The majority of Americans view the Republican Party as out of touch with Americans. This does not shock me at all. Today’s GOP is a just a straw-man operation that serves as the Democrat Party’s boogeyman. Rather than offer real solution’s, today’s GOP comes across as bunch of angry scolds
I agree with the findings of this poll. Even though I am politically on the Right, I no longer feel any connection with the GOP. They use nasty rhetoric and pick the wrong fights.
A case in point is the Florida GOP preventing destination resorts casinos from establishing in the state. The Florida GOP also has banned Internet Cafes that allowed gambling.
Up to 1,000 strip-mall parlors where people can play slot-like computer games became illegal Wednesday in Florida, with the governor signing a ban on the heels of a federal investigation into a charity that authorities say was an illegal gambling front.
The law took effect immediately after Gov. Rick Scott signed it, roughly a month after nearly 60 people were arrested in connection with the racketeering investigation into Allied Veterans of the World. The arrests prompted the resignation of former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, who did consulting work for the group but has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The Legislature and governor acted with dizzying speed, leaving many questions as to the law’s impact and how the centers known as Internet cafes would react. The ban is also expected to directly affect adult amusement arcades that cater to senior citizens.

Four employees were told not to show up for work Wednesday, and bingo manager Kenia Landa said she was worried she may lose her job.
“I feel so sorry, including me, because I don’t know what is going to happen,” she said. “The only support I have is this job.”
The GOP preaches it is the Party of limited government, individual liberty and free markets. In reality both the Republican Party and Democrat Party are supporters Big Government that intrudes on people’s economic and individual freedoms. This is why most Americans despise the Republican Party. They preach freedom, but in reality are no different than the Democrats.
