    So now the GOP is the Tea Party? You are certainly all over the place, I'll give you that. The establishment GOP is certainly struggling with the Tea Party GOP members and one of the areas of disagreement is how much compromise should there be with the Dems over continuing to grow our government. This is one of the many discussions and disagreements currently going on within the GOP. First you say those in the GOP are mindless cultists and then you acknowledge Tea Party persons advocate a position contrary to what the party wants. You can't have it both ways.

    When I say new age Republican's, I'm talking about the Tea Party. And it's becoming evident that they are attacking all the members in their own party who do not abide by the laws of their Religion. It's pretty obvious that the Tea Party infiltration of the Republican party is a group of ideologues who will not compromise under any circumstance with anyone who has a differing viewpoint from them. That's exactly what we didn't want with our Government. I'm an old school Republican fan... the Reagan type. Not these sick and twisted cultist conservatives.

    Not their own religion, but those that aren't agreeing with them. They are very firm in their beliefs as what they want this country to do.You guys are making way to much of religion in the Republican and Tea Party.

    I'm referring to them as a Religion. As in they have turned the Republican party in to an actual religion based on faith and beliefs.

    So now it's the Tea Party in your mind that are cultists. You started by saying it was GOPs who are cultisits. You can't keep your story straight:

    "The Republican's have turned themselves in to a religion. They are no longer Christians. They are whatever their masters tell them."


    Many within the Tea Party hate the GOP, vote libertarian or Constitutional Party. Those within the Tea Party are quite diverse, some being conservative Christians and others extreme libertarians. Their point of agreement appears to be they all want less government. Hardly the mark of a cult, no matter how you'd like to disparage them and spin it otherwise. I would like to see them compromise and vote for the only viable candidate to oppose the massive government, big deficit Obama. Some will and some won't because they are individuals all with their own ideas. Some put ideology before practicality and others don't.

    Right wingers have zero political or personal principles, so it's no surprise they'd hold their noses and pull a lever for Romney.

    I disagree with that. Republicans have gotten very hard in their beliefs and unlike years ago, many don't want to compromise. But there aren't that many that are hard line Christians. There are many that believe, but don't really practice their faith. Many are like the Christians in the Democratic Party. You have that fringe element in almost everything.

    So the principled thing would be to not vote or vote 3rd party and help Obama achieve a 2nd term? Do you have any clue how stupid your statement sounds?

    My story is straight, you are just trying to spin things. I said the new age Republican's, which are the Tea Party are disastrous. Pretty simple, maybe it's just your ability to comprehend the written language. Doesn't surprise me you are a Tea Party member. They love people like you!!

    I think you are seeing these hard line Christians and comparing the Republican Party to be just like them. Trouble is, many Liberals have lumped all the Right Wing Christians into one pot and they aren't alike. Neither are Republicans.

    So you praise the Dem party for being free-thinking and condemn the GOPs for having a faction that wants smaller government. That is asinine. You want some radical fringe groups you should look to some of the insane leftist factions within the Dem party. And no I'm not a Tea Party member, although I appreciate their call for smaller government.

    Your right. The Tea Party's main goal is to make government smaller. To try living within their means like families have to do. For some reason, Liberals have twisted their meaning all out of proportion.

    The Government isn't a family or a household. They are not even remotely similar in any way, shape, or form. It's these exact theories that are destroying the country.

    I don't praise any party. I vote for Democrat's because they have evolved outside of the 1800s and the current GOP, taken over by the Tea Party, has become a group of fascists living out their Wild West dreams. It's never good when a group of uneducated people lead by the likes of Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, Rush Limbaugh, etc are demanding that politicians act a certain way because they think they know what is best for America. I can't believe the Republican party has allowed these uneducated hooligans to take control.

    Yes, they twist their position of less government because they want that goal to fail. Therefore they attempt to demonize them by applying terms like cult, hoping no on will notice that they can't back their slander with truth.

    "There is no free thinking allowed in the Republican party. They are slowly picking off anyone who doesn't agree with 100% of their ideologies. It's a cult, you guys are disastrous human beings. The democrat's are all over the place because we are allowed to think for ourselves."

    Just like I said, you praise the Dems for their "free thinking." And when a Dem compromises with the GOP, such as Lieberman, he is soundly condemned by the leftists in the party to get back in line. That is the way politics works on both sides of the aisle.

    Their wild West dreams is to try and make the government live within their means and not saddle our children and grandchildren with so much debt they'll never pay it off. What is wrong with that? The country is broke and Liberals keep wanting the government to keep paying for more and more (freebies) which isn't really free. This is suppose to be mordern thinking?

    No one is advocating for more freebies. Get that nonsense out of your head. We are advocating for technology, innovation, education, science, infrastructure, jobs, environment, etc. The Govt plays a pivotal role in how our monetary system works. It's not as simple as you are making it out to be. Having the Govt "live" within their means does not mean what you think it does. The Govt isn't a person or a household, or anything of that nature. Their budget is not like your budget.

    Not only can't we pay for what we already have, but now Liberals want to help pay down millions of college loans. Pay down mortgages people took out and can no longer pay for. Wants to pay for male and female contraceptives. Etc.,Etc.
    Now I'm not saying all those things aren't nice, but there isn't any money to pay for them. Even if we taxed the rich more, it wouldn't be nearly enough to pay off what we already owe. So clue us in on how much smarter the Left is and explain how you plan to pay for all of this?

    What do you mean there isn't any money to pay for them? How does a country that has a made up currency run out of it? Do a little practice exercise. Whenever you use the word Govt, replace it with the word "country". Maybe it will make more sense.

    Sure you are. When you say you want to help pay down student loans, that's a freebee. So is helping pay down mortgages. Well if your for better schools, why do you force all these kids to go to a public school when many can't learn there and are better suited for private schools. That's because of the teacher's union and nothing else. If your wanting more jobs, why make it so difficult to start up a business? Why saddle them with countless regulations? Why do you want to tax business more when America is already paying the highest business tax in the whole industrial world? Of course now Obama says he wants to cut business taxes after he said he wanted to raise them.

    You want to help the inviroment? Why did Obama cut all the funding Bush set aside for hydrogen when most other countries see that as the fuel of the future. Germany and Japan both are building 1,000 refueling stations for hydrogen. We have none on the drawing boards and ony a few scattered around. Japanese and Germany plan to start production in 2015 of hydrogen cars. American manufactures say they will be ready to but won't because we don't have refueling stations. You want to cut pollution, relying on foreign oil, clean up the air? Then why cut hydrogen funding when the rest of the world is going in that direction?

    Sure there is a lot of things the Democrats want to do, but they don't have the slightest idea of how to do it. They do just the opposite of what needs to be done. That is your modern thinking.

    This is clearly a subjective very partisan opinion.
