Birtherism. Global warming and man's contribution are a hoax. Cutting taxes on the rich and the economy will magically improve, and the crumbs will trickle down. Secession is American or God-given, a viable option. Etc. . . .

My question is why is there so much ignorance in the Republican Party, and why so much pandering to ignorance in the Republican Party? What happen to the once great Republican Party?

The people who voted for them over the years changed,

unfortunately the Republican party failed to change with them.

So, the Republican party lost touch with the majority of the American People.

That's why Obama won and they didn't.

I know...we cling to all of these other anachronistic concepts too. Working for a living, self reliance, self-control, dignity, reverence for life, the Constitution, personal responsibility, personal sacrifice, national service, individual freedoms, not having kids you can't afford to have...

You're right. What a bunch of wackos.

Helps them to rationalize why they (the government) must be in control. The government must do things for people because people are too stupid to take care of themselves.

I think that's pretty close to the truth.

EDIT: some other things we believe in: defending our nation, Christ, the right to self-determination, the notion that opportunity is open to all...

The more I think about it they're right. We're just awful.

Truthers. Carbon taxes will actually decrease global warming in a meaningful way hoax. Raising taxes on the rich and the economy will magically improve, and government trickle down. Talk of secession in America is merely used as a talking point instead of a viable reason to reach out to the disinfranchised etc.

Ignorance in the democrat party makes them point to the beam in their neighbors eye before casting it out of their own eye. The only real question is, what happen to the two party system?

Obstructionists at heart, the conservatives *only* start talking about bipartisanship when they are in the minority. Otherwise, it's their way or the highway. But when liberals do the same thing, looking to reverse years of Republican abuse of the system, they're "evil".

Obstructionists? The last time I checked the GOP increased the debt ceiling when Obama told them to do so. So when Barak says jump, they all ask, "How high?"

Now Obama wants Congress to relinquish their role in approving a debt ceiling so he alone can do it. I guess the progressive way to avoid "obstructionism" is to have a dictatorship.

Not to worry Suzianne, this is who is at the helm of the GOP.



There is no real opposition party, just a side show for idiots who think that we actually have alternatives other than the status quo.

Yeah, this one irks me.

If the President tries to do this, I would strongly support impeachment. It is the House that controls the purse strings -- that has to be made clear.

OK, you can reasonably interpret my post that way, but that's not how I meant it. More precisely, a significant part of the coalittion of conservatives are Christians.
