Republican Senator says GOP way too extreme

Just how far from reality is the GOP?
No farther than the Democrat Party is.

I disagree with that. I left the Republican Party because the extreme right completely controls the party. To those of you on the far right, you think the Democrats are far left because you are so far to the right, but the fact is that most Democrats are fairly moderate. Moderate Republicans are finding their way to the Democratic Party.

I understand you wanting to leave the Republican party because of the extremism, but if all of the moderate pubs leave, then that party will have serious problems. More so than now, if that's even conceivable. :eek:

Any "moderate" republicans that were finding their way to the democratic party got chased off by Obama.
 
Wow, a liberal GOP'er who wants to give away taxpayer goodies to stay in power says that the GOP is too extreme.

I wonder what Thomas Payne would make of that?

Hey liar.

"Bringing home pork" is how pols from both sides stay in power. For you to think it's a "lib vs con" thing is pretty damn ignorant.
 
Dale Schultz (R-Wisconsin), said in a recent interview, that the GOP has become too extreme, and compared its decision-making to that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He was criticizing the late-night legislating that led to the final passage of the state budget, specifically the "10 hours of secret negotiations among majority Republicans," where lawmakers discussed school vouchers, income tax breaks and public school funding.

Look, I think that things have gotten way too extreme and out of hand, and when we start taking important policy issues about whether or not we're going to have bounty hunters in Wisconsin and throwing them in -- in the middle of the night -- without any transparency, public discussion, or analysis, I think we have a problem," Schultz said.

What a majority of the people have an issue with, is how this was done in secret, without public knowledge or consent, which is not what a transparent democracy does. The GOP will have you believe they want "limited" government, yet these are their actions.

The Appleton Post-Crescent published an editorial Wednesday chastising legislators for failing to operate during business hours. "Lawmakers: You look sneaky at best and downright deceptive at worst when you work at night and change the budget seemingly on a whim," the paper wrote. "This must stop. Find a way to conduct your business during normal business hours, and give voters notice on the changes you’re considering that affect their lives and the tax bills."

A spokesperson for the Republican Party of Wisconsin could not be reached for comment (of course!).

Just how far from reality is the GOP? They sit there, and down right demonize government, and spew hate for liberals and the like for all of their missuses of power, yet they act like an authoritarian government
.

you need a tissue? or cheese?
all that over what ONE person says...good grief

Obviously you are too dense to even understand what I was trying to say.

yeah sure, you people post ONE person from the Republicans party and go off on your usual rant...we see it daily

Republicans in Wisconsin are too extreme?

:lmao:

As compared to the Wisconsin Democrats who ran away to Illinois a few years back?

Runaway legislators who hid out in a neighboring state because they didn't like the budget?

Oh too funny!

but but, that IS DIFFERENT...and ok in their book...could be called the Party of idiots and cowards
 
Who the fuck is "Dale Schultz" and just why should I care about his opinion?

Did you read his opinion though? This is what cracked me up in it.

Bounty hunters are an important policy issue to Dale. All the problems that WIsconsin faces and Schultz is upset about bounty hunters.

:lol:

Being the nosy little parker that I am, I thought I'd look up old Dale's bio.

It appears he's a whiner.

2011 Wisconsin protests

In 2011, Schultz was the only Senate Republican to vote against the Wisconsin budget repair bill which sparked the 2011 Wisconsin protests. Several Assembly Republicans voted against the bill as well.

According to Schultz, he had intended to offer a compromise amendment to the bill, but Walker "decoyed" him, misleading him into leaving the Senate chamber


:eusa_angel:

Yup he's a whiner.

You mean they dont? Could have fooled me.

You tell me...there are just over 50 Tea Party Caucus members in the House and over 70 members of the Progressive Caucus. Which group holds more sway over party leaders? Was there a public option included in the Health Care reform? Have they ever manage to hold legislation hostage as the Tea Party Caucus has?

Well the Tea party doesn't have a progressive-Socialist-commie as President now do they?

SNIP:
The DSA's ideas are greatly influenced by those of writer Michael Harrington, Chairman of the League for Industrial Democracy (1964) and member of the National Executive Board of the Socialist Party of America (1960–68). Opposed to capitalism and communism alike as cruel and anti-libertarian social systems, Harrington advocated working for a realignment of the U.S. Democratic Party, away from an amorphous amalgam of often contradictory ideas towards making it a principled party of the left.

Throughout his life, Harrington simultaneously embraced the thinking of Karl Marx while rejecting the "actually existing" Communist systems of the Soviet Union, China, and Eastern Europe. Harrington said:[5]


"Put it this way. Marx was a democrat with a small d. The Democratic Socialists envision a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning...and racial equality.
I share an immediate program with liberals in this country because the best liberalism leads toward socialism.... I want to be on the left wing of the possible."
