Beretta92FSLady, you may not want to go acting like every individual who chooses to affiliate themselves with the Republican party is a rotten egg. I know plenty of people who are working their butt off in that party to try to get it back on track and trying to hold their elected reps accountable. Their hard work has earned some respect from me. Maybe you work just as hard to advocate whatever it is you deem important, but might I make a suggestion that if individualism is high on your list you may want to consider not being so quick to make such general statements.
I don't see any logical reason to start bashing parties.
A little presumptuousness on your part? Not every Republican or those who choose to affiliate themselves with Republicans are rotten eggs. I don't recall every writing a statement like that.
Get us back on track to what, and from where, exactly? We have always been bound and determined to hold our representatives "accountable." Accountable for what, I am not always sure. Take so-called government control of healthcare--actually, it is not government controlled or ran, private insurance companies are still behind the wheel. Preident Obama pulling out of Iraq, do we need to get back on track to 150k+ troops in that god-forsaken country? Wait, you might be talking about the tax cuts that Obama just signed back into law? Again, what do we need to get back on track to, and what have we jumped track from?
Individualism is important, but there should be a line drawn at some point. America is too individualistic, IMO.
I do see a logical reason to "bash" a party. I have deemed the policies of one party to be worse than the policies of another. I do not agree with the policies of a particular party, so I engage in what some would call bashing, but what I would call criticism.
Back to the OT: The link was packed with a bunch of items that are not explained what they are, why they are in the budget, and what will happen if they are removed. Once again, just a bunch of generalized political BS.
