Since you feel it is your duty to attack Liberals and Democrats all the time! How is it that you really think you are so much better, and have the right to do so? I defend when we are attacked! It seems that sarcasm is your favorite form of attack!
Don't you agree we could accomplish much more without the back and forth?

I agree with you that if we worked together, much more could be accomplished.
However, you cannot dismiss the fact that the people on the left are doing the EXACT same to those on the right. America seems to be divided down the middle based on party. George Washington, one of our greatest founding fathers, warned us of the dangers of political parties over 200 years ago, and what he feared came true. He made a whole presidential address about this one time.
Basically, the exact same thing is happening on both sides. Sometimes is seems like the only thing that keeps Democrats together is their hatred directed toward the Bush administration, and Republicans the same about the Democratic controlled Congress.

Actually, I do agree with you....but it has to come from both parties.
Neither wants to start. I've answered questions with my views before without slandering and have had the asker add on comments that have been petty and snippy.
Politics is a sensitive issue for most people (Republicans and Democrats alike)
Your question is actually very charged and will most definitely get some heated answers because it was aimed at only one party and a little bit rude.
Remember that Both parties need to stop the snippiness, not just one or the other.

The issue is that Democrats don't have any plan other than to say "The Republicans are doing it wrong. They shouldn't be doing that. We shouldn't have done that." That is the problem. Demand of your leaders to come up with something that can work other than to gripe about what the Republicans are doing. Give me a legitimate alternative and then maybe I'll listen to what you have to say. Just being honest.

Would you like me to provide you of hundreds of 'questions' right here in this forum (in the past few days), that have bashed conservatives? If so, I'll happily do that.
You act as though it's only you liberals that get attacked. What a laugh!!!!

I don't mean this to be sarcastic, and I'm not even a Republican, I'm a Libertarian.
How do you expect Conservatives, who want to keep the money they earned, to compromise with people that don't even admit that they earned it in the first place? Instead of saying "we're going to tax the rich", speak honestly and say "we are going to take away some of YOUR money because we can spend it better than you can." Or instead of talking about "tax fairness", voice your basic premise, which is "It isn't fair for people to keep their own money and spend it as they choose."
Is there any compromise when the basic difference is over the existence of property rights?
At the same time, you realize that you can't compromise personal freedom. How are you going to compromise on gay rights, say that it's okay to be homophobic on alternate Tuesdays?
I can't compromise with either one of you, and since you take turns controlling government and the guns to take away either my property or my freedom, what else do I have but to sarcastically illustrate the hypocrisy of both of you, talking about "freedom" when all either of you want is to run my life?

You could accomplish much more if we agreed with you, but we don't. You are wrong. It is our duty to do the right thing.
Why don't you come over to our side in order to eliminate the back and forth?

What is the attraction that would make me want to be a Democrat? Help me here, just why should I become a LIBERAL?

I find it funny that you only point to the republicans on this one. Then ask if it would be better if we didn't attack, your question is an attack.

I don't believe in the Giant Nanny State. I believe in being self reliant.
I believe we should fight our enemies not run and hide from them.
If you feel this is sarcasm or an "attack" on liberals you are mistaken!

I should not answer, cause I'm not republican. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Although I have been known to lash out, but it has mostly been to defend my views when they are attacked. I'm basicaly saying what you already said.
I can't believe someone said they're smarter because they have more money! Keep kidding yourself! I bet Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are REALLY SMART? LOL! What a joke! I think he proved himself wrong by just saying that.
