery constitution on Kansas; acquire Cuba (where slavery already existed) and accepting the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>I guess you could say, back then Democrats acted like Republicans and Republicans acted like Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The idea and the practice of politicians caring more about themselves and their reelections and less about the needs and wants of their constituents is nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>So, sucking up to and bowing down to the worst President in American history is not at all surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Why haven\u2019t the Democrats taken advantage of Republican missteps and misdeeds?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you know the answer, the Democrats can\u2019t inform the people about a political dilemma because they can\u2019t respond to political changes because the highly paid Democratic consultants don\u2019t have a true political message infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t get information to voters and citizens in an accurate, professional and timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the truth is an absolute defense. All Americans should be proud the Republican Representative Liz Cheney, has the balls, so to speak, to stand up and tell the truth about the falling and failing of the world\u2019s most recognized democracy.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve said before political parties don\u2019t deserve respect, individual politicians do!<\/p>\n<p>Most Republican souls are already lost. When the people get fed up, there is nothing the GOP, Grand Old Puppets, can do about it!<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lucius Gantt The Gantt Report: \u00a0\u00a0 The GOP is currently soul searching.
