And your comments amount to what ? Zero , you say nothing , you never do , hell , you can't pick a name .
Bottom line to article , Obama has made a train wreck out of America , our economy , our standing in the world , our debt and deficits and our outlook for the future .

The fool, david of ID, says:
"Progressive liberal machinery tactics at work on the national stage. Pick a target, minimize the mark and then relentlessly assassinate the character through lies, defamation, fabrication, and intimidation."
...and your post amounts to what?
"The M.O. of Progressive Liberal Radicals is to throw logic and reasoning out the window and use cheap personal attacks, fallacies, and illogical arguments to dominate the discusion and impose their will on others."
Project much? You're the one here who's making it personal.
"If we don't follow the premise Bannon's diatribe, then you are categorized as racist, ignorant, a closed-minded fool, plain crazy, or member of the teaparty.
Case in point . . read ED of CA comments below. I rest my case."
I rest my case.

brad,you;ve done a great job of getting to the nub of what the tea party is all about, and the damage that they;ve done to the g.o.p.no wonder their popularity among sane thinking people is eroding.

She's a critic of federal spending...as long as the money is given to her! Michele and her husband received between $5,000 and $15,000 in income last year from a family farm that has received $250,000 in federal subsidies and that's according to her most recent House financial disclosure form. The farm is valued at $1 million in 2010. Do the ignorant teabaggers know this?

Excellent article! And per the "American" who speaks about poor people who never read, clearly neither does he/she/it! It's not "scarry" - it's "scary!" And the right is a friggin' lunatic nightmare. Frankly, the only way it seems that these idiots who vote for these bastards are going to see this, is to let them win, then pay the consequences.

Vote after looking into issues on both sides,then read and validate the info you hear and read. You will be completely shocked that your following a party thats screwing you and all you love .. Yes , government is corrupt on both sides . The media on the other hand is extremely corrupt on specifically one side. Shockingly misled article.
