The GOP took a centrist like I and drove me to a straight Democratic ticket. I have heard very little concern about lies and the influences of the JBS and worse in the GOP from any member. The blatant denial and arrogant attitudes of them and the lackeys called the Tea Party is mind numbing. The left is not perfect and they have their share of loons, but at this point they are not trying to beat me to death with stupidity and religious intolerance.

I see where you're coming from, but I decided to chuck both the GOP and the Dems for the lunacy that's present in their parties.

I agree with your point. I would say it sad to see what choices we have at the polls at times.
I often do not have a horse in the race. I usually vote the man/woman and not along party lines. I can just choose to stand along the sidelines, or just ignore the whole kit and kaboodle, but this is just an insult to my intelligence and sanity. The GOP and Tea Party are attempting to completely rewrite history and impose a system on the people of the USA that would be a step closer to a Theocracy, all the while wrapped in an American Flag and quoting the Constitution.
No.

I agree. As much as I disagree with the liberals regarding their policies on spending and big government, the plan offered by the GOP is horrendous and would irreparably damage our country. We cannot let them win.
