    From the story:

    The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.

    When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges.

    . . . While the Democrats may have moved from their 40-yard line to their 25, the Republicans have gone from their 40 to somewhere behind their goal post.

    Most Americans are middle to right tilting though, and the prblem within republican ranks is that the Rhinos are the establishment, those who are democrats in republican clothing!

    democratic party on the whole is far left, antichrist in policies, so IF american were given a clear choice between 2 parties, majority still would see things republican way!

    problem is mainstream republicans afraid/unwilling to stand on conservative values ...

    Right...

    Everyone knows that the mainstream supported Obamacare. :rolleyes:

    And the mainstream supports gay marriage. :rolleyes:

    And the mainstream supports a trillion dollars in new debt every year. :rolleyes:

    And the mainstream supports forcing churches to pay for contraception. :rolleyes:

    So exactly how are the Democrats in the mainstream?

    Obviously written by a non-republican.

    The Washington Post [or for that matter the NY Times] writing an objective piece about the Republican Party is as unreal as the belief that Obama "walks on water".

    The democrat party is the home of Marxism in this country. This trend started under that notorious pair, Eleanor and Franklin. As the Communist Party became anathema to patriotic Americans the CP simply moved into and took control of the democrat party.

    Obama's mentor as a teenager was a communist. His associates in Chicago were the Marxist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. His activity as a community organizer were based on the tactics of the radical leftist rabble rouser Saul Alinsky. Everything Obama has attempted as president has been to increase the socialization of America and that is a fact!

    I believe that at one time the unions played an essential role in the increase of the middle income in this country. The work of the United Mine Workers in improving the life of coal miners is legendary for those who were there.

    Sadly as the financial well being of the middle income union members improve they ceded control of the unions to thugs and communists such as Hoffa of the Teamsters, Walter Reuther of the CIO, Harry Bridges of the Longshore Union [ILWU] and eventually Richard Trumka of the UMW. At present the leadership of the AFL-CIO is the rascal leftist Richard Trumka.

    The real problem is sin and the support of sin. We've all done it, the Bible says so. Everything wrong with this and all other nations leads up to this truth, and because of that, blaming solely the republicans for the problem comes out quite silly in the final analyses, because we've all been guilty of adding to the problem, no matter what political party we're apart of. Thankfully, there is a solution, which is Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of the only living God, and though his mercy power, and grace, we may solve this nations problems, or at least be given another chance in another nation.

    Okay, okay, but not all Marxists and Socialists are Jews. The Progressive (Socialist) Caucus is made up of other ethnicities.....And not all Jews are Socialists.

    George Soros, the big money backer behind the ruination of our country, and obama's chief backer (both directly and indirectly) is a Jew. But obama is still a muslim according to islam.

    "Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is the junior United States Senator from Vermont.....He is the first person elected to the U.S. Senate to identify as a socialist. Sanders caucuses with the Democratic Party and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments...... the son of Jewish Polish immigrants to the United States, was born in Brooklyn, New York...Sanders is a co-founder of the House Progressive Caucus and chaired the grouping of mostly liberal Democrats for its first eight years....."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

    "....Obama campaigning for openly socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Interestingly, Sanders, who won his seat in 2006, called Obama ‘one of the great leaders of the United States Senate,’ even though Obama had only been in the body for about two years....."

    Could not find info on the 112th Congress, but most of these people are still there anyway.

    From the Internet:

    There, so if you see your member of Congress on this list, this was put out by the Democrat Socialists of America.

    As I noted, there are all races and ethnicities on this list. Some are of Jewish descent, but there are Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and others.

    So, back to the OP. Republicans are the problem? I think not.

    I am going to repeat part of an earlier post!

    That's good. I'm a big fan of Mr. Sanders.

    What do you think about non-socialist Jews? My only Jewish friend is liberal, but he's not a socialist. I've tried to get him to become one, but he just wants to make small changes to the capitalist system.

    I love my only Jewish friend in a non-gay way. He's a very talented guitarist and singer and he even studied classical guitar in college. He's highly intelligent and he was in his middle school gifted class, just like me. There's never a shortage of interesting conversations that can be had with him. He also is good with mechanical stuff. A while back, he replaced all the brake pads and the rotors on my car for a low price. He used to work as a car mechanic before he became a professional musician.

    I think you may have missed the point of my last post; it was a Jewish socialist, Bernie Sanders, who co-founded this 'Progressive Caucus' and guided them for their first eight years. This is typical 'Jewish activism' [read coherence and cooperation among Jews] that really is their claim to fame and the reason for the incredible influence they weld in the affairs within a myriad of fields. Jews are by far and away the international elite of our times. Period. They are wealthy, educated, powerful, and exert great influence in nearly every aspect of the emerging 'new world order'. Like it or not, that's the way it is.

    That doesn't surprise me! Actually as far as I know he could be a really good person. I just don't agree with his politics. I don't agree with your's.

    Honestly, I don't hate Jews. I have great respect for their cohesiveness and teamwork. In my 'former life' I had very close working relations with many, literally many, of them. Everyone of them was above me, it wasn't hard to work with them, and they rewarded and promoted me along the way. But I watched them. I was born at night but it wasn't last night. I witnessed first hand how they work as a unit to further and succeed at their goals, absolutely no different than the Masons that I've also had much experience with. I watched them with my own eyes take total control of an entire government bureau. And reading between the lines (and the Jewish names), I know they've done exactly the same with other government agencies as well.

    You ask if it's a conspiracy, I don't think so. It's some sort of 'ethnocentric characteristic' within them that has eventually resulted with their dominance, as I said earlier, within a myriad of fields.

    No surprise.

    I love them. I love Israel. Jesus is a Jew.

    Please start another thread if you want to discuss this topic in depth or the International Banker conspiracy theory. Thanks, LE.

    Everyone with Jewish DNA is A OK, eh? Is that what it's all about with you? DNA? Then you do have a problem with Jews.

    I think we should judge people based on their character, not their DNA. So, on this, I agree with you and not LE.
