I've always been curious. Does either side think that their party has no faults and has never made any bad decisions. That every president on the your side has been great and that the presidents on the other side have been awful. Haven't democrats benefited from republican presidents and vice versa? Just so you know, i agree with some viewpoints on both the democratic and republican side. Why do ya'll constantly attack each other?

Classic thread likely created by some claimed "independent" ...who's able to rise above it all and claim both sides are equally guilty. When you try to pin them down on specifics you'll realize how little they know or care about what's going on in this Country. ...Ignorance is bliss.

I'm really curious. Has your side not made any mistakes or had bad presidents. I'm not trying to be a troll, i'm just curious as to why a republican or democrat thinks their side has no issues?

Both parties are meant to be a distraction.

They bicker, argue with each other, point fingers...

They are too busy blaming each other for where this country is headed....instead of realizing 99% of politicians with an R or a D next to their names do not have the best interest of the American people in mind.

It is time that we stop voting for Parties.....and start voting for Principles.

Exactly. Both parties and the useful idiots that support them are far more concerned with increasing the power of their party than they are with providing actual representation of their constituents.

I was a lot more partisan before Obama. I still call myself a liberal Democrat (because the Republican Party appeals to me about as much the thought of licking a wet turd does), but I realize that the Democrats are pretty flawed. Obama ran on overturning Bush's disastrous policies. Yet, when given the reigns, he more or less continued them. Very eye opening.

That kinda describes me.....I guess.

But I think I have somewhat of a handle of what is going on in this once fine country............it is run by insane people who are driven by a lust for more and more power.........and an urge to further establish their insane ideology.

But that is fine with me, I like watching the whole pathetic show. I truly hope I live long enough to see Mad Max America.

I think most of the attacking is from the extreme ends, those of us in the middle are stuck with the lesser of two evils and well aware the politicians we elect are not perfect.

I could never understand why many of those that hated king george love oby. They are one in the same, after all , they are cousins.
