mpohl 1 #1 February 28, 2015 The Republicans can't govern because they have never developed any policies that make sense. Deport 12 million immigrants (but don't punish the employers who hire them)! Let the poor, those with preexisting conditions and the self-employed go to the emergency room! Keep 100,000 troops in Iraq forever! Torture terrorist suspects! Crush labor unions! Make workers pay higher tax rates than hedge fund billionaires! Poison the environment! The only tool they have to enforce these tantrums is to shut the government down.

mpohl 1 #12 March 1, 2015 I agree! But the fact is that this country has been hi-jacked by the 20%. That includes the 1% of outsized wealth, and the 19% of uneducated followers. And another 31% of religious fervents, "follow the leader,", exceptionalists, etc. In a winner-takes-all society, 51% is 100%. P.S.: What really went wrong with the GOP over the last 20-30 yrs is this: they are no longer representing the best interest of Americans. And keep in mind: Americans that didn't vote for them are still Americans! They are just beholden to their sponsors and ideology. Nothing else matters to them. kallend Just as not all Muslims are bent on killing infidels, not all Christians are self-righteous assholes and not all atheists are Satan worshippers, so not all Americans are right wing extremists.

The only tool they have to enforce these tantrums is to shut the government down. It's like watching a bunch of five year olds crying and taking their ball home. It's not a party issue. Both major parties are awful, and supporting either of them is supporting more shittiness in the future. They're also not as different as their supporters try and pretend, except in a few points. One that I do take issue with is the torture one, you can't exclusively chalk that up to republicans. The rest… probably fair enough, but it's disingenuous to pretend that the democrats aren't doing piles of horrible shit, too. Shutting the DHS down is a step in the right direction, even if the republicans are doing it for dumb reasons. Next let's shut down the IRS, the DEA, close some bases overseas, stop funding and supplying militaries overseas, etc.cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #23 March 1, 2015 kallend***And ... the EPA, ...

Where the Government ignored the safety concerns and began eminent domain proceedings. The corporation told the government not to do it. Government didn't care and despite the repeated warnings decided it'd be great to put a couple schools in. Because that's what governments do. Maybe that great and caring government didn't contaminate soil and groundwater around MCAS El Toro, either.
