Embarrassed Yet?

Your first description is how I view the Republican Party. Yes, they are united against Obama now (probably because they're angry they lost power), but there is plenty of variation in the Republican party. You would expect the GOP to be small government and conservative, but there are only a handful of those people left. Most are big-government, pro-war politicians.

And when push came to shove on the healthcare initiative, all the Democrats marched in lock-step with Obama. Sure, there were a lot of backroom deals and arguing, but they all came together at the end which is going to cost them dearly in November since most ignored their constituents and voted with Obama. Frankly, I'm amazed at how many Kool-aid drinkers there are in the Democrat Party right now. They seem to follow Obama without question. From my vantage point, they are actually more brainwashed than the Bush supporters. Scary.

i think you view the repubs that way now because they are flailing wildly and their extremist elements are the most vocal and drowning out any voice that even comes close to being moderate or even truly conservative. the reactionary wing of the repubs is creating the din and i'm sure people like lindsey graham are cringing because it offends the sensibilities of people like him. however, for eight years, the voices were pretty in sync. there were maybe two or three repubs who opposed bush's agenda. and probably two of those three lost power as soon as the iraq war was fait accompli.

no one follows obama without question. there was just a massive opposition to the health care bill and the bill was watered down to get those people on board. the thing is that no one is going to join with people whose agenda is solely to delay, obfuscate and impede... and that's what the repubs have done since obama took office since that's what rushbo and his loud-mouthed ilk pushed for.

no one is brainwashed, hon. we just know that what the repubs did for eight years was stomach-turning and, frankly, obama ran on this agenda. i think you are overstating the carnage to the dems in november. i don't think it will be much more than normal loss of seats which happens at some point every time one party has all three branches of government.

I don't really view the Republicans as 'real' Republicans during the Bush Administration. They were more like LBJ-style Democrats to me. In fact, I view Obama as being very similar to George W. Bush in many ways. That's why you'll see me call him Bush-III sometimes.

And sure the Democrats are all over the place. Many operate on emotion, so that's to be expected. However, when push came to shove, they came together and passed the stimulus bill and the healthcare bill, along with many smaller bills.

I'm not that thrilled that the Dems will probably lose a lot of seats in November (which I believe they should), because the Republican Party is no longer the conservative party, but I believe that's exactly what will happen. Time will tell. In any case, America is in a dangerous place right now because the Democrats control the country. That's too much power and it shows.
 
Your closing remarks applied to the Bush administration right through 2006. What a horror.

I have a friend who is a professor of history, who, although not a Bush fan at all, reminds his students that the south of Africa rates Bush's character highly because of his commitment of the US to aids reform.
 
I think you guys are blind......the dems defending the dems, the reps defending the reps and meanwhile BOTH parties are driving our country into the ground.
 
That's not all they call him. I've been compiling a list:

Republicans believe the duly elected President of the United States ia a “boy” who is an empty suit, a racist, a "brown clown", terrorist, child molester, Marxist, Kenyan, watermelon eating, totalitarian, Socialist, drug addicted, gay, Nazi, black, Muslim, Communist, illegal Alien who wants to kill your grandmother and is the "anti Christ"?

What can you expect from a dirty and dangerous political party who spent 8 years tearing this country apart?

Only 6% of scientists admit to being Republican. So they aren't breeding "brains" then they are just "breeding" and breeding "STDs".

oh Christ Dean....your getting more repetitious every post.....i proclaim you the new Chris....and also lets not forget all the nice names that you and your fellows tagged Georgie with....you do remember ...right?....

It's a very selective memory HD.

Yeah, you're right so, lets just call him what he truly is once and for all:

An incompetent moron who was elected by a bunch of stupid fucking losers.

The same losers in great part that elected Bush? You are an elitist, so slope off.

Oh...:lol: Wicked Jester is HARDLY an elitist....:lol:
 
Yeah that post says it all.... "IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT"

What a bunch of children... and their boy-king/man-child Obama!

What is with the Righties labeling our President "boy-king" and "man-child"?

Did you also compile a list of all the names the left had for Bush? It's just politics...don't lose any sleep over it. I would worry more about the bad legislation Obama and his administration continues to shove down the throats of the American people in spite of overwhelming opposition.

You better check the percentage of the "overwhelming opposition."
