You believe Republicans and Democrats are similar??

O.K.
There may be a few liberal republicans and a few conservative dems, but I'd dare say there is a pretty big difference between the parties in general.

Those in office will do whatever they think is necessary to stay in office. They will lie and tell you what you want to hear.
Those not in office will do anything to get in office. They will lie and tell you what you want to hear.

I always think of the late great comedian
Jun 10, 2015, 1:05 PM
|

Bill Hicks and his take on the President's power. To paraphrase, basically after his inauguration he is led into a dark room with the heads of the big industries and whatnot sitting down and then a grainy film is played of an angle of the JFK assassination noone has ever seen before. Then the lights go on and the President is asked "Any questions?" ??

Other than maybe Paul. None of these guys give a blank what who think, and they dont even think. They are saying whatever their doners want to elected. Bill Hicks was brilliant

Yes, they are both big government. That's why the GOP attacks

the Tea Party. They see smaller government as a reduction in their status and power. Basically the same as the Dems. When John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are pushing Obama initiatives, it's pretty dang obvious we are all being played.

than just "don't like big government and that is why they are hated". There are other things on their "non negotiable 15 core beliefs" website list that raises eyebrows on both sides of the table. The Tea Party speaks to a certain audience for sure.

The only difference between Bush's foreign policy and Obama's, is that Obama has killed more people.

Exactly. How anyone can call any of those radically far
Jun 10, 2015, 8:34 PM
|
|
right or backwards or ultra conservative or even racist is beyond me. That's the same platform Reagan ran on and he's one of the most popular presidents ever. The Tea Party platform is basically the founding fathers platform, the Constitution. If you think that platform is far right you're probably a socialist.

comment or the gun is sacred mumbo jumbo. The English comment reeks of screw immigrants. C'mon, I don't need to explain to you Tea Partiers. Immigrants suck, the poor are a drain. An unhealthy fixation on gun rights that aren't being threatened....etc....etc.

misrepresentation that gives you liberals a bad name amongst anyone who actually thinks and has a shred of character. However, since those people are the minority and folks would rather watch a YouTube about some welfare idiot converting her bathtub into a cereal bowl, congratulations... you win.

Please give me the correct version, the real accurate Tea Partier because when I see them or listen to them whine around here, it is about immigrants, poor people, guns being taken away, and if they are really cooking, you get a Kenyan or Muslim comment about Obama thrown in. I just let my shallow mind soak it all in.

Establisment Republicans don't like the "tea partiers"....
Jun 11, 2015, 12:36 AM
[ in reply to Yes, they are both big government. That's why the GOP attacks ] |
|
(there is no tea party, as there is not a single member of congress that has run under that party) because they are the nuttiest of the right wingers and are helping to make The Presidency nearly impossible for Republicans to win, because Republicans have to kiss up to the nut jobs. And come general election time, kissing up to nut jobs comes back to bite you with the general electorate.

as regular folks in the US they are very different.
As politicians they have different talking points, but once elected very few follow through with anything.

political system.
"actually electable politicians"
Quit focusing on "electable" because those "electable" politicians serving now are the ones who have ###### us over for years, yet folks like yourself are more than willing to bend over and grab your ankles just so you get those "electable politicians" in office.

Yeah, like voting for those two liberal Supreme Court justices. Lindsey is an idiot and shouldn't go around acting like he is military, he is JAG corps and nothing else.

'Socialism', so be it. 'Capitalism' in the guise of privatization is exactly what lead to corporatization, off-shoring of the industrial base, Citizens United, Obamacare, wars, wars, and more wars.... Half, if not more, of our budget is spent on "Defense" or "Homeland Security". The government gets hacked while they're spending $Billions to hack US citizens... It's time for a change.
