Indeed. But if liberals can't use the "well Bush did it" argument as justification for something, you can't use the "Well Obama did it" argument for justification for something.
Time for The GOP to share the destiny of The Whig party. Is it surprise that party which doesn't believe in evolution can't evolve?
I would like to see the Republican Party replaced with something better. But unfortunately what liberals are proposing is to make the Republicans more like the Democrats and that would be bad for America.
Republicans can move to the right and become as relevant as libertarians. I'm ok with that btw, good luck.
We already have the far left Democrats. What are you suggesting, the somewhat less far left Republicans? That will only make the country worse instead of better. We need a clear conservative message not one that has been blurred by the political consultants.
Your kind should be represented by libertarians, others (less radical republicans) should be represented by centrist, fiscally conservative republicans. Gee, I might even vote for them. I like fiscally responsible policies but without all that religious mumbo-jumbo...
I doubt if the GOP could keep you for long. Inevitably you would find a Christian hiding the closet somewhere and scurry back to the Dems.
I want alternatives to democrats. At this point it is either crazy republicans or big spenders democrats and I want normal middle of the road policies without "gold nuggets" like Michelle Bachmann or alike...
You want fiscal responsibility, gay marriage and abortion on demand through the 4th trimester? I get it.
What's it like back there in the Eighteenth Century, Granfer? Whig a bit tight? Blunderbus well primed? Jesus wept!
Whig Party? I wouldn't even give the GOP that much courtesy; more like the so-called Reform Party; they'll likely fade a lot quicker then the Whig Party did.
If you cannot explain the poll, blame the other guy. I am loving it. - - - Updated - - - When you can't explain it, blame the public.
More complete bullcrap. It;s NOT the OVERT CRIMINALITY of the SLEAZY OBAMA ADM. that is "making him look bad"...it's the people DARING TO POINT IT OUT. Got it.
No, you didn't. You ranted about Obama and blamed him. Does he have that much power to make the public give you unfavorable ratings?
i have been saying the GOP needs to reform itslef for years, yet every year they continue to pander to the far right and continue to play political games that are harming this Nation in the name of regaining power. I no longer care if the GOP reforms or not, te longer they continue to do the same things over and over while expecting different results they will continue to fall more and more from being a major player in American politics. I, for one, would like see a Third Party that represents the vast majority of moderate Ameicans, one based on common sense and is willing to do the work required to start getting the issues dealt with. A Party that wil reform failing programs, instead of simply of being lazy and claiming the cure is to kill needed programs. I want a Party that wants to revamp our tax system so it is fair for all and al pay their fair share. I want one that actually represents the will of the People and not big business an other special interests. I am never going to get a Party Americans are too interested in repeating the same old failed policies and claim it is not their Parties fault for any of the failures. We get the government we deserve.
I didn't mention Obama although I suppose I could have. He's the food stamp president and Obama voters love getting a free meal. - - - Updated - - - Obama and the Dems pander to black people and illegal aliens. But when they do it you call that representing their base.
So, in your opinion, the average American is a dimwit, and anybody who dares to criticise Obama is doing so for political points? Wow. I think that the more likely answer is this: Obama is an incompetent ignoramus who's FINALLY getting called out on it. Of course, when the media protects Obama, it's easy to see how the scandals have little effect on his numbers. The guy could get away with ordering drone strikes on Americans (hmm...) and nobody on the left would care.
It doesn't help the Republicans at all when they spout utterly irrational propaganda! The media are faithfully repeating and trumpeting these "scandals" everywhere, yet the Righties insist the media "protects" Obama. Propaganda lies only work when it is not utterly obvious to even the most clueless that the claims are BS.
Of course you suspect that you have no choice but to suspect that despite the fact that I am not have said so on more than one occasion. I don't spend too much time in the political section though because after about 8 years of it I've decided to leave it alone as much as I can over the last 5 or so years. The reason for that is because of the complete and utter insanity of those who have hijacked the right wing. What I meant by my statement was that the foundations of a party that could truly help this country are there somewhere hidden behind all the fundamentalism and obstructionism. But I learned many years ago I cant have this discussion because if I dont believe the left to be as bad or worse I must be a Democrat. I dont choose which party is more to blame for this that or the other thing I simply look at the facts and react accordingly. Does the left have many issues to, certainly, how many times do you think I would have to say that over the course of say 8 years before my criticism of the right would have integrity? I can give you the answer, it doesnt matter, the talking points and propaganda have set in and now we cant recognize enemy from ally unless they walk rank and file with us. What is American about that? Where can democracy be found in that? How great can we be if we cant even see our faults? I wouldnt mind agreeing to a complete restructuring of the left if it meant getting the right to admit anything theyve done and are doing wrong and not some bull(*)(*)(*)(*) percentage point but a real reflection of their social perspective. The first time I hear a candidate put the meek of this country before the top 1% in any relative and constructive way Ill be shocked. Its not about making them into liberals its about real solutions and a real understanding of the people and problems we face without all the hyperbole and delusions.
