(11,031 posts)committed by Republicans and Tea Partiers. I have not seen Democrats pull such stupid moves and if I did I would be really irritated to say the least. Democratic bonehead moves tend to occur on an individualized basis as one Democrat does something stupid like Anthony Weiner. Republicans and Tea Partiers have more of a pack mentality of destruction.
The problem goes well beyond the 47 letter and Netanyahu's speech to the Congress. The Republicans and Tea Partiers continue to flaunt their total disregard of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Civil Liberties, Voters Rights, Women's Rights, and so on and so on. This has been going of for far too long and the Democrats just sit back and go Tsk Tsk, shaking their heads as the children misbehave.
I see this all the time in Oklahoma state politics and the OK State Legislature. This state is so doomed as there is no issue unconstitutional enough or too stupid for them to pass a law and then have the State AG defend the lunacy in court (at tax payer expense of course). And this is just one state. We see what is going on within a whole lot of other states. And we see what is going on within Congress.
We have long passed any chance of the Democratic Party being able to turn things around because the inmates have controlled the asylum far too long. It is not a matter of if but when the children manage to sink this country. And historically, success, control and power shifts from one entity to another every so many years. Our time has passed and we are on the inevitable downward trend.
