Lets just say it: The Republicans are the problem.

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.

    I disagree ---- I support many positions of the GOP - however, currently the GOP is ruled by the far radical right...therefore, I refuse to support their ticket..... yes, the Dems are a little to far left for my taste, but given the big picture I prefer the current Dem over the current GOP.

    Im being sarcastic of course.
    I would say the republicans are the problem in a couple ways though.

    They are a constant thorn in the side of the America hating progressive/communist party.

    They also hinder the patriotic efforts of the conservatives who wish to retain all our founding fathers envisioned and some even bled for.

    Our current state is the result of irresponsible Liberal ideas permeating society, weakening our social fabric and drive for success, and basically devolving the normal progressive of immaturity to maturity into a state of endless adolescence, where the Gov't is the Sow and the citizens the piglets.

    The real problem is not a party but the system and the fact that nobody in this country seems to see it. The propaganda of generations has taken hold especially among conservatives who actually believe the lie that capitalism works.

    In reality, by any reasonable measure, it's a complete failure but most of America is blind to it. It's created more poverty, death and destruction than any dictator in history yet most Americans refuse to even entertain the possibility much less look at the evidence.

    Indeed they are the problem and the fix is to disenfranchise them.

    That goes without saying. But to disenfranchise them will prevent THAT party from putting candidates on the ballots.

    Mostly because saying no to everything and anything proposed by the dems or the president does help but it also does help that most dems dont have a backbone or set of balls

    No, without Christians most early scientic discoveries would not have happened. A D. James Kennedy produced DVD "What would have happened if Jesus had not been born?"

    James Kennedy is a moron. If Christians didn't exist we would be living on mars and have cured cancer.

    No you would be living in a cave picking your ear with stick. Go ahead don't even look at the DVD too afraid to learn something new that might change your ideas. D.James Kennedy passed away several years ago. God seems to be taking his best servants home to himself.

    Christians are the ones who want to live in the past and in caves, the hate progression. Again, just because you buy into propaganda does not mean I will.

  • shadow76 America... 2012/05/04 08:02:11

    The Govt is no longer us. Look at all the mandates and laws Owebama has imposed by circumventing Congress. Congress couldn't get them passed because The American people did not want them.
