How sick are you of 'Republicans/Democrats are evil!'???

[Conservative]

Seriously, on a scale of 1 to to, with 1 being not sick at all, and 10 being completely fucking sick of it...

Just how sick are you of the whole 'Republicans/Democrats are evil' mantra throw out by both sides?

 

[Mad Scientist]

Especially from those who claim that there is no God or call Religion "brainwashing".

BOTH sides are corrupt and would sell us all down a river.

 

[California Girl]

I am sick of both sides blaming the other for every ill around the world. It is mindless and boring.

Well now, evil is a very powerful word, one which is used too often I suppose to characterize a belief system that simply challenges their own.

I prefer Callous, a word which aptly describes the Tea Party fringe which seems to control the Republican Party today. Bleeding heart liberal is clearly not someone who would be characterized as evil which is how the Democratic Party is characterized by the right.

That said, I don't believe the fringe right is evil, I simply believe their belief system begins and ends with this concept: "I got mine, I want more and I don't care who suffers in my quest" vis a vis to the left which is more apt to follow the Golden Rule.

Obviously it doesn't bother most of the people that post here. "You suck" is USMBs bread and butter...

 

[Cowman]

"You're evil" Doesn't bother me nearly as much as the very real situation of people calling us liberals "more dangerous than terrorists who are destroying America". From the type of people who fantasize about situations where they might have to use their love of guns to take back their country from us godless infidels.

We kill and capture terrorists... what do you do with somebody who you believe is more dangerous than a terrorist?

but but.....

 

[hjmick]

Does this poll go to eleven?

 

[GuyPinestra]

I don't think liberals are evil, I think they're just gullible. They buy into all that Kumbaya shit with a quickness and never seem to learn from history that it's really NOT all rainbows and unicorns out there.

On the other hand most conservatives blithely swallow the premise that Big Business and Big Government walking hand in hand will somehow benefit them, even though history shows that THAT idea is total bullshit, also.

The whole paradigm needs to shift, this Us versus Them shit is KILLING all of us!

What is more dangerous?
I say going bankrupt is.
It's libs unfunded entitlements to the tune of 119 trillion dollars.

I think many on the far right are truly evil for the statement you made which sums up both parties.
The hard right will put people on the streets, destroying their social security and medicare, ship their jobs over seas,..etc They don't about destroying people's lives, all their care about is more and more greed for themselves.

Policy resulting in action is much more good or evil. Reusing lies and generalizations make me sick. People who are too lazy to read OP articles and make stupid judgements relating to their accuracy makes me sick. People who give a reach around or a flame, with a single emoticon post makes me sick.

What makes me sick is the morons that will use stupid name calling, instead of logic and facts, to support or refute opinions of others. So yes, Conservative, you make me sick.

 

[WillowTree]

Democrats are evil.

Don't forget that "asswipe" is the rw mantra for anyone with whom they disagree. I recently got a PM from some rw saying that I'm "lame" or something like that. I have no idea who the sender is or what he/she/is was referring. Its just childish and deserves ignoring.

Our entire political picture has become like that. President Obama made a huge mistake in trying so hard to compromise and work with the Republicans. They said they would not work with him. They said they would bring the government to a halt and they have done as they promised.

Most shameful has been that they have done such enormous damage to our country and have said they plan to harm us even more.

Considering you are guilty of everything you just mentioned (even the name calling in this very post), you make yourself sick... as you do the rest of us, Dickless.

yet here you are, crying about it.

The stupidity of this poll is it ignores deeper realities. Except for Willow, I don't see many people posting that a person is evil, based exclusively on whether they have a D or an R in their name. What I see more is ignorant generalizations to postings, making stupid talking point good/evil attacks. "You're a socialist", "liberals are all baby killers", "you just hate the rich", "you're a partisan asswipe."

I don't expect the internet to change much. It hasn't for the 20 years I've been playing on it. I used to think of it as a hangman's hood. People are just going to be more apt to act like assholes, and let their darkside come through when they're not face to face with people, and their real identity is hidden.

Expecting intelligent discussion, as a rule more than an exception, on a political message board, is a fools errand.

Unfunded? That goes to management and priorities, does it not? BTW, where did you get the figure of $119 trillion?

Congress wastes money (I won't use a figure, but that Congress is wasteful should be non controversial). Getting 535 self serving individuals to agree on anything is a monumental task, particularly when each is most concerned with their own job.

If you agree with this premise - on the national, state and even local level - it's no wonder we're in an economic mess, a mess created by elected officials whose misfeasance got us where we are today.

Yet most of us support our member of Congress, otherwise so many incumbents would not be elected time after time.

A fix is easy, yet impossible. Easy because elected officials do not have a business plan and an unbiased observer could provide one; impossible because special interests set the agenda by influencing (nice, safe word) members of Congress with what they believe are entitlements (not bribes as I see it).

Franklin was spot on when he said we have a Republic if we can keep it. We haven't, we are a Plutocracy and blaiming "libs" won't fix that.

No, using a term like moron, to describe someone who ONLY uses drive by name calling or single emoticon post is an opinion based on supporting facts. Those types make me sick.

BTW, don't expect civility from me unless you earn it. You haven't even come close. There's many conservatives here who I will discuss issues with, without using lame flames. But I don't plan on bring a knife to a gun fight.

We shrug it off too lightly. Saying that a side is "evil" doesn't mean they are wrong, or misguided, or misinformed, they are evil and evil must be, should be destroyed.

The divide in the nation is growing. It's getting deeper and wider. That's what we should pay attention to. The left is almost rabid in its hate. At some point it is going to have to go beyond calling the right evil and do something about ridding the land of such evil.
