Isn't China The Best Example Of What Full-Blown Republican Leadership Would Be Like?

[KittyWampus]

No regulations or safety when it comes to corporations and those regulations that do exist are got around via corruption?

Perhaps if Teabaggers are really so unhappy in America under Democratic leadership, they should move to China?

[DJ13]

1. No

Im thinking more like Zimbabwe.

[lazarus]

2. Republican, yes

as China is no longer Communist, but is rather Fascist.

Tea Party/Ron Paul types? That's Somalia.

[The Wielding Truth]

3. Most people should remember Potterstown from "It's a Wonderful Life".

That's the result of the Republican worship of financial gain over social conscience.

[MajorChode]

4. More like Mexico

No regulations.
No safety.
No middle class.
No unions.
Massive corruption.

5. Pretty much, except that a Republican America

would require that women give birth to as many babies as possible. Contraception would be banned, along with abortion.

[get the red out]

8. Yes, and

Anyone not suitably "Christian" by their terms would be looking at a difficult life.

6. Most of them shop at Wal-Mart

So they should be right at home there.

7. China is Much More Competent

and believe it or not, much more concerned with improving the condition of the population.

[Juche]

9. China supposedly has one of the most pragmatic, intelligent political classes on earth

That is my understanding, that many are engineers and very pragmatic. The GOP with their superstitions, rabid ideology, rejection of climate change and embrace of creationism would not fit in there.

Full blown republican leadership would be like what you saw in latin america in the 1980s. Military authoritarianism, anti-communism, anti-worker, Friedman economics, etc.

Also China is working on a universal health care plan while the GOP in the US tried to block ours.

[HughMoran]

10. Yep

just throw in a bunch of religious laws and you've got Republican America.

[TheKentuckian]

11. Nah, China is more corporatist gone wild-unchecked bluedogs

Full on Republican buys you Somalia.
