Why is every damn thread on this thread board anti-GOP? I hate them just as much as you do democrats, but why is everything about how the GOP is so extreme? I get it, its a problem, meanwhile I hear absolutely no news for the democratic party, which truly says something.

Most liberals dont really have lives and tend to sit alone on their computers a lot, plus good amount of them are probably disgruntled college grads with no jobs. Furthermore, considering most conservatives are elderly, they probably dont know how to use computers anyway.

So, when you combine the two, its not really a surprise. Ever wonder why Lief has so many posts?

I just accepted a job offer at one of the top law firms in New York City. What are you doing with your life kiddo?

Congratulation, I’m sure you realize that expectations of your well-meaning wisdoms are now elevated, all the best.


Wait, did t_host1 just post a coherent sentence?

It would be a lie of omission to ignore the role of religion in making the GOP so supremely insane. When you wrap yourself in Jesus (or Allah or whatever in other places), you can get away with anything.

Not just religion, but American right-wing Christianity (which includes but is not limited to much of the white "evangelical" movement.)

Well the Dems are mostly left of center on most issues yeah but they aren't far-left on most things. I strongly disagree with their policies except on a few social issues. I just don't like these idealogical purity tests of the R's ever since the Tea Party has taken over things. The Tea Party remind of little kids in that they don't get they want they throw a temper tantrum. The Tea Party expects to do whatever they want and not ever work with Democrats. Sorry that's not the way the political system works. The Tea Party is costing us Asian, Hispanic, and Suburban Black Voters. I mean Bob Bennet and Saxby Chambliss aren't conservative enough for our party?

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

What reality are you living in?

There's no problem, what you guys think is a bug is actually a feature.

1.  Inability to control the narrative.

2.  Excessive pandering to social conservatives.

The party's economic platform is just as absurd.

"Tax cuts for the rich will pay for themselves!"
"We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem!"
"Get your government hands off my Medicare!"
