Interesting, I'm sure many on here will simply dismiss this video because it's the YoungTurks but do your own research than if you don't believe me or them. I think judging by the many insane threads on this site alone I think they definitely have a mental illness. check them out

Americans Say GOP Too Extreme, Democrats Giving In - YouTube

And this is where they got the info from, this is from the conservative site Politico :
Poll: Republicans too extreme - Kevin Robillard - POLITICO.com

One of the definitions of crazy is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

Michele Bachmann is once again trying to repeal the ACA.

Dennis Prager is correct. Liberals always attack the person, not the ideas. This proves that beautifully.

Why don't you discuss what conservatives stand for? Smaller government, less taxes, more personal freedom, less regulation.

You won't discuss any of those things because you are just parroting talking points, spoon-fed to you by the mainstream media. So you resort to the personal attack. Because of course, all republicans are exactly the same. And we're all mentally ill, doncha know. No proof, but the left never lets facts get in the way of a good personal attack.

The real definition of CRAZY is libs constantly worrying about Republicans.

Get over it and move on. Start a hobby. Get a job. Do something productive. Republicans really couldn't care less what you think.

Actually, both parties are either certifiable or corrupt or both. When somebody tells me they are a straight ticket Democrat or Republican, I look for their lobotomy scars. For both operate in complete denial of reality at all times, catering instead to whatever cadre of self-interested people vote them into power.

Here's the thing. Either party, if its agendas were fully realized, would create a bankrupt totalitarian state.

So you would be the Village Idiot to wholly support either.

I personally think there is a massive leadership void in the upper echelons of government. From the President right down to House and Senate leadership. Some might be surprised to know that i'm as pisssed at GOP leadership as I am Democratic leadership.

Damn! You beat me to the punch! But yes indeed, it appears both parties are corrupt, and both parties have lost their mind.

I think some Republicans agree with these principles but the party as a whole doesn't abide by them.

Smaller government doesn't mean allowing prayer in public schools or putting numerous restrictions on any health care procedure. It also doesn't mean supporting Arizona's SB 1070 law. Doesn't mean supporting the Real ID act. Also doesn't mean supporting wars in the middle east.

Less taxes doesnt meant supporting raising taxes on 47% of the population.

More personal freedom doesnt' mean supporting 21 and over alcohol laws or blue laws, etc... Seems more like more regulation.

Not as crazy as the liberals who think Bush brought down the twin towers.

What they are doing is trying to make the Conservatives and GOP look extreme and that they, by comparison, are centrist, when we all know the opposite is true.

There are no issues to discuss with them really. All that needs to be done is to point out what they are doing and discredit them until they are but slime ozzing back into their swamp.

You can NOT make sense with them, anymore than you can make sense with a tapeworm.
