Republican Party of Texas STILL "batshit crazy"

Let's see from the very minute Obama was first inaugurated, Republicans refused to cooperate with him and his Administration( one even said that he wanted to make Obama a one term president!)- Democrats may have disliked Bush but NEVER refused to work with his Administration- and having failed to prevent his reelection, they are just continuing a "dog in the manger" attitude (see Boehner's lawsuit and threats of impeachment from Sarah Palin), but somehow EVERYTHING is Obama's fault???!!!

Thanks, Obama! Everything-Er-wait- EVERYTHING is your fault. We all hate you and think you should go back to where you came from... Osama! You dirty little terrorist you! Sandrat! Cave dweller!

Because I'm an @$$hole, that's why.

@paracelsus: I'll agree with you that the republicans have been jerks to Obama, but the democrats had complete control of government for his first two years he was in office. His problems with passing bills during those two years weren't the republicans fault. Yes, he inherited a bad economy and two wars. But he hasn't fixed the economy, and the efforts we put forth in Iraq and Afghanistan are being wasted now as ISIS takes over Iraq.

As far as impeachment and other crazy ideas (such as leaving the union), the right feels like they have been abused by their government and no one is going to be held responsible for it. The IRS, and the mainstream media have it out for the right. Eric Holder isn't going to investigate anything that would make the president look bad, and republicans know it. They've been driven into a corner and they're fighting back the only way they can. This isn't how you treat people, no matter their political affiliation. The left has completely disregarded the right since the day Obama took office; that's half the nation. They've demonized people, mocked the right relentlessly, and ignored any problem that the republicans might want addressed. That isn't how you treat people! Now we see that the IRS was involved in targeting the right. Now we see that ISIS is a much bigger threat than the White House wanted to admit. Now we see that the administration lied about Benghazi, and the deaths of four Americans, and the administration is stonewalling everything, and only the right is calling them out on it.

Obama's biggest problem isn't that he's some super far left commie who wants to ruin the nation. He isn't. His problem is that he looks down his nose at people he disagrees with. He'll insult the right and blame everything on them, while asking the House for money at the same time. That isn't how you build bridges and unify people. How many fictional characters do we admire on this site who go out of their way to help an enemy, even after they've defeated them? Even after that villain has done terrible things to them? In politics it's called "giving an olive branch" to the other side. You have to come to a compromise. The president had the chance to be the bigger man by coming to the center and really trying to get along, like Bill Clinton did. But I don't remember Obama ever compromising on anything.

@spitfirepanda:

I think we can all agree both sides have royallly messed things up.

@lunacyde: Yeah, they have. Both parties are just power hungry, arrogant cowards who won't make a hard decision unless there is a way they can blame it on the other side. The leaders of both parties treat each other (and their rivals voters) like complete garbage, when they should be coming to the center and fixing problems. Instead, they just make problems. These are the people in charge of our government, and this is why I want their power to be drastically limited.

So much truth. Oh well I guess that is politics...
