When the GOP becomes pragmatic instead of ideological, then they will have a better chance at winning nationally.

not even close. Republicans want competition, to allow YOU to decide who to work for, or even an opportunity to compete. Big government limits competition, limits your opportunities, and keeps you down.

I'm sorry, but Obama is continuing what Bush left off in the above statements, including expanding wars and invasions, manipulating the markets and widening the income disparity through more outsourcing. Both presidents are responsible.

I don't think Republicans were always like this. In the past there were many who really cared, but now is seems like the more they screw things up, the more they please their base. How is rewarding that brazen lust for power, coupled with complete and militant incompetence, a good idea for the rest of us?
Once you realize there is very little difference between either party you will continue to be a tool of both parties. They want all of you political ideologues to keep fighting between each other. And they are most definitely getting there wishes.

Not enough have taken that red pill.
They are content with the illusion of their political party and what it stands for.

And when have democrats ever accepted responsibility for anything they did? Never. No president in history has blamed the previous administration as much as Obama and the democrats have, even into his second term he refuses to take responsibility for what he and his party have passed and failed to pass. Hypocrites. You probably actually believe that democrats aren't in politics for personal gain and power too.

I think you are a myopic fool.

BOTH political parties have had corruption and negatives.

How many Democrat dominated cities have you been too?
