Franklin Graham: 'I Have Resigned From the Republican Party'

By Todd Beamon

Dec - 22 - 2015

Franklin Graham has resigned from the Republican Party and become an independent, declaring that "I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or tea party to do what is best for America.

"Unless more godly men and women get in this process and change this wicked system, our country is in for trouble," Graham, 63, wrote on Facebook.

Graham called on "Christians, even pastors, across the country to pray about running for office where they can have an impact.

"We need mayors, country commissioners, city council members, school board members who will uphold biblical values."

The budget deal was widely slammed by Republicans and conservatives last week, who charged congressional leaders — including new House Speaker Paul Ryan — with "betrayal" for putting through a spending plan that financed many of President Barack Obama's programs.

I've been there for almost two years. Two years ago, I was getting screamed at as a traitor. Today, I see the same people who screamed at me saying what I said then.

It takes time for people to open their eyes, but once they do, they don't close them again.

The GOP is finished. It's time for something new, better, and not corrupt.

The alliance with the super-rich merely ended up getting the super-rich everything they wanted, while leaving us impoverished because what we want is "too expensive".

Agreed!

Do you think that IF Trump gets elected, that the GOP will get reformed?

Do you think that IF Trump gets elected, that the GOP will get reformed?

Maybe. Trump has fixed ideas about several things.

We will have universal health insurance, for example. How is not so clear. Probably, employers will be required to provide it, and Medicaid will provide it for everybody unemployed. Medicare may also expand. Trump is going to be results-oriented on the matter, and the RESULT Trump wants is for everybody in the country to have health insurance.

Now, the GOP has resisted the notion that everybody should have health insurance. There are various reasons given, and unspoken, but it doesn't matter. The view that somehow we are going to go on without having universal health insurance, that somehow that burden is not going to be taken on and regulated by government, including the cost of prescription drugs - that idea is dead. Several of the other GOP candidates speak of ending Obamacare, but they do not propose any sort of universal insurance system to replace it.

Those men will never be President. Not ever. THAT is something that the GOP is going to change into: a party that actually gives a shit about poor people and working class people and the middle class - and that is willing to have responsibly-run government assistance for health and pensions and poverty relief, et al. If the Republican Party REFUSES to change, if the core of the party really is the libertarian "Safety Nets are Evil because Government is Evil - Survival of the Fittest" party, then that party will capture its 25% of the electorate, and the Democrats will rule forever.

Of course, in its current configuration the biggest problem for Republicans' squarely facing the truth that a thick social safety net is necessary in the post-industrial modern world is that fact that a thick social safety net costs a lot of money, and that money must be taken in taxes. The Middle Classes and working classes are taxed out. The super rich pay a lower portion of their overall wealth and gains to wealth as taxes than the upper middle, middle and working classes do.

Now, the party of the rich - the Republicans - has managed to keep American eyes deflected downward - into really despising the poor - for a long time. But as more and more middle class and working class people fall into poverty and depend upon the social safety net, the jig is up.

The broad parameters of what the hard-core GOP would call "state socialism" (even though it is NOT really socialism at all - it's a social welfare state, which is different) are NECESSARY. The Democrats know that. The Independents know it. And the Republican middle and working class have COME TO know it by their own hardships. The rich no longer have a thick phalanx of downward- looking people around them. The whole public, except them, has been deeply humbled by the financial crisis. The constituency no longer exists for "Trickle-down" economics.

We shall have a social safety net that includes universal health insurance, and social security, and public schools, and probably government loans for college, and unemployment insurance, and food stamps. And the rich are going to pay probably 10% more of their income, or 0.33% more of their wealth, in taxes to pay for all of that than they currently do.

The days of middle class and working class people - particularly the military - closing ranks around the rich to protect their wealth, and then expectantly looking for the crumbs to be cast down from the table, are over.

The current GOP does not realize that, but the voters do. Trump "sounds like" a Democrat on social welfare, because he frankly accepts reality. And he'll win the election because he's right: that IS reality. The rich are unrealistic - they have to pay the same proportional share as everybody else, and the people who simply hate the poor, or hate the idea of stability for the middle class, are going to be the big losers as the future unfolds.

There is no longer the electorate to roll back Obamacare and replace it with nothing. There is no free market in health care, and there is never going to be. It is a need, and government will provide the coverage for everybody who can't otherwise afford it, and the people getting government insurance are not going to get, and will not accept, threadbare service.

Traditional Republicans will RESIST all of this. But then, American Indians, Germans, Japanese, and every other stubborn defeated power in history has resisted its defeat. The Republicans cannot hold the line on this matter, because they are outnumbered, and their numbers are getting smaller and smaller. Their numbers are getting smaller because they are, in fact, wrong, and their stubbornly-held position on the matter is, in fact, stupid and self- defeating.

Too many people have suffered for too long to let the Republican Party continue to block what must be done, and Trump is not even throwing them a figleaf.

We will have universal health care, and it will be good even for the poor, and the government will pay for it, and that means that the taxes on the rich will go up, by the closing of all of the important loopholes. That is a fact.

Either the Republicans, led by Trump, will accept reality and change to become the sensible caretakers of the social safety net - OR the Republicans will continue to fight for a losing principle, dwindle, divide the opposition to the Democrats, and we'll simply be ruled by Democrats for a century, or for forever.

The GOP must change its mind on social welfare. It must accept the necessity of it, stop trying to beggar everybody, and accept that the rich do have to lose the excess protection and pay the same percentages of gross wealth as taxes that the middle and working classes pay.

Trump gets that. I think that enough people get that that, with struggling Republicans and Independents, and cross-over Democrats who want jobs again, that Trump will win.

The hardest resistance to Trump will come from the rich. THEY hate him, because he knows the tax breaks and game, and he's going to change the rules to take their "cheats" away from them.

This will be very good for the country, and - if the GOP dumps the interests of the rich in favor of the interests of the broad middle - it will make a new middle class party that can call itself "Republican" if it wants to, but that will be very, very different from the party that currently calls itself that.

If Trump gets elected, reform is going to be inevitable, because to win the election he will ALREADY have to have defeated the rich and the party establishment, and ALREADY built the coalition. His enemies will be clearly identified, and he'll have gotten power by defeating them, and will continue to smash them and turn the party into something updated and new.

So yes, the GOP will be reformed by Trump's win.

If we elect any of those other assholes, including Hillary, it's an absolute guarantee things will continue to worsen. Trump is far from perfect, but he's the only chance we have and appears to be setting the stage for an eventual necessary popular rebellion in this country. If nothing else, he's stirred up a large hornet's nest.
