I am convinced "Liberals" suffer from a serious mental condition. Republicans have issues too, I'm not taking anything away from them here either... But "Liberals" are a special kind of stupid, many years of rehab and closely monitored assistance is needed..... I'm not even joking, and that is the sad part. :/

We have infrastructure crumbling across the nation, it is also not even remotely secure .
We have rampant crime in the big cities, our education system blows, we are hemoraging middle class jobs.
Taxes continue to rise, the country is bringing in record amounts of revenue and yet we are 18 trillion in debt and climbing.
Medicare and social security are fubar ed.
Military has faced major manpower cuts but little slacking off of ops tempo...(that's going to screw us big time)
Everything I just listed are must fix now yet there are no quick easy fixes.
This is useless political grandstanding ..
Lets ban daughter and son too, because this words describes sex.
