Standing on the sidelines, playing on the kiddie playground, same thing.
Your utter worthlessness is noted.
Run along now.

Ouch, now Cripplecreek I have some respect for you, but that was utterly uncalled for.
How is saying that one should stick to their principles rather than aid what they consider reprehensible, foolish, or evil a bad thing?

Let's take one issue: Amnesty.
I don't want it passed, I think it would be stupid to do so. We have the GOP as-a-party essentially saying they'll push it if they get power — why should I support this?

Or, let's talk about what they've [not] done: they control the House — that means funding.
Have they cut funding to agencies that clearly overstep Constitutional restraints? (e.g. the NSA, w/ its domestic espionage; the TSA w/ its SOP of routinely violating the 4th)
Have they cut the funding of corrupt agencies? (e.g. the IRS, w/ its politically-based targeting; the EPA w/ its tyrannical and unreasonable vindictiveness?)

So, considering that they've not used what power they do have to any effect, why should we give them more?
Jesus's parable of the Talents is, I think, imminently applicable to the Republican party: that they took what we gave them and buried it.
