The Republican cannibalism is something that they've been nurturing for nearly a decade and now we're seeing the result. I don't lean towards most of their policies, but I used to listen to ideas and occasionally agreed with some of their positions. The method of attack and refusal to believe that most people with liberal ideas are patriotic Americans has led the GOP to become a laughingstock of the world. Nobody has ever lead without a consensus of some sort, and the Republican party is about to learn it the hard way. C'mon guys, let's hear some middle of the road ideas that all of America can get behind. No matter how convinced you are that your ideas are right, if they involve attacking a large portion of the US population for one reason or another, your base will be to small too survive the harsh light public scrutiny. After that, it's simply a math equation.

If you recall, the bickering was just as bad between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama... even Bill Clinton accused thje Obama campaign of pulling the race card on Hillary.....this is part of the process and America is stronger for it. If the world is laughing it is due America becoming weak under the liberal leadership of Barack Obama. You will see at the next election how the math works out. Obama has lost 14% of women, 11% of African American, 15% of Latino voters. Independents are tire of villifying success thru class warfare and empty promises. We need RESULTS, not speeches. The independents who have left Obama will put thyis country back on trhe path to leadership.

Chuck, is this your equal time for democratic cartoons? Fact check....what is your count at?

@ Jay..you are right on. Build a welfare state so that no one prospers. Everyone is reliant on the statists........that way the statists buy there vote, but nothing is ever earned from the left side of the isle. A people reliant on it's government and given "just enough" to survive. Therefore just enough to voite democratic because republicans believe all have an opportunity to get ahead. There is a lot of success in America. And a lot of dependence. 47% of Americans pay no tax, and much of that people actually are money ahead after entitlement. It is really not hard to figure out. Old guys parents should have instilled the values of work hard and you will get ahead....instead, he believe in the entitlements of the left, provided by the republicans that have been successful. Nothing like taking from one group to give to another. Itr looks like the Republican millionaires are excpected to fund all the entitlements....and conservatives are also the most giving when it comes to charity. Geez, old guy, try opening your mind. Then you can open your wallet. Either to receive your paycheck or your entitlement check in your billfold.

What has the Democratic Party done for minorities?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Voting Right Act of 1965 - southern Dems who opposed these acts found themselves more comfortable in the Republican Party.

Read the articles linked at the bottom of the above page.

What a Deal! would bring more credibility to the conversation by not hiding behind an alias. Why not make yourself known?

Mak myself known as in OldDeeGee...call me YoungTeePee.....anyway, the Civil rights act of 1964 received more Republican support than Democratic support., The initial bill was opposed by 18 dems and 1 repub.... from Wikipedia... "The bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964 and the "Southern Bloc" of 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage". If you would like to see vote totals by party here they are....

So, what party did what for the people?

@Terry You may want to read 'The Big Black Lie' by Kevin Jackson.

Since repubs did more on this act maybe we can go all the way back to Lincoln. It is pretty bad when you have to go back 60 years to see what they have done. With the root article, Obama's economic policies have failed. Failed whites, blacks, and all the rest too. Health care reform has killed jobs, added to the deficit, anddiscourages confidence and innovation. Look at the latest CBO reports where they uh, made a mistake on the estimates because of bad data submitted by the Obama admin. I haven't seen him do anything in Education,. though he now wants the Federal government to be a truant officer to keep kids in school tioll they are 18. I am all fpor education but really, what has he done? The Root is an "opinion page" on culture and politics. Opinion is not necessarily fact. Again, follow Wiki on the Civil Rights Act. It is not opinion, it is history, and unbiased.

As for the Voting Rights Act......more Republicans voted in favor than Democrats. Here are the facts....

The Act was sent to Congress by President Johnson on March 17, 1965. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of seventy-seven to nineteen. The House was slower to give its approval. After five weeks of debate, it was finally passed on July 9.

As for who does the most for the people.....I don't understand why people are under the perception that Republicans are "anti-people" except that they (Repubs) do a poor job of getting their message out. Democrats on the other hand have mastered the arty of demogaugery and vilianization. Republicans promote opportunity to get ahead and make something of one's self, Democrats promote the entitlement and statist state where everything is big government down to the people.....why do we not say anymore, work hard and you will be a success? Why do you think people have always immigrated to America, past and present? I assure you it is not for entitlements. I support that we should all, govt included, live within our means. Welfare and entitlement must be balanced. They are necessary and in many cases deserved, but, it must be controlled. Thats what we need to do and that is the Republican message. If we don't do something, Medicare, medicaid, and Social Security will go away. Our debt and deficit are out of control and we are ALL in it together. Spend less, spend wisely, balance the budget, only spend an amount consistent and appropriate to our GNP.....I am willing to give up some of my social security if it means my children will see some of it. Unfortunately, they probably won't and because the many will not give a little, the future will not get any. What will you give up?

@ Terry....I know it is difficult for you to mount a viable argument using the two items YOU threw out there so quickly, without research it appears.....the fact that 18 Dems defected (I'll take your word for it but you provide no facts or names). has nothing to do with the Republican party. Even if thiisIS the case, I would say a couple things....1). Those bills passed due to massive majority support from the Repubs... 2). Even if you add in your 18 defectors, the Republicans are still a majority supporting and STILL outnumber the Dems. 3). It appears the Repubs have done more for the people than the Dems using your criteria, and 4). Only you can say the 18 defectors were more comfortable in the Republican party. I say keep your Racist buddies on your side of the aisle. There defection has nothing to do with the core values and the ideals of Republicans and/or Conservatives. We don't want your rejects....If I were you and had to try and defend racist Democrats I would exit the conversation too. Just don't blame your inability to mount a viable argument or an intelligent one on me using an alias. That is a big joke! You are easy to see through, just like our President.

The real caption should state. "I'll make this statement short because I don't want to answer real questions on the economy, gas prices, my campaign promises I've broken, employment numbers my office is fudging with, and all the other issues that affect our nation that cripple it." and "Oh! my bungled health care program that my own secretary of health doesn't realize that it will raise our national debt."
