When Republicans Were Cool

Remember when Republicans were cool?  I do.  I think back fondly to Halloween 1993 a few days before the New York City mayoral election rocking out with Rudy Giuliani, Senator Roy Goodman and hundreds of Young Republicans from around the country to pulsating neo disco music and gyrating transvestite pole dancers at Webster Hall in Manhattan.

 

What the hell happened to these guys?  Now Republicans are a bunch of right wing extremists who like gangsters knocked down an American president before he could get his sea legs toppling the world economy in the process while turning their backs on millions who are without jobs.

 

There are two kinds of good guys in the American mindset.  The Avengers who are comic book good guys opposing comic book bad guys and then there are Rock of Ages good guys who are imperfect but loveable musicians facing off against bad guys who are really just another shade of gray.  I think most of us would go with the rock n rollers and let music undo all the bad out there.

 

That was how it was when Rudy and his team took the city, they were rock n rollers and they turned the Big Apple around before anyone name Boehner, McConnell or Romney took the national Republican spotlight vomiting out their goon politics at the American people and the world.  Yes, there will always be the memories of the Webster Hall Republicans even in this dark and desperate time for the GOP, the nation and the planet.
