The Republicans have been their own worst enemy as they have become Democratic Light. Fewer taxes and with the same pain! Seriously, the current GOP is nothing more than a bunch of self-centered lilly-livered politicians. But they are still better than the Three Stooges of Pelosi, Reid and Obama who have made themselves into the complete laughingstock of the year and they look to continue to do the same in 2014.
The one thing that Obama has assured himself doing is to strengthen the Conservative movement. His failed economic policies, high ongoing unemployment, higher poverty, more food stamps, more disability, high government spending, ObamaCare fiasco, Benghazi, numerous other scandals and egotistic lies will lead to a general Conservative boom for a long time. Obama has alienated the youth vote and the seniors while trying to dupe and destroy the middle class. It is a blueprint for disaster and he will long be remembered as the WORST thing to happen to this country in a long time (if not EVER).
So while the current GOP may go the way of the Dodo, it is launching a new breed of anti-big government, anti-Obama voters and that can only spell good things for America.
The modern liberal has sacrificed rational thinking and objectivity for fanatacism and idol worship. In the eyes of a liberal, Obama has done, and can do, no wrong. To suggest the fallibility of Obama would invite the possibility that he is, in fact, not a divine being and is subject to error or miscalculation. Such notions cannot exist in the cult of Obama, thus this thread.
Do you think that liberals will start carving swastikas on their foreheads soon, just like the Manson followers did?

Hmmm. Yeah, I can see the similarities of providing healthcare for millions that could not afford it previously, fighting to raise the minimum wage, giving people that lost their jobs thru no fault of their own an extension on their benefits and all the other issues that are good for the working class...and breaking into someone's house and butchering them.
What's with the right wing and their totally off the wall comparisons? The stupidity never ceases to to amaze.

In reflecting on this year, and every year since Obama was inaugurated, it is startling how opposed those on the Right are to his every move. Is it likely that EVERY single word he utters, every single action he takes, and every single idea he has, is wrong? No. The only explanation for the irrational opposition is that the GOP realizes that President Obama signifies the end of the GOP. It signifies that the President of the United States can no longer be elected by a white majority. It signifies that the country is moving away from the ideology of the Right. Throughout President Obama's two terms, he has demonstrated why this move is a vast improvement. He is smart, poised, dignified, and humble. He exudes class, integrity, resolve, and he is resolute when faced with adversity. He challenges others to approach the problems that plague this nation, in a high and noble fashion. Foreign nations respect and admire him. Our enemies fear him because they know that he stands for high principles. He reaches across the table to get stuff done, and invites opposing viewpoints. "Ideological purity does not get stuff done", he once stated. He is a President for ALL, not just the rich and privileged. He cares about the 47% that the GOP has utter disdain for.
President Obama has accomplished a great deal while in office. He has been an exceptional President thus far. His greatest achievement, by far, is that he, by his actions, words, ideas, and programs, represents the END of the GOP.
I don't think he's quite finished into making this country into a one-party dictatorship. I think he's close.
The republican party should be completely wiped out, then the democratic party needs to be split into two parties. You can see this split already happening with this Third Way representing the right wing Wall Street democrats like the Clinton's, Obama, Schumer, versus the more populist democrats like Elizabeth Warren.
According to those on the right 2000-2008 never happened. We went right from the Clinton surplus to OBama's Presidency...but we know better...don't we?
Apparently you don't. There was no "Clinton surplus." That's a myth, and it has been debunked numerous times by people who understand the economy, economics, and government data on such things.

Your response PROVES my contention- Liberals have sacrificed rational thought and common sense in favor of fanatacism and support for the failed policies of ONE MAN. Such a "thought process" has vacated any connection with individual thought and critical thinking and has entered the realm of blind idol worship.
1.providing healthcare for millions who could not afford it previously?
a. 100 million more Americans will lose healthcare coverage as a result of Obamacare
b. the vast number of "enrollees" are Medicaid. They could have signed up for Medicaid before.
c. premiums have increased for most Americans
d. deductibles have increased for most Americans
e. access has decreased.
2. Obamacare looted $750 billion from Medicare
a. reimbursement has declined for providers
b. providers are either limiting access for medicare patients or bailing entirely
c. After the 60% cut in reimbursements for total joints, good luck in getting a knee or hip in the US.
3. Minimum wage?
I have no problem with people earning what they can. However, such a move-
a. increases unemployment
b. drives many small businesses out of business
c. results in price escalation around the economy, which results in the worker gaining no net buying power.
4. Giving benefits to those who have lost their jobs?
a. How long should "unemployment" go on? Two years? Four years? Ten years? Twenty years?
b. There are many, many jobs available, yet most are too lazy to take them. A good example is welder's assistants in the oil/gas fields. $30/hour in ND, IN, and OH- $20/hour in TX, OK. However, it is hard work, so people would rather stay on unemployment.
c. MANY of those on unemployment say that they can get a job, but choose not to do so, as long as unemployment benefits keep coming in.
I am COMPLETELY FOR THE WORKING CLASS- that is where I come from. However, "helping" the working class does not mean-
1. Developing NAFTA and China most favored nation trade status to gut the manufacturing sector
2. Raising taxes on business and individuals to decrease economic activity
3. Adding Obamacare to deter employers from expanding and new hires
4. War on coal to put whole regions out of work
5. Opposing domestic energy exploration on federal lands, which could put millions to work
6. Supporting EPA regulations which stifle business and thus employment
7. Raising taxes on the middle class to implement Obamacare
8. Flooding the US with illegal immigrants, driving down wages and increasing federal costs
9. Opposing school vouchers, which allow motivated students to ascend in life
10. Cutting wages and benefits to military families (gee.......... are they rich?).
11. Opposition to national right to work act
12. Supporting the trial lawyers association, bleeding industry and reducing job creation.
13. Supporting massive cuts in medicare (thus reducing access) in order to support an ill conceived plan of Obamacare.
You see............................. you are the worst enemy of the middle class. The path to ruin is paved with good intentions.
Frankly, IMHO, the death of the Republican party isn't Obama's fault, but Bush II's and McCain's. Those two gave a platform for extreme-right-wing politics that took off with a vengence due to the coming-of-age of the Web and its no-holds-barred-lies-are-fine paradigm.
It'll be interesting to watch as the Tea Party ilk splits off - as they're doing right now with their multitude of contested campaigns against mainstream republicans - until they actually form a new party.
Bush II and McCain are nowhere close to being right wing. That is the problem with the current Republican party in Congress... they are not right-wing enough. Too many moderates.
