If these people are really legal voters, I wonder the mentallity of these two parties voting for our leaders. Other countries witnessing this must think the U.S. has the mentallity of a 5 year old. Am I the only one that thinks they should grow up?
Evidently I've hurt some name basher's feelings on here. Otherwise, why be so defensive? Those rude remarks just made my point. LOL

Yes, I'm very tired of it. Debate is one thing, and name-calling contests are another.
If you can't say what you have to say in a civil manner, maybe there's a weakness in your argument.
I think that there should be a zero-tolerance policy for blatant name-calling ("you're an idiot", "you're stupid"), and the like.
Name-calling doesn't persuade people to see your point of view. Its only function is to vent anger. We as a species need to rise above anger if we want to have peace on this planet.

I was just thinking the same thing about other countries believing Americans are stupid. But I was thinking how they must react when they see people like Barney Frank, Blago, and Nancy Pelosi as representating the people. Go on and add Bush, Larry Craig, and whatever other Republicans you want to throw in there too.
For some reason, the voters consistently elect sorry excuses for human beings with the collective mentality of a 5-year old. There are very few in leadership that are truly intelligent, patriotic people. I wrote in Ron Paul for President.

After what was just elected? I would agree.

It's refreshing to see someone such as yourself that is "above" insulting other political groups.
You are perfect!!! How can I be more like you? <sarcasm>
BTW
You misspelled MENTALITY twice

I am a former full-conservative, now moderate because of what you are talking about. The left is full of Bush-bashers and the right is a country-club for the rich and know-nots.
But I have to say that the right is far more diversive. I have spent a lot of time in GOP ranks if anyone thinks this is not a frat for people that hate blacks, jews, gays, liberals and everyone and anyone who doesn't walk lock step with "conservative christian" values they you do not know who these people are.
And the Dems--the weak sister of American politics---the catch basket of bad politics.
And by the way, the political systems in other countries like England, France and Italy are for more contentious.
