The right wing conservatives are the ones toting the guns and obstructing the political process in our country. It has been a long time since this nation has been under attack by forces aligned with the likes of the Klu Klux Klan and Neo Nazi Skinheads and White Supremacists, but now the Republican Party has chosen to support the fanatics in the Tea Party Movement who have all the markings of the radical right wing fanatics of the past.

We learned from Watergate and again in 2000 with Bush V Gore that the republicans will stop at nothing to gain and keep power. We spent eight years fighting in a trumped up war and paying the price for our naïveté in thinking that they are playing by the same rules as the rest of us. One only has to look at the way they went about ginning up the Iraq War with lies and half truths so their buddies at Halliburton and the mercenaries at Blackwater could make huge profits with no bid contracts.

Finally, a media outlet that has the balls to call it. The Republican Party is a party of criminals and needs to be held accountable in November.

The reThugs like to prate about the left being as corrupt and such. Maybe so. BUT they don't wrap themselves in moral superiority while having their hands in their bestfriend's partner's lap while prating about HOW superior they are.
I haven't had a whole lot of respect for them since I figured it out when I started thinking for myself.

Now Kim, I have an active imagination. When you side they had their hands in their bestfriend's partner's lap, well what I thought was exactly what you said. Thanks for saying it in a nice way.

Isn't the John Birch society hosting a big Republican event? Did that event happen? Did that sponsorship occur?

Sorry but the title of your post could have either party- they both are guilty. But then so could you be percieved as the seeder. This is not an "event" but an opinion and is miscatergorized as such.

It's obvious that you didn't read the article. Just to let you know this seed is not about the democrats--it's about the republicans. Think you have the ability to comment on the material written?

They say that they believe in democracy but it seems they only believe when it suites them. They have no respect for the rule of law or civil discourse. They seem to believe that the rules only apply to others and not to them when they yell out their rude and disrespectful rants without regard for decorum or majority rule. They don’t seem to realize that the American people voted into office the people they want to lead our nation and they lost. Now they are behaving in such a despicable manner that upstanding republicans are dismayed at their actions. It is obvious that if they continue down the road of violence against those who are trying to improve our circumstance it will backfire on them in November.

I can't wait for November when these anti-Americans are voted out of office. Everything about them is what's wrong with America.
