Who voted for the idiots in office?

It`s the leadership that`s chosen a race to the bottom,using every race baiting, fear mongering lie and trick to win elections.It comes right from the top down.

If if one would like to disassociate themselves by declaring not to be down with the birthers, Islamaphobes(rich) or the fundies,let them.

I think it`s fair to say that if one doesn`t call out the whackos,they are giving tacit approval.

I don't know. I think there's good and bad in both conservatives and liberals. I was bothered more by conservatives back when Reagan was president. They were much more insufferable back then, but now, not so much.

I personally think the whole conservative/liberal thing feeds into exactly what they want..the bickering which gets nothing done..which in turn means they have someone to point a finger to when they can't get anything done and "we" buy into it. Meanwhile they live it up and get rich from their positions all the while, "watching the walls crumble around them".

It's hard enough getting something through to begin with when you have opposite views on what needs to be changed and how we should go about doing it..A constant tug-o-war goes on...sometimes I think..A dictator styled elected official might be a better way to go but then I remind myself what they do with the limited amount of power they have now..I hold back the throw-up and wash it from my mind quickly.

I'm somewhere in the middle when it comes to political views. Liberal on some and conservative on others and have never understood why someone would be a staunch one way or another. It reminds me of the high school club type mentalities that I've observed growing up.

All in all I've read what he's said from that story and I just don't get threat or anything like that out of it..As always I think reporters will make things out to be greater than what they are for the sensationalism of it all.
