"Thank the Dems. Thank AARP."
Neither the Dems nor the AARP have controlled Congress for the past 12 years and the Executive Branch for the past 6.
The Republicans are MORE guilty, because they command ALL of the levers of power.
You're right, I should have been more specific. I didn't mean the Democratic Party itself as much as ALL the leftist elites in general. Republican politicians are terrified of their constituents en masse, who routinely lap up what's fed to them by Oprah, Hollywood, and pop-news, and spit it back out at the ballot box.
So out of fear and confusion, the Republicans fold and become cowards.
