I have seen both political parties go too far and show intolerance for opposing views.

The Left has the problem of a bad economy and not knowing how to regain the majority....

The loss of the house in 94 due to overreaching on too many issues that took a far left position cost the Dems the House, the Senate, and many switches... What would be more accurate is that the Democrats and the Left have not had many new ideas that could not be or have not been taken by the majority....

The conservatives have made a great deal of progress simply because everyone wants new ideas and the conservatives have had the political will and power to act on their ideas...

Contract with America, Welfare to Work, and many other ideas have move the majority of the country from center left to center right...

And conservatives have the megaphone...

Left media outlets have lost significant market share...

Finger pointing happens on both sides... Just look at the postings on this forum....

It's not a question of finger pointing,it's a question of ideas or the lack thereof. The Left brings nothing to the table other than the contrarian view. They have lost political power and influence in this country because of it.
People will never follow leadership that attempts to lead by simply "not being the other guy".
