It's funny that the founder of Daily Kos was so nice to Jon Tester (D-MT) when he was a liberal, and when he voted against the DREAM Act, he called him an ***hole. This is such the trademark of the liberal personality. They are ***holes to those that don't share their beliefs. This is very evident also, when liberals talk about conservative minorities. Boy does the hatred come bubbling up to the surface!

Your comment is only a half-truth.

It wasn't a liberal that invented the acronym "RINO".

The Reps damage themselves when they block helping first responders, or the dreeam act, or the budget, . When they are interested in tax breaks for millionaires but want to deny the unemployed benefits they will simply be seenfor what they are, self serving.

If a particular person can move them towards coming up with solutions instead of being the wrench ion the works then is when they will succeed.

With this last election the word was they wanted reform and to reduce the deficit, yet they wanted the tax break... They are speaking out of both sides of their mouths, sooner or later someone will notice.

The Democrats damage themselves when they focus on and bring forward legislation that slaps every American citizen in the face by granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens while trying to lie about it and claiming it will in some way help us. During the last election cycle you heard a few things from the Republicans and Tea Party members, lower taxes and LOWER SPENDING to match. Democrats can't seem to grasp the concept of both, not just one.

The right wing's darling Reagan passed amnesty for illegals. Not a path to citizenship, not a worker permit, straight up blanket amnesty. W also called for amnesty and McCain also tried to push an amnesty bill through congress. Republicans LOVE illegals.

The republicans ran on that, then laughed at the nieve people who voted for them.. McConnell promised no earmarks, then added 64 of his own to the tax bill. They say "no spending!" except for 700 billion dollars in tax breaks to the elite.

Funny, I don't see any "damage" done to the GOP, considering they just gave a thumping to the democrats, across the country, in the most recent election. It's not like any of those issues, and where the GOP stands on them, wasn't known BEFORE the election.

And the congress, which was controlled by the democrats, was supposed to SECURE the border, which of course they never did.
