For the past couple of decades, the GOP has been purging itself of both rational officeholders and rational supporters. They've got the psycho "religious right" in a death embrace.
We all see the results.
Pub candidates can't say that they understand science or that they aren't eagerly awaiting the rapture. They have to be openly hostile towards any non-christians.
You mean the way the Democratic party purged itself of Blue Dog Dems (when was the last time you heard that term?) in favor of subliterate, irrational lunatics like Pelosi, Reid, Boxer and Obama?

Democrats didnt purge blue dogs.
In fact, Blue dogs won and still do win primaries all the time. Blue dogs lost general elections to far right wing Republicans.
So if you want to attack the disappearance of blue dogs, attack Republicans, not Dems.
The real question is why would the Democrats vote in such a lying corrupt candidate as their wanna be president?
Because she doesnt lie or is as corrupt as much as the Trump campaign makes it appear, shes just like any politician in that regard, the Trump campaign has successfully waged a smear campaign and character assassination of the woman and it seems to have worked to garner the Support Trump now has.
Curious Trump would paint his opponent as a liar when he is the master of the art 2015 Lie of the Year: the campaign misstatements of Donald Trump | PolitiFact
Also lets look at the people buying the Trump BS =
Presumably you think Obama and Biden are.... competent?
LOL! That's hilarious!
Your profile says that you are a software engineer. You should know what unpaid overtime is all about. Did you know that Obama issued an executive order to raise the overtime threshold to 47K from 23K? Originally he wanted it to be 53K.
Did you know that Bush lowered taxes and got us into two wars at the same time. That action by Bush is unprecedented. The advice given to Bush by his Secretary of the Treasury and Alan Greenspan was to protect the budget surplus. The advice was ignored by Bush and Cheney.
Did you know that during the Bush administration there was an effort to doc salaried employees for taking time off while not paying them OT?
It's almost October and the economy has been making progress for years. Obama has presided over a steady growth in the economy with no economic calamity looming.
Perhaps the laugh is on you for your failure to research these issues.
I don't completely disagree about Trump, McCain or Palin. However, try a little intellectual honesty. Obama has been a terrible president, and was hopelessly unqualified going in. Everyone knew that. Hillary has a history-it's just that it's all "bad" history. Perhaps the worst SS in history, incompetent, lying and corrupt. Dems didn't have ONE decent candidate even heading into the primary (with the exception of Jim Webb, and he dropped out after the first debate). Both candidates are horrible.

Nope.
I mean the way the rational Pubs have been usurped by brainless bible-thumpin' bozos.
Our presidents have competently performed the role they were told to do by their campaign contributors.
Interesting analysis.
I noted that gold rose steadily during the Bush years. Could it be that Bush purposely tanked the economy with his friends safely in gold?
After all Bush did admit at one of his 1% fund raisers that they were his constituency.
In a prior email I said that Bush went against the advice of his Treasury Secretary. This is documented in Paul O'Neil's book "The Price of Loyalty".

To add/
While a steady diet of rightwing bs would have us believing Obama was a failure a bit of research would say otherwise, =
George W. Bush got us into the worst economic mess in decades. During the last few months of his presidency we were losing seven hundred thousand jobs a month. He couldn't even testify before Congress without Cheney's assistance.
McCain had the darling of the Tea party as his VP candidate. When interviewed Palin could not demonstrate a command of the issues. There was one report that she didn't even know what the Fed was. McCain was old and Palin would have been next in line.
Romney was another rich mans son. Usually the son's talent and drive don't match the father's. I won't however put him in the same class as Bush and Palin. We can trust that the middle class would not have done well with Romney.
Now we have Trump running. You Republicans must admit that his performance was **** poor the other night. He's nothing but a slick salesman with a couple of good ideas about trade but nothing more than that.
It's time for you to think about who you are making the most powerful person on Earth. FOX, Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh shouldn't be doing your thinking for you. It's very important that you think for yourselves and do some independent research on these people who you choose to lead. The jury is no longer out on your poor choices for President and Vice President.
Why can't people post the truth instead of what the liberal media has told them.
You complain about the repubs and ignore Hillary and Obama and Kerry before them.
So I ask you , why can't the dems nominate someone competent?
These types of posts are silly and juvenile.
