From where I sit the Republican party isn't pro anything. The party of no hasn't done one damned postive thing for our society since Richard Nixon created the EPA and lowered the voting age to 18. How many decades ago was that? 4? Name one piece of major social legislation that their party has created since. Don't think too hard , the answer is -nada. Cut taxes on the rich, wait for it to trickle down. Cut more taxes on the rich, wait even longer for it to trickle down. Tick tock , tick tock, tick tock!

Why are we not talking about the impact this "party of no" is having on the US competitiveness. Even in a world wide depression, we are at the bottom for creating new jobs and tech. The world doesn't care about our internal problems, especially if we are too stupid to figure it our and correct it ourselves! The world looks at our proposed leaders from the right and they are "scared" at the nut jobs that want to have their turn to "go to war" as the solution to our problems. I hope we are now at the point of "subering" up, you know like when you drink too much (although at the time it did not seem to be nearly enough) and wake up next to a partner who is so repulsive you wanted to chew your am off so you could escape at least partially intact?

When you pigeon-hole an entire poltical party and call them stupid, you don't make things better but worse and end up doing the exact opposite of what you set out to do. The best way to renforce someones view is to tell them their wrong or stupid. It doesn't matter if your right either.

I could agree with you a lot more if I hadn't watch the Republican "clown acts" that pass for "debates" (booing one of our soldiers in a war zone to protect our skinny asses is but the most egregious of the "acts", so proof is "out there" if you will but open your eyes and ears to what is said and done to "win" our votes and people boo??

DanCastro:
The essence of my point eludes you, so I'll elaborate.
First, those are people booing, they call themselves Reps. Those reps are not every rep, so they don't speak for every rep. When you go past the titles there are idiots in all walks of life.
Clarification, I'm not a rep and have nothing whatsoever to gain from defending them, and I'm not defending them in fact, or myself for that matter.
Secondly, please don't talk condescendingly towards me with "if you will but open your eyes" Ole Wise One. Lest you (ironically) do the exact opposite of what you want to do.
Ultimately people will do what they want you might say. True dat DC, but if your goal is to heal the divide, then your better off refraining from name calling and all manner of polarizing language. If you want war and/or have an unconscious need to stimulate your pre-frontal cortex, then you will have it, for those soldiers you speak of are run mostly by the GOP at this point, and the GOP likes conflict, it is what they feed off of.
Thirdly, which is more reiteration and clarification. I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about psych, which in this case is tied into politics. Do you understand?

Thank you for the return condescension, I may well deserve it. So you say "no one speaks for everyone" (duh, hadn't thought of that one! ;-). If we were all peaceful and milk toast, then maybe we would "merit" change? Are you serious? We live in a world where some have forgotten that this is OUR country, as a united people. It belongs to ALL of US and not any group. My personal goal is to get discussion going because I have faith in the wisdom and ingenuity of the American people. We can get it right if we can focus on the goal (national prosperity for all) instead of who is right or wrong in a particular situation). I do not believe that anywhere in our history their has been a time when change has not required "civil disobedience" to get the attention of the people to the issue. I believe this "Arab Spring" for the US will follow a similar path. A nation divided cannot long stand and I've done my time to protect this country, so I have a very personal investment in seeing the nation prosper! ;-)

So what is your point? Isn't that by definition a lower number being "lesser" and therefore more preferable?
If we could get people to stop treating each other so horribly entirely that would be a whole lot better, but until then the damage of "greater evil" is much worse and until that is eliminated then the other "lesser evil" would be easier to curtail so that all evil could be gotten rid of completely.

I've seen his videos on YouTube before and he always does a good job of picking the clips to support his points and editing his presentations so they flow well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZYbAhCdmZs
Another one of his videos shows the hypocrisy of the "Pro-Life" stance since it's only when they are in the womb, once people are out of the womb it's "Pro-Death" for them. O' Reilly is against a doctor who does abrotions and actively wishes for his death calling him "a baby killer" then refuses to take any responsibilty for his comments after the doctor is killed in a blantant display of hypocracy.
That's why the Grim Reaper would be such an appropriate running mate for the since they use fear in all their campaign strategies and the ultimate fear is of the consequence that woud happen to any one that voted against the Angel of Death.

They're pro-life as long as that life is in some other woman's womb. Then once it comes out, they don't want any of their taxes going to nurture that life! They couldn't care less about it.
I love the Teabaggers too who say there is no conflict with being pro-death penalty while being anti-abortion by saying that a baby's life is innocent whereas a criminal's life is not. I guess they never heard of the concept of Original Sin. According to the Bible that they profess to believe in, there are no true innocents.

I agree. They want to put women back in the kitchen (and the bedroom) "where we belong." The anti-choicers couldn't give two hoots about the living, breathing human babies and mothers (and fathers in some cases) who are doomed to a life of agony, with zero chance to live happy and productive lives.
I don't think that abortion should EVER be pushed onto anyone else; but when other people decide what goes on in my uterus, they've crossed the line.
These anti-choicers have no respect for true humanity - one misstep and they say: "hang 'em high." Pure cognitive dissonance. - 8 months ago

Love liberalviewer. Repubs are just pro-death cause they can make money off of death (war in Iraq?) To answer liberal viewers questions:
It's hypocritical for christians obviously. I think for tea party, it's a way to save money. Kill the guy and thusly you don't have to feed, house, and clothe him. Save on medical expenses. Eeecckk.
I don't think anybody would want to be pro-death unless they really like money. So out of the mainstream. - 8 months ago

They are pro execution because if you kill someone you dont have to pay for years of incarceration and or a new trial that might find them innocent.
Here are some statistics from Georgia:
When the race of the defendant is added to the analysis, the following pattern appears: 22% of black defendants who kill white victims are sentenced to death; 8% of white defendants who kill white victims are sentenced to death; 1% of black defendants who kill black victims are sentenced to death; and 3% of white defendants who kill black victims are sentenced to death. - 8 months ago
