Actually, this "war" began under Bush.
Democrats decided that fighting an ideological war in the media was easier than actually addressing the nation's needs. Causing one crisis after another, using them to force change down everyone's throats, using a corrupt media to criminalize everything this country once stood for, marginalize the majority and render their values obsolete and replace it with an amoral values system that finds nothing wrong with corruption in government as long as the handouts continue. The solution to every problem is always more money is needed, and thus taxes must go up periodically for everyone. The rich, who are always the targets, suffer the least, so taxes must go up again.
What does American exceptionalism mean?
It means when everyone else says it can't be done we do it anyway. Yes we can has been replaced with "Why we can't", because we can't afford it anymore.
No it wasn't muddy. It was started right after Obama was elected when a group of prominent Republicans including members of Congress decided that they would oppose ANYTHING that Obama would try to accomplish. And their opposition would never end regardless of consequences to the American public.
You all should have thought this through a little better don't you think? You Republican will have been in opposition for 8 years soon enough. Without accomplishing ANYTHING.
You really think moderate voters in this country are going to forget that lack of doing ANYTHING constructive for the country?
Ain't gonna happen dude. You right wing whack jobs can vote three time each and you will still lose the next Presidential election and hopefully lose some House seats as well.
Curious....
If we had a conservative president...., and a conservative senate.....but democrats owned the house....
Would the house vote in favor of the building of a wall along the border?
Would the house vote to repeal the ACA?
Would the house vote to ensure no tax payer funds are used on abortions?
would the house vote to ban Gay Marriage?
Would the house vote to ship all illegals out of the country?
Would the house vote to fund GITMO?
You see...you are one of those idiots that falls for the rhetoric. It is not that the house was going to vote against ALL Obama initiatives. The house refused to agree on initiatives that were not popular with their constituents and not in line with their ideology......you know....doing what their base expected of them.
That is why an ultra conservative or ultra liberal president who governs ONLY for the base of his party is a bad thing...because it means congress will get nothing done.
Reagan tried it, but realized he had to govern for all in his second term...and he did.
Clinton as well.
Obama?
Fucking cry baby child who does nothing but complain "they wont let me do things".....
His job is to GET THEM to do things....he just doesn't know how to.
He knows it would take work.
Reading speeches is about as hard as he wants to work.
He'd rather be rubbing elbows with the ultra-rich than spend time dealing with the needs of us peasants.
