"The once-great party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan has turned its back on the ideals of liberty and self-governance," he said. "Instead, it has embraced lies and deceit. The Republican party used to believe in a big tent... Now, we shelter the ignorant, the racist, who only stoke anger and hatred."

Many of us have been saying this for years. The Republican party is an empty shell of what it once was and could be. It's a loose collection of undereducated, racist, dangerous people who fall for outlandish conspiracy theories and don't have even a basic understanding of science, medicine, and math.

Many of us HAVE been saying it for years, but it was a delight hearing Rep. Kinzinger say it also.

The GOP has turned into a sewer. They need to be reminded of that.
 
Both parties have gone downhill...BIG TIME.

Back when Clinton was POTUS?
America (almost) balanced our budgets.
Now - the left CANNOT run high enough deficits.

There were no/few whiney lefties who demanded everything handed to them...and their debts, paid off by taxpayers.
Now - it's the left's mantra...gimmie, gimmie, gimmie.

And the left encouraged free speech - both in and out of government.
Now - the left's 'cancel culture movement tries to destroy anyone who says anything that they don't like.


Anyone who says the left/Dems has not fallen at LEAST as far as the right/Reps?
Has NO IDEA what they are talking about on this.


Once again, I DESPISE, both parties.

Instead of today with the left's 'cancel culture' movement - basically attacking/trying to destroy anyone who says something that someone else finds 'distasteful'.

The real shame is that only those Republicans who are stepping down or have been rejected by their party, speak the truth.

It's actually a bit of a disgrace. Now it's safe to vote for decent proposals made by Democrats?

It took a cancerous death sentence for McCain to vote 'no' on taking healthcare away from millions of people.

WTF is wrong with people?

Because their policies were never favored by the majority in the nation, Gingrich developed the 'monkeys flinging shit' method of politics in order to win elections.

It's been very successful for them, terrible for the nation.

trump took it one step farther by inviting Nazis to the table.

Putin fans only want to see the US weakened and disorganized. They don't care which party does it. Putin liked Trump because Trump was really good at setting the US on fire.

Ahhh, such clever insight from the board's resident anencephalic poster.

You do realize that in a couple years you Trumpists will be as rare as Tea Partiers these days. You'll all hide like cockroaches and never admit to being a Trump-Lover. But well know you were.

That's it exactly! Putin would play whomever he needed to play. It was just easier for him to play Trump because Trump is so stupid and is, himself, a lover of every dictator he ever met. Trump was what they used to call a "useful idiot".

Agreed. Notice how all of JPP's most ardent Trump fans are mostly White Supremacists who want to destroy the Federal government.

It's why Putin supports them so much. They have similar goals.

Wow! That's scathing and so true. Republicans don't care about the truth. All they care about is what lies they can get their voters to believe That will get them re-elected.

You know who really disappointed me as a GOP in congress? Dan Crenshaw of Texas. He came onto the scene a couple years ago acting reasonable and moral. Then he realized he had to be an appeaser so he went MAGA.

Fuck those guys. They'll all like Nazi collaborators.
