CLAP, CLAP, CLAP. What a refreshing voice of reason!

You are exactly right as well as some other posters here. This is completely silly and it is getting out of control on BOTH sides of the aisle. It needs to stop and we as Americans need to be civilized about the problems we are all facing. I'm sure it can be done as long as the fringe groups from both sides are not invited. We, as RATIONAL Americans, regardless of your political affiliation, should be able to sit down and see eye to eye and make compromises on both side's part and come together as a nation of AMERICANS in solving our country's problems. I hope that can happen at some point.

People who do things like this are crazy and out of control...I do understand that some people get angry after they will loose their job due to this health care bill and the consequences of the bill...but use words and stay decent...threats are never a way to get things done.

I admire how Cantor is handling this issue and not the way the Dem. are making it out to be...do the Dem. want to blame all Rep. for a hand full of stupid people...

I don't know who you think you are fooling but we know damn well where this is coming from.

Right wing goons indoctrinated with right wing hate.

A classic example of incitement.

wait but isn't that what Cantor did? Blamed the Democrats for the actions of those that shot at his office? Come on. If Cantor had come out and made his speach without adding on its the Democrats fault, I would agree with you, but No I can't. Both sides will continue to play up to those that will ONLY see things one way, and thats their way.

What they've done is played up to the media, made a mockery (EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM) out of those of us that voted them in.
I agree republicans have to do their job but when they are in such a minority what more can they really do besides offer ideas and solutions.

I agree with the rest that both arent doing their job as in both sides can be hypocrites. I dont trust the republicans anymore then I can throw them but right now i feel I must use them to try and get something I want.

Do I think they got it as in that America is sick of the spending, lying to us, that we want real change as in them really working together to stop insulting. Stop lying to us well you get the point. No I dont know they get it. I dont think either party gets it

I personally am more concerned with the citizens of this country and how we act towards each other and the mentality of this country because there is more of us then them. If we can come together then they will have no choice but do their jobs.

Right now politicians are just using us to promote their own goals which is to keep control of us little people. We are ignoring them and fighting each other. So they are going to throw fuel to the fire and they do that

I would say that his type of remarks are the main contributor to the issues. Many conflicts in history were caused by ignorant people making accusations to who was responsible without having any clue as to the truth of the matter. They are always the first to shout and make the accusation, and usually the first to run for cover after conflict results from their antagonism.

Its also come from years of ignoring them which sends them the clear message of do whatever you want.

We need to take a stand together on things like No corruption from either side if its your side no excuses call for them to be removed for example

When it comes to spending because we all want different things on spending we can agree that 1st we must have a balanced budget if we have that then we can work on finding money for programs that both sides wants.

Its not hard we make it hard. We make it I'm right your wrong. We have to start looking at it like a marriage if you ask me we wont always agree but we agree to do whats best for the marriage ( country)
