I just had to take a break from reading all these threads here in the Politics section to inform all of you republican or democrat that both sides of these parties have their fair share of morons, and that all of you actually do us a disservice when proclaiming that one side of the spectrum is better than the other. This is not the case. Both Republicans and Democrats are not any better than the other, and if you actually think so, then you all need to evaluate your lives more in depth.

Again, for those of you who represent either side, none of you is any better than the other, and both sides are just as hypocritical, and damaging for this nation. My sympathies to those who are not affiliated with either side. It must suck to see so many sheep crying "No, my side is better!!!", or "Your party is what's wrong with America!!!". Believe me, I long for the day when those with their party blinders on are able to wake up, and see what damage both these parties have caused to this nation.

President Obama himself said the "I want you to hold me accountable".

When people here try to do that, they are shot down. When people try to gather at Tea Parties they are made to look like fools instead of patriots.

I do agree with some of your points (especially the morons on both sides).

It would be nice if we could all get along, but that will never happen again unless possibly another 9/11 type event happens.

I think it is funny when someone posts a fact that makes one side look bad, the response is "well, your side did this"

Are we really proud of that? Essentially folks keep demonstrating how corrupt the whole system is, yet they cling to their side like it holds the answer. Divide and conquer, I suppose.

Bravo. I agree with you!! I do find however that the democrats fail more often to rid the party of evil doers than the repubs. I wish both parties would insist on honesty and fiscal resposibility and put the country first. But it is a power grab, nothing more. I think it is time to support honest people no matter what the letter after the name. Now, to find honest people...where to begin?

Maybe you should go back to posting with the geniuses talking about Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel, Jay-Z and asking can if a guy can be too nice to date and leave us morons alone.

Maybe if there were more "honest people" among the electorate, this discussion would not be necessary. Where is the outrage with all these clowns?

People are listening. Many people here are more receptive than you give them credit for. If you don't just assume they are close-minded.
