The bad thing is that the Republican leadership seems to embrace their lies. I expect more from the supposedly "good guys" but haven't seen anything.
I still don't believe that there is a whit of difference between a D and an R. They both work for the same master. That master isn't We The People... Unions and big business own this country. It's all about the coin.
The two party system ... is a triumph of the dialectic. It showed that two could be one and one could be two and had probably been fabricated by Hegel for the American market on a subcontract from General Dynamics.

Stone was as Red as a baboon's ass but this one time in his life, he spoke truth, and for that I can forgive him much.
Anon... Excellent! Thank you! ;)
This Gang of 3 has been able to bully their way through any moral crisis because of their arrogance. Why deny a lie when you can claim that any charge against them is based on "conservative hate, racism, or ignorance". It doesn't help that now that the Repubs have both houses, they still buckle to them. Boehner's useless and McConnell is appearing to have lost his back bone since the last election.
It doesn't help, either, that they have so many supporters willing to eat the shit they spew...
It's sad that we keep electing those who betray us, betray our culture, belittle our exceptionalism. When will we learn - what will it take? I fear for my grandchildren.
Yes, it is sad. It says quite a lot about our fellow citizens... Some of them are pretty stupid. I fear for my grandchildren, too...
