Quote:The social issues are what drive me away from the GOP. On most of the fiscal issues, especially on the need to rein in entitlements, I am on their side.


But they continue to insult my intelligence with all the hyper- religious nonsense like fighting the teaching of evolution.


Plus, they spend too much time attacking Obama. I wish they would go down to the White House and find some kind of agreement on cutting the deficit. They're afraid to do that because if they evidence any sort of cooperation with the other side of the aisle, they'll get a primary challenge for not being conservative enough.


What happened to the Republican Party I used to vote for? It's gone, gone to the wackos. I can't vote for them.

There is no agreement to be made with 0bama.  That's the point.  He's not interested in negotiating unless the terms are in complete agreement with his viewpoint.  Otherwise, he hits the campaign trail and fundraising circuit demonizing the other side at every turn.  Heck, all of this talk about impeachment?  There are few prominent members of the GOP who have even mentioned it, but that hasn't stopped dear ruler and his democrat minions from running around saying that's what they're planning to do so they can raise money for the mid terms. 

 

This country has a dumbed down electorate that has been chipped away at for decades.  They're easily influenced by hot button issues and shiny objects, and do very little in the way of critical thinking.  If you ever watched some of the man on the street interviews guys like Kimmel or Leno did around politics, it's utterly amazing just how poorly informed most average people are when it comes to what is happening to their country, and I honestly think that's by design.  The masses have been trained like dogs to avert critical thought, and conditioned to defer to whoever is in charge telling them what they can or can't do, what they should or should not think, and who they should or should not vote for.
