Along with a bloated Federal monstrosity that stands on the threshold of crushing the breath of liberty out of what was once a free people.
Government always has been the source of the majority of large and chronic problems.
...except that government as we know it in 2014 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fascist Democrat partei.
DING DING DING!! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! The Obama enabling GOP-E (Boehner, McConnell, pretty much any Republican who's been in Government more than 12 years) are the problem too!!
To quote Jack Nicholson (partially) from the original Batman movie: "Both Parties Need An Enema!"
Flush 'em both!
Boehner, Graham, McCain, and Romney are all Democrats now?
Who knew?
Stupid premise that doesn’t hold up to even light scrutiny.
They are all STATISTS !! Boehner, Graham, McCain and Romney ALL worship at the Alter of State Power.
Their view of government is nearly in line with the RAT Party.
Stupid premise that doesn’t hold up to even light scrutiny.
LOL, you sound like GOPe. Is that you Karl Rove?
The GOPe is evil and needs to be politically destroyed.
The dem party basically is, and has always been, a criminal racket. But the Republicans are no better. We need to completely dismantle the Federal Government, how may pubbies do you think will work towards that end? When they won’t even support a Brett Schundler, a Christine O’Donnell and call their own voters racists in order to keep a senile old man in office?
We need to start looking at the beam in our own party’s eye.
“Boehner, Graham, McCain, and Romney are all Democrats now?
Who knew?”
Which one of them has voted to defund a single one of the dozens of welfare programs? Take your time.....
Did you read the article? Keep in mind the title is largely rhetorical. But I wold cite that the Boehners, McCains, etc are themselves as result of the Progressive influence on the national debate.
Of course you are on the money! I am bored silly with all this talk about Obama; about The Democrat Party. The imminent death of this republic is not due to the Democrats, whom we have known for decades to be ideologically driven by theories farther left than Marx (and Mars.)
The problem is the Republican Party. Somewhere in the 1940's, the GOP Thought Squad figured out that the default position of the American people was Democrat. By then, after 4 terms of Roosevelt, the bureaucracy was firmly entrenched and overwhelming Democrat.
"WTF," somebody up there thought, "we're goin' nowhere, why don't we take advantage of this and just make sure we get our cut?"
They traded responsibility, adherence to Constitutional law, and sound fiscal management for safe seats and power/perks/pork just as eternal as their Democrat colleagues across the aisle.
The only flaw in RINO/GOPe reasoning is that they have no plan for that inevitable day when the whole shebang collapses. That is, no plan for us. Rest assured that their personal asses are well covered.
The ancient Greeks recognized that all democratic systems go broke. It's just arithmetic. It's really over when those in power realize that they can write checks on the public monies to those who will, in return, keep them in power.
Democracy, Poverty, Oligarchy, Tyranny, Revolution. The Founders realized this, of course. They combined Democracy with a Republic:
Ben Franklin's "A Republic if we can keep it."
When something like an Obama can win an election and the other team offers a McCain, it's obvious we can't. Not for long, especially when half the eligible citizenry can't be bothered to vote and their leaders can't be bothered to make sure that ineligible non-citizens don't.
I guess you could blame it on the Democrat Party if you include the Democrats’ wholly owned subsidiary the Republican Party.
Fair enough, but this is due to Democrats demagoguery of the national conversation and and our inability to adequately speak to the relationship of the 10th amendment and the Federal government.
Government is the problem.
It currently exists simply to perpetuate itself, not represent us.
Sorry, but this GOP-E propaganda piece, and it is a GOP-E propaganda piece is flat out wrong because it does not include the GOP-E as part of the problem.
Are you saying that our problem might be bigger than some squishy Republicans? That it might have something to do with the Left having spent the last century marching through our institutions? Are you saying that turning things around might take more than flinging poop at the Republicans?
If so, I must say it is an interesting thought...
You miss my point entirely.
The GO has reached the point where it either needs to be replaced outright, or all those with positions of authority within it need to be replaced.
Nothing I posted made anything but mockery of the individuals I named.
But a large portion of their party needs to be removed as well.
If you check my posting history you will find that I have never been big on political parties at all and many of the founders also expressed that sentiment.
