How Crazies Are Destroying Your Party (Both of them?)
National Journal ^ | October 31, 2013 | By Ron Fournier

Politics

How Crazies Are Destroying Your Party New poll underscores public's mad-as-hell attitude toward Republicans and Democrats.

This is what happens when the two parties ruling Washington lose touch with America and pander to their crazy-extreme bases: President Obama's competency and personality ratings are nose-diving, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll; barely a sliver of the public thinks highly of the Republican Party; and two-thirds of Americans want to replace their own member of Congress.

Saul Alinsky is who destroyed American politics.

Alinksyites are by definition crazy.

Pretty much the same combination of factors which led the little mustachioed Austrian guy to power...

Conservatives are upset with the GOP and it isn’t because of the “far right crazies”.

It’s because of the McCain RINOs and sell outs.

Yep. It’s CRAZY to want to reduce spending, get government under control and retain our existing health care so the government doesn’t force it to be eliminated. CRAAAAAZYYYYY.

Author Ron worked for the AP for 20 years, so _____ him and the Shetland pony he rode in on.

How come when someone says NO to the crazies, he is labeled a crazy too.
You have to agree with the Dem crazies in order not to be labeled a crazy.
Makes no sense but that's how it is these days.

I think this guy is right about one thing...that a very sizeable majority simply wants to pull the flush handle on Washington, DC.

The problem with that is what is going to come in next to fill that vacuum? The demagogues who are up for that job include some truly frightening characters.

Rush cleared this all up just a little while ago. Cruz, Lee and all other constitutionalists (including the Tea Party) are ALL in the center of American political thought. Our government is currently being run by the extreme LEFT!!!

“The party is split between establishment Republicans and a no-compromise tea party.”

Well at least liberal former AP toadie, Mr. Fournier is right about one thing.

Yes. To compromise with Obama is nothing more than surrender you RINO bastards.

He came from the Associated Press, so there’s our first clue.

Divide and Conquer.

A House divided can not stand.

Change ain’t always all it’s CRACK’d up to be.

National Journal is a faux site where leftists write deceptive articles meant to slam conservatism between the lines.

I think it more accurate to say that a sizable majority would like to regain control over D.C. So that the government (whoever's there) works for US, not vice a versa.

I wonder what Tom Raum and David Expo think about Ron’s ‘success’?

Hope all is well on your end and in between too. :-)

The next few weeks should be fun.

We needed Rush to tell us that?

Guess a lot of folks have been sleeping.

There’s ONE CRAZY that leads the pack:
This is a very, very, VERY lengthy essay on Obama. That said, if you REALLY want to understand what we’re dealing with, you REALLY need to read this one.
