Quote:I can't think of anything this President has done that I would want my representative to go along with.

No offense Eric, but that's because you don't think the government shouldn't do anything at all. The GOP doesn't support your ideals at all.

 

The thing is the country was founded, amongst other reasons, on the principal that differing viewpoints are good and lead to a strong and enlightened nation. Up until the last couple of decades the parties could find common ground on common sense things and work together to accomplish great things. It's not the case anymore. Remember when people on the right complained the Dems wouldn't reach across the isle to work with the repubs? They are happy when the repubs don't bend but hateful when the dems don't. It's like they have decided to just stop governing at all. In fact, that's exactly what they have done. You will likely support this but the truth is this is detrimental to Americans and the way our country is viewed around the world. Crying like babies while pushing morality based legislation while attempting to propose nothing of substance for the betterment of our country has hurt our nation and our citizens. 

 

I will leave it with this. There is nothing I support more than governing on your principles even if I disagree with them. What I do have a problem with, is when your principles start and stop at opposing everything a single man who won an election proposes along with he rest of the party that matches his. It's pathetic.
