Democrats are the radical Party. They are now Socialists. Following in Obama's Marxist footsteps.

Each party has its extreme edges.

"Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for." - GEORGE WASHINGTON

Well since there was a none of the above I had to say no. I think both sides are getting to radical. Both parties just do it in differing ways. But both are destroying the nation through their policies. Both are destroying the peoples rights to be free from government. Both sides are destroying the very fabric of the nation through corruption from the vested interests, at the expense of our freedoms. Both sides are to blame, but so are the people who have kept voting in these traitors to the nation, and so are the ones who have not even cared enough to participate.

No, in fact, it's quite the opposite; the Republicans are starting to actually relax now . . . So, I've noticed . . .

Yes and no. The radical Republicans are getting more radical, but they're from the older generation. I believe our generation is more tolerant, socially, and once they get a foothold in the party it will start changing.

I think the whole political system is getting way too radical. Out of hand actually is more like it and losing touch with the American people. If we as a country fail to unite and make ourselves stronger than the political system we are going to fail and they will continue to gain more power.
Time to stop all the extremist notions and come back to reality with common sense.

You're right. It is time to stop all the extremist notions and come back to reality with common sense. That's why we nominated Romney. And that's exactly what he and Ryan will do.

I fail to see how either side will help us in any way. You know full well none of them can fix this in four years. You know that no one can do this as Congress has stonewalled the hell out of many good things.

reply
Stryder to Glfer65 2012/10/06 15:28:04 (edited)

Romney and Ryan may not fix it in just four years, but they can definitely improve it and begin the process of turning it around. It's going to take years to undo this trainwreck of an economy that Obama and the Dems have created.

reply
Glfer65 to Stryder 2012/10/06 18:15:47

I am sorry but I can't just blame one party. This is where we have gone off the tracks. Some people are hell bent on blaming one party when in fact we know both have created this deep hole we are in.
The whole political map has been going down hill and WE are to blame for this as we should have made our voices heard long before.

reply
Stryder to Glfer65 2012/10/06 23:05:05

I blame the party that's been in power and control over the last six years. Yes, the Repubs have held the house since 2010. However, they can do nothing as long as the Dems have the Senate and the WH. So yes, I'm blaming the Dems and Obama straight up. Their record speaks for itself.

reply
Glfer65 to Stryder 2012/10/06 23:35:57

I am not saying no. just making point that we are too busy playing the blame game and not enough on voting. Also, we cant say the GOP will make things better just on their merits.
They have plenty to fault on this.

I find them just soft versions of the Democrat party. I'd say weak and spineless is closer to reality. The Democrat party is more radical in their anti-American ways.

I have to agree to a point as both sides have their extremist ways in different directions I might add. The key is we have lost any bipartisan attitudes and the ability to make things for the greater good even though it does not satify everyone it needs to be done.
You own a business, so when you make decisions you make it for the geater good even though not all will like it right?
Same applies to the nation things have to be put in place despite not having all agreeing with it but knowing it is the right thing to do.

Not all Republicans are conservative, some are reactionary in the extreme, ergo, radicals.
