Both Sides Are Bad

[BenGunn]

Watch out, it's starting anew - political pundits telling you just how equally bad both Republicans and Democrats in Congress are. DON'T believe it. That's just what the Democratic leadership would like voters to believe. If we believe that they are no worse than Republicans, it gives Democrat politicians an equal/better chance at winning mid-term elections . We (US voters) had better take Harry Reid and his cronies out of power in the Senate, as well as, maintain Republican control of the House. We the people need to undo and reverse the course set out by the current bunch of socialist/communists in power today. Not saying that there aren't corrupt Republicans, but at this point in time, the Democrats are more/most dangerous.

Is being stepped on by an elephant better than being kicked in the head by a jackass?

[sigmtnman]

Yup.  My throat can't tell the left boot from the right boot.

[satalac]

If it's a politician, I don't trust them, I don't care what side they're on. Self servants. 

[Guest Bonedaddy]

They're all rope testin' material IMO.

[Guest TresOsos]

They are both bad, just the Democains are worse that the Republicrats.Remember its evil and the lessor evil.

I don't need the media to convince me, I already knew it.

Sorry Mr. BenGunn but the overwhelming majority of Republicans ARE just as bad as the vast majority of Democrats. In fact, it many ways they are WORSE because they PRETEND to be Constitutional conservatives when they are nothing of the kind...at least with most Democrats you know what you are getting!

It's TIME TO DEFUND THE RNC and concentrate on electing PEOPLE that have morals, values, and principles that they won't lose within 12 months of being in office...PEOPLE who believe that the Constitution actually means what it says and says what it means...PEOPLE who will do WHAT IS RIGHT rather than what is politically expedient to get them re-elected...PEOPLE WHO WILL GO HOME after a term or two in office.

 

In case you missed it, please note that I didn't say one word about those people being part of any particular political party and that was NOT an oversight on my part!

Democrat politicians suck.

 

Republican politicians suck.

 

Independent politicians suck.

 

Do you see a trend building here?

[BenGunn]

Thanks. Interesting responses.

 

There's an interesting email going around, I quote it: "Don't forget in  2014 & 2016 THAT Democrats and ONLY Democrats gave you Obamacare".

Would you like a list of Republicans who just this week voted to fully fund it?

[Links2k]

Seems like some of you are finally coming around. BOTH MAJOR PARTIES SUCK!

[Dolomite_supafly]

I will say that it isn't the Democrats or Republicans or Independents that are the problem. It is incumbents that are the problem. Every single politician is the same when they start out. Their first term in Washington they are all about doing what is right and what is best for the country. Then by the second or third term they turn like zombies. They see all the other representatives making millions with backdoor deals and decide they want to be a part of it so they turn. Then those who were outspoken with public speeches suddenly fall silent and what was once votes for the country turn into votes to fill their own pockets.

 

When Chris Christie first came into office there were all kinds of people saying he was a concervative's conservative and savior to the Republican party. There were some who were even saying he should run for president. Look at him now, he has become part of the problem not only for the Republican party but for New Jersey and for the country. He has even passed some of the worst gun control laws in the country as of late. Hard for me to believe he is a conservative if he is for gun control as well as Obamacare. He condemned Obamacare but now he endorses it, no doubt because some backdoor deal will make him rich from it.

 

Ted Cruz, they next savior of the Republican party will fall in line soon as well. He may have already changed because the once ouspoken representative is now quiet. I suspect he is turning into a zombie as well. It will have happened in record time and was definitely one of the biggest reversals in a long time. He should never be allowed to run for president anyways because he has maintained the citizenship of a foreign country well into adulthood. I can understand if you were a dual citizen then denounce as soon as you become an adult but he has felt an allegiance strong enough to a foreign country to maintain that citizenship.

 

Because of the decades of being abused by encumbents. both Republican or Democrat, I will never vote for an encumbent again. If I have to vote for a liberal to oust a crooked and embedded Republican so be it. I would rather take a chance on someone who will, more than likely, put the country first than someone who has proven to put themselves ahead of the country.

they all are bad.  at this time i will vote for a old shoe before i vote for the ones that we have in now.

 On a number of occasions, the Republican House has voted to repeal Obamacare only to have the Democratic Senate kill the effort.

Yeah, but that's still a far cry from "democrats and only democrats..." IMO.

As I and I guess many and more see it is you have your choice between condiments but any which way those condiments are still being served up hot on a sh;t sandwich.


So which do you prefer, mustard and sh;t, or ketchup/catsup and sh;t?

To expand on your analogy I see the choice being between mayonnaise and honey mustard.

 

I thoroughly despise mayo and only hate honey mustard, but I do love mustard.

Pretty easy to vote for something when the vote has absolutely no meaning.

 

When they COULD have done something to stop Obamacare (defund the mechanism that implements it) the vast majority of Republicans in the house and senate CAVED and many even attacked the few Republicans who were actually attempting to do something that actually made a difference.

 

Now, those same Republican leaders are declaring war on ME and every other true conservative who are fed up with Republican elitists bull ####. As far as I'm concerned, they and the whole damn party can go to hell...I'd rather vote for a liberal Democrat at this point than these worthless establishment Republicans.

I always compare it to being punched in the face or kicked in the nuts. Neither is pleasant but one is less pleasant than the other. I'm certain that Americans deserve more than lining up to pick their punishment.
