So Obama is not that popular. Most second term presidents are loathed the second term. The right wing base is outraged by what has happened with gay marriage, The ACA, Benghazi, The IRS scandal, The VA scandal and the liberal nature of younger voters on social issues. So with this tsunami of goodness pointing to a right wing gain this fall what does the GOP do? Doubles down on the very things that got them defeated in the past. They has basically given up on the female, Hispanic and young voting blocks with their stance on abortion, immigration and gay marriage. All I have to sat is good luck with that. Oh and good luck with that anti poor people BS your side is spewing and have been spewing over the last six years. That crap is another thing that makes the GOP look like goons. Good luck.

I find it interesting that you think our Republican representatives should sell their souls so they can get re-elected. Are you a Democrat or something?

Why do you care, you're not going to vote republican anyway? In fact, that you're here ranting about it betrays that you think the GOP will be taking the midterms.
 
The Republicans are certainly not pure as the driven snow, and any of us who look at things objectively know a lot of what they got wrong over the decades. We have never elected a perfect person who is without sin or error either to Congress or to the White House. And I'm going to guess that since no such person exists, we never will.

But one thing Republicans have more often gotten right, and have been demonized for it, is that they are far less likely to cater to the special interests than are the Democrats. That does not mean they have never done so. They are just less likely to do so. They tend to treat minorities, women, gays, etc. like PEOPLE and not like victims or helpless, weak folks who can't make it without big government's help.

For instance, Democrats seem to have such a poor opinion of what women are capable of doing without government help and intervention, I, as a woman, would be embarrassed to identify myself with that party. I rather prefer being treated just the same as any other person and Republicans, by and large, treat me that way.

It's too bad that Republicans do such a poor job of explaining that and do it so badly that they are drowned out by the opportunistic opponents who accuse them of all manner of absurd things.

Are you saying they don't already? The GOP is just a different side of the same coin of the Dems. BOTH the Dems and the GOP say they hate larger government yet they use it for THEIR things. Both sides are hypocritical and BOTH sides are sellouts to their so called principles.

I agree. I just think backward thinking is worse and at least the left represents the poor and middle class. The right is bought and paid for by big business so populism is not their strong point.

The right is being drug down by its base. They are afraid to talk common sense on social issues because it would piss off some social conservative morons. They bash the poor because they are paid for by big business.

The right represents those who are willing to earn their living through honest work. The wrong represents those who just want government to take what others have earned, and give it to them; without having to do anything to earn it.

Bob. I though you where smarter than that. The left is made up of working class Americans who have been screwed over by corporate greed. The right is bought and paid for by those who want to cut wages, undermine unions and destroy the middle class. This has been going on since 1980. This myth about left wingers being lazy is just right wing propaganda in response to them being defeated over and over when they try to cut entitlements. Liberalism always wins in the end in spite of the rights constant bitching.

Plenty and you know it. They block everything the president tries and then have the nerve to say he has not done anything. When he does try to do something within his power the GOP sues him. They try to blame every bad thing that happens overseas on him yet bad crap happens when the GOP is in office. Last time I remember 9-11 happened when the war hawks where in power.

Dude, giving out free stuff ALWAYS wins, except for those who are paying for the stuff. When we reach the point where their are more people getting the free stuff than those paying for it liberalism rules.

Conservatives left the GOP 6 years ago, so no, I don't "know it". As a registered Independent I have no say over and am not responsible for anything the GOP says or does.
 
I will never understand people who believe that parties, should cater to different factions of people, to groups with special interest.

these factious combinations are what is destroying America, and the founders said they would if they ever got control.

we talk about equality under the law.....yet we have people who want government to bargain /dispense material goods and services, to win their attention.

Liberalism always wins in the end. That is a fact. You can jump ship and call yourself a independent all you want but as long as conservatives continue to hate on the poor while trying to act like working class hero's the left is going to win.

Of what? I know your side will spew something stupid and blow it. We can always count on Louie Gohmert, Steve King or Michele Bachmann to act braindead. Then there are those birthers and Neo confederates.

I don't disagree as far as special interest goes but the liberals tried to fix that and the SCOTUS had a brain fart and said that was free speech. The vote was 5 to 4 and the conservatives where the 5.
