Radical Republicans stymie progress on all fronts.
From healthcare reform to the the war in Afghanistan, the Republicans, the Party of No, are opposing every effort to get our country back on track. Years and years of lies and deceit from their talk radio mouthpieces have mired them in a quicksand of inaction.

Now they are fighting every idea to solve the problems which they have mostly created. They seem to be content to sink us deeper and deeper into the hole until there is no escape. It is a dangerous course to follow these people. They seem to have no idea of the damage they are doing. They are destroying our country. No one can save them except themselves. Unfortunately, their ignorance will kill us all. It almost did in the last eight years.

1. I blame about 14 democratic Senators and an inept Presidential Administration
But hey knock yourself out blaming the people who have absolutely no political power what so ever right now.

2. It's stretching it to call them "Democratic" Senators...

They are closer to Republicans. And who voted them into office? Somebody has to eventually pay the price at the polls. We cannot continue to say, "but at least, they are better than the Republican running". No, they are worse.

3. I agree that there are some aspects of being a "crossover" and of "bipartisanship" that have been a
dirty little secret for a long time.

If people wanted the political parties to be the same, there would be no political parties.
