When they discuss whether rape and pregnancy, and whether the latter is controllable, they are acting C-R-A-Z-Y.
That's a small percentage of the GOP.

One was recently offered up. He was outstanding, a proven repeated winner. He was defeated because of his religion.

His name, Mitt Romney

It's not just the TP that's driving the GOP crazy bus. Even more so, it's the rabid religious right.
Yes but where you gonna go, to the looney left? They're just as wacky. The libertarians are extreme. Everyone is nuts.

Moronic dems (is there any other? Why, no, there isn't.) seem to forget about silly Hank who thinks Guam will tip over if too many people move there.

Now this, my friends, is the ABSOLUTE crazy. Stupid crazy. Certifiable. The dumb azz should be locked up for embarrassing himself and his party.

I never get tired of this. It epitomizes what I think of democrats. He got re-elected.

Why don't you discuss what conservatives stand for? Smaller government, less taxes, more personal freedom, less regulation.

You won't discuss any of those things because you are just parroting talking points, spoon-fed to you by the mainstream media. So you resort to the personal attack. Because of course, all republicans are exactly the same. And we're all mentally ill, doncha know. No proof, but the left never lets facts get in the way of a good personal attack.
You know that is so rich coming from a Republican. How many threads do we see on here attacking President Obama - not his ideas. 'Obammy; Obummer; Moochelle; dirty Commie; facist pig . . .

Come ON people. Classic projection.

I'm gonna vote against every Republican for every office on every ballot until they regain a few brain cells.

That's where I'm going.

When it comes to women it seems like the GOP wants to regulate womens' rights to their own bodies and restrict their personal freedom, and put in place all kinds of invasive services that will result in more government and more taxes.

They want to cut back on education. They want to take away affordable health care for people.

The only people they seem to want less regulation of is rich white men on Wall street, and of course those "people" called corporations. That is why the GOP has alienated at least half of the American public.

They seem like a party of hate. And if you want to defend them, tell me who they do support, whose interests are they looking out for? Because it sure doesn't seem to be the average middle-class person or god forbid, a poor person.
