Why do so many Republicans assume Democrats have a blind loyalty to their party?

Because Rush said do.

There actually have been studies done that show there is difference between how the brain of left and right leaning people work. There is actual physiological world view. They are not better than one or the other just different. The same chaos that is tolerated in left leaning brain is seen as spineless and unprincipaled. Likewise the rigid hierarchy (patriarchal) of the right can seem like blind loyalty.

I do wish the level of discourse was higher.

I don't assume that all Democrats have a blind loyalty. But you must admit that SOME do. The same can be said of the Republicans also.

The only debate I've seen is whether to burn the constitution or run it through a shredder.

"They should realize that the reason the party appears so chaotic is because there is constant debate, discussion and conflict internally."

Hmmm, I think you absolutely no self awareness if you fail to see the hypocrisy inherent in your own question. You attack Republicans in general for allegedly accusing democrats of blindly following their party. You then make the exact same allegation against them. Look in a mirror when you ask stupid questions like this.

F'n Nazi.

Or are Dems simply the latest incarnation of the followers of Jim Jones?

You guys sure know how to pick your leaders!

P.S. I take HUGE offense at being referred to as a Nazi. They came damn close to murdering my Father (as well as Millions of people) and came close to destroying his life. Every night he had nightmares of his ship crashing into the Channel, on fire, with him still in it.

DON'T do it again.

First, democrats voted for the guy with the least experience possible. Then democrats voted for a bill no one had time to read. What will you close your eyes, hold your nose and vote for next?

It is merely a reflection of themselves...they think just because every Republican reveres their failed Repug leaders than that means Libs do also.

I expect at the least, competency, intelligence and honesty from my leaders, no matter if they are Dem or Repug.

Because a large part of the democratic party is black and they voted 98% for Obama.

I agree with IgnoranceIsYou!

They simply cannot be a part of a thing that they are not the leader of! Negativity will be their downfall! Why, because i'm not afraid of this president!

Because they....just like the republicans....flock together and are afraid to say no to a bad idea.
