. What I don't understand is why you democrats don't stand against the guys on your side that are WRONG? This is where the gap lay. We have got to agree on this. They are all the same damn team..

Here's something I don't understand about you guys here. We, or at least I have stated on numourous occasions that the republicans are not our friends.makes no sense ... how can you take over the politics of an entire country and leave everyone alone in the process ? after that's been done how can you change the laws of the country and leave everyone alone thats effected by those politics ?.... take medicare for instance...
All we want is to take over the country and then leave everyone alone.
My distaine for republicans is just almost equal to that of hard core progressives. It's wrong. What they are doing is just wrong. We know that. We do not support it. The repubs do NOT represent me or anyone I know (Except my Dad because he still belifves Fox is a viable news source.)
I have zero issue agreeing with most of you democrats that the repubs are shady, underhanded, bastards that I'm ashamed of. What I don't understand is why you democrats don't stand against the guys on your side that are WRONG? This is where the gap lay. We have got to agree on this. They are all the same damn team. I know you hate Ted Cruz, but he's the only guy NOT playing by their jacked up rules. If there were a democrat that would step forward and say, "Hey this is wrong. We are here to help at the pleasure of the people and what we are doing is wrong." I'D CAMPAIGN FOR THAT GUY. Blue dog democrats are being over run and lied to. Why do you guys fall for it? Question everything and everyone in power. They DO NOT have our best interest at heart. I refuse to be a sheep. That doesn't mean I'm right all the time, but I'll be damned before I just take what a politician says at face value.
Chris Christie is one of the most underhanded bastards I've seen in politics (leaving out our muzzie commie pres). Why don't you democrats ever EVER have anything negative to say about the people you voted for? People aren't perfect no matter how much you want them to be. It makes you look very untrustworthy when the only people you dog, is on the other side. It shouldn't be dems vs repubs.
For example, gregg abbott and rick perry are doing some sort of "donate and win a chance to meet us" thing. They are NOT celebrities. They are servants. And they are servants at OUR pleasure. If they got on their knees, I MIGHT consider allowing them to meet ME. This is insane. If we do not come together on this, it is game over.... for all of us. The only difference is.... the constitutionalists see it and noone else does. Does that make us crazy? Perhaps... but we will only be crazy till we're not. How many of you were ready for that Ice Storm? I was ready for a year. Ya... I was pretty smug that day. Originally Posted by LovingKayla

If they do their job they present the plain truth of consuming more than consumed or earned, the awful profit and loss statement of life. It happens to businesses, cities, states, nations, individuals and families. As a nation we have gone off the rails of responsibility, at the behest of the majority of our citizens who have discovered short term gain by electing politicians who will give them more than they have produced, the viscous power of the majority over common sense. This awful truth of mathematics has been learned by General Motors, Detroit, Greece, Argentina, but sadly not by the U.S. populace, including banks and the financial community who can depend on a power mad government to print and borrow more capital to keep the music going a bit longer.That was uplifting.
It will stop. The reckoning is like gravity, an irrevocable force of nature that will not be denied despite all of human cleverness. It won't happen all at once, but in slow and painful stages until many years from now we discover we are no longer improving our standard of living, struggling to feed the consuming class and service debt from an ever dwindling minority of producers and reserve wealth. Picture post WWI Germany. That is where fiscal denial leads.
