We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than
40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past
writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was
warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the
core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
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.

+22good morning jimbo. thanks for pissing off some more of these brain dead repugs, who actually believe they are going to get rich, and become one of the 1%. imagine, basing their entire political philosophy, on this fantasy.
But Mitch McConnell said it best and didn't even hide it.... Damn high unemployment, damn record outsourcing, damn record foreclosures, damn failing education, damn widening income disparity, damn people having to live in the back of semis, in vehicles, and in alleys, damn the economy, damn America! "Their single most important goal is making Barack Obama a one term President". Yet still a bunch of moronic, podunk, f*cktards against their own interest out of sheer hate will still vote for these evil power hungry dollar whores. Unbelievable!

Again, the article was published by a Right wing site.
Some facts you may not know:
The only three presidents who have shrunk the size of the federal government in the last 40 years were named Carter, Clinton and Obama. The only two president in the last 40 years to actually reduce spending year over year in the last 40 years were Carter and Obama. In the last 40 years, real wages have only increased once, under Clinton.
I'm guess the Democrats are willing to take credit for that. How about the Republicans, are they willing to take credit for increasing the size of government and spending like drunken sailors?
oh look his approval rating hit 12.5% he's on fire

Three PLUS years into Democrat control of Senate and the Presidency.... NO BUDGET!
How in the world could ANY family be expected to survive under the same planning that the Democrats have given? WE CANT AFFORD FOUR MORE YEARS of these ignorant people!
POLITICS: (păl-é-tiks) from the Latin “poly” meaning many, and “tics” meaning blood sucking parasites
The Republicans have no qualms about America being the world's police force and ignoring the nuts and bolts problems of society. Just throw more money at this war and lets start another. Democrats cannot lose their insatiable desire to micromanage and drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator through taxation and class warfare. Lets create a universal healthcare law and worry about understanding how to pay for it or how it will work later on. Oh and lets penalize those who work hard and have earned money from that.
Democrats were more conservative than they are now. Both parties were more reasonable and representative of there stand on issues. There are growing factions in each that are becoming more extreme. The goal for most politicians now regardless of the "R" or "D" behind their names is...

Democrats were more conservative than they are now. Both parties were more reasonable and representative of there stand on issues. There are growing factions in each that are becoming more extreme. The goal for most politicians now regardless of the "R" or "D" behind their names is power, agenda and getting re-elected. It is not serving the people. If anything more Republicans are moving to the left not the other way as you suggest. The illusion is the leftist media that only highlights that which drives their liberal agenda. The media creates news and portrays the extremist Republicans as mainstream Republicans and totally ignore the extremist Democrats.
We need an infusion of independent leaders not driven by agenda, greed, power, social architecture, etc. We need good leaders and the pickings are few in the "D" and "R" camps.
And, who the hell is "We"? Media Matters? LMFAO!!!
Obama had full control of congress after 2008 til 2010 and did all he could to dig the hole as deep as he could. 16 trillion in debt and growing faster than the Obama economy rate of growth.
Not to mention artificially inflated energy costs, insurance rates that are rising at unprecedented velocity and dismal workforce participation numbers....oh and great news in the housing market as well.
Hope n Change baby!
