Then you are nothing more than what is desired of the citizenry. Instead of seeing that it's two wings of the same bird you are going to bemoan and
attack a single side. This polarity of opinion and action is why we as a nation are nothing more than chattel.

Democrats have problems too, but the republicans bother me way more. At least the American people realize the democrats are full of crap. Many of them believe in the republicans, which is very dangerous considering they are liars.

I don't care what bothers you, the fact of the matter is people like you are the majority. Americans are utterly intellectually dishonest and will play the two party game until they are blue in the face rather than face the fact that both parties are equally culpable in what happens in this nation.
The division and differences you think you see from the outside are part of the show. Topics such as these are nothing but an exercise in mental masturbation, a distraction when we should be storming the capital and demanding every last one of them hang high.
Unless you are calling for full accountability you only do them a favor.

I don't support either party.....not sure why you think I do. I believe the whole thing is a big circle of crap. I'm just concerned that the republicans are selling thier crap too well.

I agree. The GOP has done or neglected to do many things. That is one reason I do not trust them.
Today I read a opinion post I would like to share.

Its called "This insane war on women" here are some quotes;
and one more from the post
The craziness of people that vote for Republicans amazes me.

Its called "This insane war on women" here are some quotes;
Yet the Republican Party seems to live in a different reality. Here we are, smack in the middle of a presidential race, and the right is busy trying to undo everything the women’s movement has accomplished in the last 50 years — most notably reproductive rights, which were crucial in letting us pursue careers in the first place
What truly enraged women about the episode were the craven excuses for Limbaugh’s comments offered by leading Republicans, including three of the four remaining presidential candidates.
and one more from the post
In this climate, even the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act is stirring GOP pots. The bill passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee without a single Republican vote.

This is a totally manufactured issue by the media and Democrat party in order to distract from high unemployment, high gas prices, continuing war and over all incompetency. The Republican didnt bring it up. Rather, it was started by George Stephanepolous (Former Clinton administration) and then carried on as an issue by democrats and their mass media. You feel for it.

The domestic violence bill was last summer, and the birth control issue with L was last month.
So maybe you need to educated or atleast read the linked post before you make quips about me falling for anything.
I educated myself as much as possible by reading everything in reference to candidates. That is everyones job. To be informed not just follow a few "quips" and believe them.
The author doesn't say what political party she is. Blaming the Democrates for this is just showing your sheeple.
She, the author, may be speaking of her own party. Who knows?
All we know are her thoughts, since its an opinion piece. But all the facts can be searched and verified...if your interested in finding anything real.

I hear ya Evolutionsend. I really do. I am a republican (really only by default of the 2 party system, better described as a conservative libertarian) and I hate all the things you listed as well. It is not a byproduct of being republican though, as I am a republican and agree with you. You are painting with a very broad brush, though I don't think you necessarily intend to do that.
It is politicians. They are the problem, left or right, republican or democrat, it hardly matters. It is the tactics used, the demagoguery, the lies, the deceit, the involvement of special interest and corruption. Blaming a group is hardly correct, the blame falls within individuals who proclaim to represent a group. The left or right bias of media outlets helps spread this as well.
The simple fact is, with so many important issues in the country and only two parties with two views to represent the thousands of potential ways to address these issues we get stuck with this crap. Until people are wise enough to see past the BS we will just continue to get the BS.
The solution I think you touched on when you spoke about the ideals. People see politics as a competition. Nobody listens to anybody else unless they are on "their side". The sad thing is we are on the same side.
Democrats can't tolerate Republicans and vice versa. In a truly free country, we would both have a representative government of our choice. That is the whole point of state rights, I would take it a step further and bring it down to local governments and give them all the power.
The problem is the centralized power, as long as that occurs republicans will never be happy and neither will the Democrats. It will just be an eternal struggle fighting against each other, whereas if the power was de-centralized everybody could get what they want or would simply have to tolerate it long enough until they could find arrangement's to move a very short distance away where perhaps their views are more prevalent.

I can agree with most of what you said but, as previously stated, the same can be said of democrats. You should consider changing your thread title to "What I Hate About Politicians."
I'm a conservative and even I hate the GOP. The only thing I like about the GOP is Sarah Palin and only because she's hot!

I ha no party affiliations. I think I made that clear. Let me make it even more clear.
I HAVE NO PARTY AFFILIATION. I AM SIMPLY ALARMED BY THE WILLINGNESS OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE FAILURES OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
