GOP reformers missing the mark

"We all know the problem. It’s Rush Limbaugh and his imitators and Roger Ailes and his network. They drive this hatred daily, and they intentionally misinform and lie."

until the GOP "reformers" call out the hate-mongers and conspiracists, there won't be any reforming the repub party.

bumper sticker: Is that true or did you hear it on FoxNews....or talk radio?

Rachel Maddow and Ed do the same thing, its pretty pathetic on both sides.

Night after night Fox news shows video of the president saying he wants the sequester to pass (this was back in 2011) and night after night MSNBC shows the Republican vote unanimously on the sequester back in 2011. What MSNBC doesn't show is that half the democrats voted for it and the president supported it. And what Fox news does not show is that the Republicans voted for it.

Its a stalemate, neither party even talks to each other anymore, the president throws up his hands, and the sequester is not a big deal (at least this year it isn't), which gives them time to fix it.

At least Fox semi-tries to have a democrat on their show once in awhile, MSNBC just has a panel of democrats that pat themselves on the back. But both news shows are pretty pathetic in their relentless bashing of the other side, thus growing the gap between them.

you're mistaken. your false equivalency is just that.....false.

I know there's a video that FoxNews is showing....clipped and edited to misinform.

For 4+ decades, the GOP relied absolutely, on the political science suggesting that hating on the "other" was a net positive for them in terms of the white vote. They came to a fork in the road, about 15-20 years ago. To the left, was Reconsider and Adjust Road. To the right, was Full Speed Ahead Street.

Alas...10-15 years down Full Speed Ahead Street, the bridge is out.
