I am saying this as a fellow Democrat. Marginalizing the GOP by branding them as "insane" makes us look incredibly stupid.....since they are probably going to whip our butts this November for very good reason.

No, the GOP is succeeding politically precisely because their insane nutbaggery isn't called out as such in the public forum. We're going to have two branches of government controlled by people who equate science with witchcraft.

You need look no further than this very forum to find evidence of people opposing even a discussion of governance with science-cabal conspiracy theories.

Edit: Most GOPers probably aren't wackadoodles, but all the important ones are.

Seeing as everyone in Washington does the same bull crap over and over again, and seem to think its going to come out smelling better the second time, is insane. That goes for both parties.
THIS ^^^^

Anyone who makes it a point to bash the GOP as being crazy while remaining dead silent about the Democrats is the insane one. To remain partisan in either party is the definition of insanity.

You are the exception to the rule, and understand exactly how it appears to any sane person. Like the OP, Frank is just another insane partisan pointing their fingers at the other side and calling them the crazy ones. It's a circus of the brain dead.

Indeed. Let's call it what it is.

You havent struck a nerve, you simply showed how ridiculous your thought process is.

Its LIBERALS who want to flood the nation with cheap labor, thus pushing DOWN the salaries and treating people like humans.. How the heck you come up with your synopsisis given the platforms I'll never understand.. Its all hate, thats all you have

That reason being low voter turn out with a pinch of voter suppression to help tip any close race. BTW there is an 85% chance, as of today, that the Dems will retain control of the Senate.
