Since the Gop has taken over both Houses we are having thoughtful discussions on Budgets and spending. Questioning Obama Foreign Policy.

The Time has come we clean house and have fresh ideals an proactive solutions. why do you think Reid is retiring.
Harry even see's the writing on the wall.

Not to fear "Poor Harry" has made Millions on Land Deals in Nevada.
Let me know when that Republican Congress gets past the point of thoughtful discussions to actual actions, hey pass a good 4 Year Budget and impress us, or do nothing and see how much of Congress you still control after 2016. Talk is cheap, time to walk the walk or you will be pushed off the pathway, count on it, the Dems Will point out any failure on keeping the promises.

Pssst attacking Reid is childish and desperate on your part, especially since I am no fan of his, cute

They know the candidates will be Clinton/Bush because out of that pack of crazies up in NH, Bush is the only one who could carry a general election.
"Conservative extremists?" Sounds like an oxymoron.

If the standard (for conservatives) is our Constitutional Republic, as founded, with our Constitution as the Supreme Law of the land, and the instrument of law that protects Liberty, and guides all proposed legislation, etc., then there is only one "extreme," as exemplified by how far we have moved away from it. There are no "conservatives" talking about moving away, to the "right," from our founding documents (toward anarchy). We are only hearing of restoration.

As far as Hillary is concerned, are you suggesting that no one should be concerned about her lying, her duplicity, the corruption, blatant violations of law (using personal email for official State Department business is just the most recent revelation), and her incompetence which resulted in the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi? Those things should be of no concern?

It isn't "anger" pouring out. It's disgust. How can she be trusted? The simple answer is, she can't be.

I think Americans are tired of the "dynasty of Clinton and Bush." We're looking for real leadership, on the order of Ronald Reagan.

Federal spending has dropped $200B since Republicans have taken over Congress

Democrats tend to do better in presidential election years and Republicans in mid-term elections.

"Out of touch"???

I think the GOP candidates still ranting and raving against gay marriage are out of touch.

That might have been a realistic possibility 20 years ago, but today, we so loathe the prospect of anyone from your party being elected president that we'd vote for a potted plant with a "D" after its name. Seriously, I would sacrifice fingers/toes if it meant forestalling the second coming of Dubya. So here's what's really going to happen: we'll use the Republican nominee's opposition to marriage equality to draw young people to the polls. The prospect of Obama's executive order on immigration being rescinded will take care of the Hispanic vote. In the case of the black vote, we'll just point out the latest racist outbursts and attempts at voter suppression by members of the GOP (happens like clockwork). Altogether, that should net us about 30 more electoral votes than are needed.

This sounds like the usual, hopeful, desperation, blowhard rhetoric from the Right that has no basis in reality. Because of Republican behavior during the Bush years, and the 8 years thereafter, Republicans are going to be annihilated in 2016. Dems keep the WH, take back the Senate, and the Right continues its free-fall.
"Keep hope alive" my brotha

But check that Hillary poll in this "Elections" section. Hillary is UNELECTABLE and UNLIKABLE

I think the militant gays trying to force everyone to bake cakes for them are the real folks who are out of touch.

"Tea" stands for Taxed Enough Already.

That is the basic message of that party. I have been to the website and find nothing "nutty" about it.
