when they use the word, "legacy."

GOP.com Republican National Committee

Breaking News | Latest News | Current News - FOXNews.com

Either one of those sites will offer you hundreds of examples of just how low the GOP has sunk at this point.

Right... I get it that you are someone with absolutely no solutions of your own and you spend your time throwing stones in every direction because you have such a poor understanding of how our political process works that you think there is no point in supporting any cause or party. Just another malcontent with a computer that has no idea how to affect change in American politics today. Sad really...

There is a HUGE difference between Democrats and Republicans and the dems are clearly the better choice to lead this country. As demonstrated by the last 5 months of adult leadership in the White House.

One of the smartest politicians in Washington was Newt Gingrich. Every democrat is afraid to debate him. Look who's speaker now....Nancy (I don't lie) pelosi. Hell, Pelosi is a mental midget compared to Newt.

In fact, every chance they get they insult people with educations as "elitists." When did "celebrating stupid" become a party platform?

See how that works? ...

Life is a two way street in this country ... Get over yourself ..

(democrats and republicans are both dumber than a box of rocks these days)
Unfortunately, the argument doesn't go both ways. There's a very strong and pronounced anti-intellectualism at the heart of conservative values today - and an even heavier hatred of the educated mind (they believe that when people develop their minds to think analytically and see that the status quo doesn't work, that they are being brainwashed).

Which is odd, because conservatism used to be about excelling and succeeding. Michael Steele still talks of this brand, but he is fighting a mighty wind.

So long as someone like Sarah Palin is even considered a contender, this fact will remain. I'd say Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal are intelligent Republican hopefuls.

Sure ... anything you say ..

So you won the White House ... So what?
Having a few bucks and a stuffed shirt doesn't qualify anyone for anything, much less being the President of the United States.

The fact of the matter is that neither the Democrats or the Republicans are qualified to do anything ...

They both ignore us, our country, and our constitution ... They refuse to listen to the American people ... They do what "they feel" would be best for the nation ... like we are all a bunch of 3 year olds or something.

The Democrats will never make a difference with insidous posts such as these ... nor will the Republicans.

The Democrats, and the Republicans are losing credibility in America in a very big way these days, and still, they go on and on with stupid snide little remarks to each other.

The nation is slipping right through your fingers, and because you both spend so much time bickering amongst yourselves, you won't even notice that it's left until it's too late ...

If there was ever a time in this nations history that Republicans and Democrats needed to work together, it would be now ... but both are just too damned stupid to realize that ... they'ld much rather just tear each other down at every turn.

It happened in the 1980's, with the rise of the 'moral majority' (which is NEITHER), the 'christian coalition' and the insertion of religion into the GOP. During that time and since, the GOP has thrown away all they stood for and adopted a book of myths, fables, superstitions and anti-science that we politely refer to as the bible. Extreme whack job fundies on the far right have turned the GOP into a joke; we need to boot them out of the political process along with anyone who now refers to themselves as republican. We have to take back our country from such buffoons.

Probably why they have a 28% favorable job rating performance in Congress. With the likes of Michelle (Nutjob) Bachmann, Mitch (just say no) McConnell, John (I'm drunk) Boehner, David (Wheres my diaper) Vitter, Eric (I'm no flip flopper) Cantor.
