They're all corrupt....

---

And you know this how?

---

....because I said so.

---

How would you feel if someone slandered you or a loved one and when you asked for proof, "because I said so" was all you got from the accuser?

---

Life's not fair. Then you die!

---

And that's a justification for your slander?

---

Yeah, and you're going to do....what? Shoot me? It's a free country so far. I can say what I want and not spend one minute wondering what some little Justin Beiber "wanna be" will do about it.

What about my question?

What did you do with it? I don't have it.

Olivia: Life's not fair. Then you die!

Cedric: And that's a justification for your slander?

Olivia: Yeah, and you're going to do....what? It's a free country so far. I can say what I want....

Cedric: Not really.

There are laws prohibiting libel and slander.

Fortunately for you, however, there are no laws against old-age or bitterness......so far.

Doesn't that go against the logic that the GOP ideas are popular, just not the members? To me it makes the voters polled look like idiots and its not even a fair or valid reflection on the GOP.

---

It makes perfect sense. For almost a decade, the GOP has been saying they are going to do this and that and then never follow through with their popular ideas. Obamacare is just the latest example where all the membership was put in power in '10 specifically saying they were going to do everything in their control to stop it and then gave up. Three GOP Gov's who specifically ran on an anti Obamacare platform have just decided to take the Medicare bribe to get the thing started in their state.

We are also constantly told that if we don't vote for the Repub POTUS candidates, we will get lousy SC Justices that will rule against the Constitution and stick us with Marxist laws. Guess who gave us Roberts, the POS that made up stuff as he went along. No different than any of the hard core Leftists on the bench.

Can you tell me exactly what we are getting for all the hard grass roots work and money? All I am seeing, and apparently a large numbers of Americans, is nothing but a bunch of empty promises and capitulation to Leftists.

Respondents in The Hill Poll were asked to choose which of two approaches they would prefer on the budget, but the question’s phrasing included no cues as to which party advocated for which option.

Presented in that way, 55 percent of likely voters opted for a plan that would slash $5 trillion in government spending, provide for no additional tax revenue and balance the budget within 10 years — in essence, the path recommended by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) last week.

Notably, a plurality of respondents in The Hill poll agreed with Ryan’s assumption: Forty-five percent of voters said ObamaCare should be fully repealed..

However, as soon as respondents heard the words “Republican” and “Democrat,” the picture changed drastically

It does reflect the voters but the republicans don't make it easy to support them when say one thing and do another.

I used one example...they've allowed the stigma of being called "the party of the rich." I don't think I've heard one republican defend their party from that statement. How can you know what they really stand for when they let the democrats define who they are?

Democrats spend a lot of time disparaging the republicans and the public comes to think of them in a disparaging way. Some of us blame the republicans for allowing themselves to be in this kind of position for the polls to show a negative view of them.
They need to spend their energy defending the party against this kind of polling instead of bowing to the democrats and "going along to get along" as most of them do.
