Sick and tired of both parties--Dems/Repubs acting like 3 yr old's fighting over toys

[oreo]

The Federal Government today is so non-functional it's actually nauseating. For the last 6 years democrats refuse to work with republicans, republicans refuse to work with democrats. We have the far left trying to control the majority and the far right trying to control the majority--and NO ONE is left representing the middle--which are the overwhelming majority of this nation.

Immigration is a perfect example: There was a bi-partisan immigration bill sitting in congress that house Republican John Boehner refused to put on the floor for a vote. Democrat senate majority leader Harry Reid has stashed Republican bills in his lower file cabinet during the last 4 years refusing those to come to a vote on the senate floor. Obama ropes a dopes a Republicans again by signing an executive order on immigration, egging on Republicans--then we have Ted Cruz (doing the expected) getting on the microphone to announce--(If I were Mitch McConnell) I would tell Obama we're not going to allow any vote on any appointment he makes, if he does this.

Now the majority of this nation, including Republicans want a comprehensive immigration bill--but the far right--the minut minority of the Republican party wants to send them all back to nothing. The far left wants to make all illegals--legal and are right now applauding Obama's action. Again no one representing the middle ground.

Where does all this division come from? Rush Limbaugh--Fox News--and MSNBC and left wing talk radio who's sole purpose is to rile up and send the far left and far right into hysterical frenzies, with half truths and distortions. Who's listening to these extreme people. Obviously Democrats and Republicans.

What did the Senate and House do. The Democrats elected Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to now be the minority leaders, and Republicans are stuck with Mitch McConnell for the senate--and of course John Boehner. And we wonder why nothing ever changes. We wonder why Democrats can no longer work with Republicans and visa versa. And they wonder why congress's approval ratings are so low.

You need to include a "none of the above" selection if you are actually sick and tired of the crap.

Or maybe add ... "Get to work in Congress doing your job and pass a budget (required by law) then work on reducing our deficit instead of playing political games with immigration".

Billy needed parents and a good spanking, but that would require grow-ups and the US lacks them, obviously.

In case YOU don't understand we do have an aging population in the United States called babyboomers--who are entering social security/medicare at 10,000 on a daily basis and this rate will continue for the next 14 years. Adding an additional 83 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities, on top of the 18 trillion in debt we're currently at.

Back in the 1950's families consisted of 4 or more kids, over the last several decades it's been 2 or less. There aren't enough LEGAL youth in this country to sustain these programs. And that's why IMMIGRATION is so important to the BUDGET you're talking about!

Our "leaders" (cough) continue to fail us, and the partisans refuse to hold their "side" accountable.

Vicious cycle.

Really .... there is nothing new under the sun, since there has been such a thing as partisan politics in AMERICA, it has been the same crap, different year.... Look at the historical political cartoons published during the Johnson administration, ( no, not Lyndon ) Andrew Johnson, its been going on for at least that long! WE THE PEOPLE need to make a statement and I most strongly recommend VOTING and indeed voting for the NOT a Democrat & NOT a Republican, thereby making a statement that WE THE PEOPLE are MAD AS HELL and not going to take it anymore!

I have no idea how old you are, but I was an adult through Ronald Reagan and on up, whom had to work with hostile democrat congress's and they managed to get things done--without all of this media hypervention.

I understand completely ... You would rather talk about immigration and support half measures by the President ... Than Congress doing their job and fixing the mess Progressive Liberals made with unfounded liabilities. If they spent more time doing their job than chasing rainbows ... We wouldn't be in the mess you described.

Thanks for making my point even better.

Republicans will continue to do what they've been doing because it works for them. They do nothing but gerrymander and obstruct and lie about Obama - and it works. They don't have to actually work, don't have to do their job, they show up a scant 126 days a year, pose for photo ops and go play golf. In return, dummies watch fox and alex jones and vote a straight Repub ticket even though its harmful to them and their families and even though, because of the extensive gerrymandering, they could just stay home.

The Republican party has a winning strategy. Why change what works?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

As to the poll, what they SHOULD do is what they should have done several years ago - their job. That's the first choice.

What they will actually do however, are the other three choices because they are, after all, Repubs and Repubs do not legislate, govern or do anything over and above drinking, golfing, vacationing and those interminable photo ops.

yea i would like to see you spank the kid....off to the corn field for you.....

And the irony impaired far left checks with their propaganda not based in reality

Funny how things change for the far left as if they forget the years 2000 - 2009..

Yeah...the rest of the world runs so smoothly.

Yep! All we need to do is get the far left to grow up instead of growing old, the world would be a much better place.

Our immigration laws don't need to be "reformed." They just need to be enforced. "Immigration reform" is just a euphemism for "amnesty."

 

[whitehall]

The latest leftie whine...."sick of both parties". First of all it's insulting to hear the future of the Republic characterized by the low information left as "toys". For the record, the democrats refused to cooperate with the republican majority in congress, not the other way around. Harry covered for Barry in his legislative roach motel. Bills check in but they don't check out. All Barry had on his plate was the occasional golf game and a couple of easy political cover-ups. Now Barry has to work for a living and defend his administration against charges that "Obama makes Nixon look like a statesman".

Kids are funny that way. It's what he was asking for and therefore he might have accepted it but no one was grownup enough to put the little bugger over their knee. If Americans were grownups they wouldn't accept all the crap that they do.
