    Name one thing you'd change. Don't say breathing stopped, or harm in anyway.

    The actual GOP, enough courage to stand up to dominating altra right influence it is experiencing, but I ain't seeing it as long as it hasn't yet cost them politically

    I'd have to agree with this one. As a Christian myself I feel sick when those jerks in power, start dealing, and conniving behind a veil of supposed religious ideals. When they start to do, instead of just point the finger, I might feel less queasy.

    Things that needs to change on both sides is lobbying, and lame support of sleazebags like Moore, and Wiener.

    I would have them return to conservative principles, and quit acting like liberal progressives.

    Lots of good responses. This one resonates the loudest though for me. The cost in human lives, and in money that could have been used to better our country in so many ways, is shameful and outrageous.

    65,000 of our children, brothers, sisters, parents have died in pointless wars since the Korean War ended. Over 200,000 have been wounded since then, some so grievously that they've needed lifelong care and support. We have vets and military families on food stamp aid because of poor pay. We have homeless vets. And then there are the suicides. 20+ per day. Per day. (source: https://www.militarytimes.com/vetera...cide-each-day/ )

    Republicans, many of them, are infatuated with weaponry, military "glamour," battles, wars, combat, the idea that engaging in this behavior somehow equals strength. It does not. Strength isn't being the world's bully. It's having the courage to address the nation's needs and direct tax dollars there to truly build a stronger America. Infrastructure, health care, education, jobs -- these things are what lift us up.

    Bombs and BFGs, not so much.

    the one that usurped that party...........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    I would change "one thing".......I would ask they (those supposedly evil republicans) begin all conversations with liberals by asking one simple question. That question: "By what type of moral standing do you suggest that its OK to take a gun (threat by Government of fine and or prison by force).....and steal the personal earned income of another US Citizen and redistribute it to another US Citizen?"

    Example: Demanding that the top earners of this nation pay for the personal responsibilities of other US CITIZENS, things that are not a RIGHT guaranteed by the Constitution...like housing, phones, healthcare (as no one has the right to threaten others with prison if they do not provide a personal service to others...as those others did not pay for the 8 years of medical school, etc. its socialized theft paramount to indentured servitude/slavery)

    Again...its a simple question if Socialism is so noble....why the requirement to threaten people in order to take away their earned income? Charity is given not taken....by threats of prison and or violence.

    It probably made a new profile. I've heard that you can get a warning and/or be banned for that, so let a mod know.
