    At least 1 Republican gets it.. (Bob Dole)

    Bob Dole..

    "I think they ought to put a sign on the [Republican] national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas," Dole said.

    To be fair I think Neut Gets it as well.. Too bad the rest of the GOP has turned into a bunch of sourpuss whine babies, incapable of doing anything for this country.
    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

    I guess Dole forgot that is what GOP members of congress said on Obama's first day.
    I'm sure that meeting with a boiling mad idiot Boehner after the election would have changed nothing.

      Heh nice find.. Guess that's minus one Republican that gets it.. That was short lived. (a sensable sounding Republican that is)

          Anyone who thinks one party is better than the other isn't seeing the big picture.

            It's not about how one party is better than the other.. It's about how one party is at least trying to do something, meanwhile the other just kicks and screams like a baby in the corner because they can't get what they want 100% of the time.

              I had a feeling Dole didn't have too much stomach for the scumpit the GOP has become over the last few years.

                Na he doesn't actually get it.. I thought perhaps he might by what he said in that interview.. However the vid blackmonsters posted sums up the problems with the Republican party.

                Dole said "their number one political goal should be to deny Obama a second term".

                I'm sorry but that is exactly what is wrong with the GOP. Their main priority is to get them selves re-elected.. Vs their main political goal should be "serving the people". He is just as bad as the rest.. I thought maybe he might be different , but guess not..

                I have nothing against them trying to make Obama a 1 term president, but not if they put that ahead of actually doing their fucking job. Which is exactly what they have done. They put their party ahead of the needs of this country.

                It's what allowed them to be first hi jacked by the Religious right and now by the Tea Party. The Republican party has no soul it's just a cheap whore selling it's self out to whom ever can bring it the most votes..

                  The bottom line is, there's a whole bunch of old white men that need to die off(McConnel, Boehner, Chambliss, McCain, etc), and hopefully the next group of old white republican men will have a little progressive spirit in them.

                  The mindset of their country is becoming more progressive, and they're living in the 50's.

                  The USA needs two parties, but when one side is bunch of bigoted, obstructing, undermining assholes it can't work.

                    Senator McConnel said that in the video. I don't know if Dole ever said it but I'm saying
                    Dole's is off his rocker for thinking Obama could have met with congress more earlier,
                    because this video proves that any meeting early on was useless.

                      The country needs two or even three parties, I agree with that and I think each should have a chance of running the show for a while. It's never good to have only one choice.

                      However I have little confidence in the GOP doing any better in the future when people like Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Sara Palin & Michele Bachmann are the ones being pushed into the limelight..

                          Yea you're right.. I dunno why I was thinking that was Dole.. doesn't even look like him..

                          But yea there is nothing Obama could have done at anytime other than not be elected in the first place that would appease the Right. They want to cry about the left not compromising yet what have they done other than try to block everything.

                          You don't have to agree with everything Obama does or agree with any of it to see that he has tried to work with the right but the right has stone walled him at every turn. Compromise to the right means they get everything their way the other side gets nothing.

                          They need to learn that's not how the real world works.

                            To me, this is a good example of why term limits should be in place and could work well. This way these people, regardless of party, are not worried about getting re-elected and will focus on doing a good job.

                            Sure, they might worry about keeping their party in power or helping their party regain power, but the best way to do that is to do a good job.

                              The problem with Republicans.. They have no clue..



                              The last Republican President to actually lower the national debit since WW2 was Nixon..

                              Ford, Regan, Bush 1 & 2 all raised the debit.. but guys like Minte have some pretty damn rose colored glasses..

                              Obama is in fact the only Dem since Roosevelt that has the debit higher than when he came into office. He still has a few years to work on lowering it though.. Somehow Republicans live in this bizarro world where numbers and facts mean nothing as long as they go with their gut feeling..
