Let's Just Say It

[MaryAnne]

Republicans are the problem. Worst since the Civil War! So dysfunctional we had to have a civil war the last time.

It :jedi:

 

[GordonGecko]

They have two operating procedures now--

1. When they don't have ALL the power (WH, House, Senate), they are intransigent and incapable of compromise...and therefore governing.

2. When they do have all the power...they CAN'T govern because their extremism is unpopular when exposed to the public.

 

[trapdoor]

What a load of crap. The Republicans are misbehaving? Would you like an entire library full of negative comments, obstructionism and ideology that came out of Democrat's mouths when Bush was in office?

The one thing the article gets right, however, is this statement -- "without a massive (and unlikely) across-the-board rejection of the GOP at the polls, that will not happen."

Because the rejection is highly unlikely.

 

[Dawg]

Civil War wasn't about Republicans, it was about Yankees(North) thinking they could just take from the South any goods produced...........as they decided.

It may take Civil War II to correct the condition our countries condition is in presently or we soon going to be worse off than Greece.

 

[Nestor2]

What a load of crap. Democrats, even though they thought Bush was a poorly trained monkey, pretty much gave him what he wanted as president. When the tables are turned, however, republicans won't even vote for judicial nominees they propose.

Who's the biggest group destroying America? Republicans, no question.

 

[Nestor2]

Sorry, Dawg, unless you mean an actual war, we're already in the thick of it.

 

[Dawg]

I mean an actual WAR

presently all that is being done is kicking the can down the road, sooner than later, we going to run out of road....

American Idol Nation a pitiful sight to watch.

 

[worldlymrb]

Is that what the left has been reduced to?. "it's the GOP's fault, or Bush's fault, even Ronald Reagan's fault

But, it could never be your progressive commie policies fault now could it?

 

[YouCantHandleDaTruth]

Yes....

maryann,,it is a historical fact that democrats held more slaves, originated the ku klux klan, fought against the emancipation proclamation, civil rights, and womans sufferage....any library that hasnt already been systematically "cleansed" of embarrassing "progressive" atrocities still has the "inconvenientn truths" in their dusty, basements..but dont try a collage library...you wont find it there...its already purged in an attempt to rewrite history...

 

[Minotaur]

Then republicans should bring it back as subjects of value instead of allowing with their silence those republicans who are giving racists excuses. Maybe bring back the good old days when Republicans cared enough to know what was right and what was wrong. The fact that Republicans know the party was once against racism should make them ashamed of the racism we see rather than covering it up by making racist into the victims.

It's also an historical fact that with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, the Democrats split...between the pro-civil rights Dems and the George Wallace Dixiecrats who had the "Solid South" for decades after the Depression.

Then with Nixon's "Southern Strategy" (in cahoots with Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond) and later with Reagan, the GOP broke from its traditiona support of civil rights and became the Party of "urban crime" and "welfare queens" and "unqualified blacks taking jobs from more qualified whites"....and most of the Dixiecrats became Republicans to today (Trent Lott, Thurmond, Jesse Helms)

The current Democratic Party and current Republican Party...are not the same as 100 years ago.

Tut tut tut oh :nono:...if we, the Libs cannot invoke the name of bush neither can you. Sorry.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Truer words were never spoken....

The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.

When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges.

Why is it when Democrats lose the debate, they bring up racism or sex or immigration? Conservative Republicans want everyone to succeed.

It is the Democrat Party that is obsessed with race, gender and ethnicity. They insist in dividing society into groups of victims who are somehow being victimized by the Republican party.(Imagine that!)

They then proceed to tell these so called victims that they can't succeed on their own, unless Democrats provide them with payments, which are taken from those evil rich people who 'aren't paying their fair share.'

Democrats have been quite successful at this, and how have a the best voting block that Other people's Money can buy.

This phony idea of victim hood has created a huge welfare state, raised and fed and indoctrinated by the Democrat party and their control over non education, who are now totally dependent on tax dollars.

Conservatives know that if the vast majority is told the truth they can succeed on their own, and if they're willing to work for it, a majority will become self sufficient, productive citizens who will then pay taxes and have a stake in the size of the government they pay for.

The last thing a Democrat wants is a self sufficient citizen.

 

[Sgt Staples]

It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise;

Compromise only works one way for a Democrat: More damn spending, wealth redistribution, growing government dependency and higher damn taxes.

No compromise is possible with Marxists.

The Birthers are...Democrats?!?!?!??

"Wanting everyone to succeed" are just empty words.

While you spew those words, the GOP pushes governmental policies across the board that increase the income and wealth gaps between the very wealthy and consumers.
