Government is not the problem.
Republicans are the problem.

2. Corporate controlled politicians are the problem
in both parties.

It just so happens that the Republicans are 100% controlled by corporations. The percentage is high, but not that high in the Democratic party.

5. Republicans aren't the problem
republicans in charge of government are the problem. Sitting at home on the couch, they rarely present a problem.

If we just kept all of them out of government, there would be far fewer problems.

problem.

7. Only when they win
There generally is a loser in most every race. The problem is that it is not always the Republican. Some of the people will consistently vote for stupid ideas, the problem only arises when they win.

9. Somewhere in a rightwing blog
they are saying the exact same thing but instead of republicans, they are using democrats. Remember, republicans like govt (read war on drug, war on our mind, abortion, big military, farm subsidies etc etc) but it is big govt that they have a problem with.

Know thy enemy.

13. wrong
politicians with republican ideas are the problem. And sometimes those politicans have a D after their names. If i remember corectly, a D repealed Glass-Steagall which was the catalyst for the housing/finacial crash

14. Close, but
I'd say crooked assholes are the problem. While R's are 100% crooked asshole, you can't deny there's a crooked asshole component to the D side as well. Sadly progressives with integrity are marginalized by the media and establishment, and obviously aren't getting the multi-million dollar funding from the corporations and PACs and Saudi Arabia and such... Nobody has ever said (well nobody with any damn sense has said) that the Greens are the problem... I say unless you're voting for a Kucinich or a Grayson, voting Green party is your only way to go ( to avoid crooked assholes.)
