Originally posted by Parallax Mine haven't either. Unfortunately the views of the Republican party (whatever they are now; I'm still not clear on that anymore.) have changed since then.
You do realize, of course, that the same party that is trying to sell the same crap they screwed up the country with *wants* anger and confusion, and that if you elect them, they'll be just as heedless of what you thought they were voting for as the *last* time?
The gripe with the Dems is that they *haven't stood up like we all put them on notice to,* not that suddenly the GOP stopping anything too productive happening and screaming till people think there's a controversy will make the same policies they wanted all along work any better the next time...
The GOP started off screaming, 'Obama wants to do too much!' spent the rest of their efforts blocking everything, and now wants to say, 'See! We killed hope and change! Now you want more of what we pissed you off for in the first place! But with hats! '
Yah, right.
Time to stop treating the future of our nation like Canon v Nikon.
Really.
If the process is confused, let's start figuring out what we *want,* not which meaningless ideoogical drivel to take sides over.
