    This headline from Bloomberg news following Mitt Romney on Meet the Press seems to say it all:

    Romney: Democrats Are More Patriotic Than Republicans

    more from the article:

    Ah...the Republicans in Congress. What a selfish self centered, not give a damn crew. And to think the GOP candidate for VP is one of the ringleaders of this self centered group.

    Says a lot about the current state of the GOP.

    Earl you know damn well that GOP's are war provocateurs and that being said they don't mind sucking up federal money (peoples) to finance their war.

    Mitt Romney’s shortcomings, including his failure to ignite much enthusiasm within his own party, is now trying to acquire Obamacare. What a crock of sh*t.

    Obama cool as he is wants to work with Republicans provided they agree to raise taxes on the rich as well.

    In other thread in which somebody asked how taxes works they explained it according to a Neo-con point of view.

    All I can say is, you have a very strange definition of patriotism. Refusal to kowtow to the president's efforts to "fundamentally change the United States of America" sounds like one of the most patriotic things a person can do.

    Wedge politics at its worst. And Australia has followed the US lead with our right wing loony Opposition refusing to acknowledge anything the government does as being worthy and screaming they will reverse everything when they are elected. We are starting to see signs that this is backfiring. The Left govern on reform and feed the disadvantaged the Right govern on fear and feed the wealthy. The US would see our right wing loony party as lefties. We see the GOP as "you gotta be kidding me, you REALLY believe that!" We would lock up your Tea Party.

    so o-nation I guess you really like those republican members of congress who didn't give a sh!t about US policies, didn't give a damn about the worst recession in modern times...didn't know what obama was going to propose....but just decided we are going to oppose obama.

    you like them and I'm sure bin laden liked them too. He also didn't give a crap about the american economy.

    I'm sure Hugo Chavez summed up those who opposed his policies in much the same way. Nothing like calling people unpatriotic for disagreeing with your views.Its very McCarthy like. Maybe if you call them unpatriotic enough, you can get them to vote for Cap and Trade or late term abortions. Simply demonize and threaten them and I'm sure you can get what you want. This, and the random accusations of racism have gotten to the point it is simply pathetic. Its a respect killer.

    @Bobolord: I was going to call out the ignorance of your statement related to the tea party, but as you don't even know the meaning of the term "wedge politics", I wont waste my time. Hint: it has nothing to do with any of the subject matter of this thread so far. Nothing.

    We love your Tea Party republicans here. Standing shoulder to shoulder protecting the country and waving the constitution in the air. Very patriotic. Senseless stupid ideas for sure but they make our politicians look great.

    Why am I not surprised you find small government, fiscal responsibility and personal liberty to be senseless and stupid ideas. Seriously, is anyone surprised?

    Here you are, I dug out the words of our PM from a couple of weeks back.

    "She hit out at ongoing internet rumour-mongering, sheeting it home to "the misogynists and the nut jobs on the internet" and likening them to the so-called Birther movement which continues to claim that president Barack Obama was not born in the US.
    This is not reason, it's not facts, it's not anything to do with any of those things. It's to do with this sort of Americanisation of our politics, these eccentric Tea Party-style interventions that we are seeing in our politics."

    They certainly have an outstanding reputation. Read into what she said what you will.

    Why would I give a crap about what she has to say? She is as uninformed as you are. Sad isn't it.

    Don't feel bad. You aren't alone. Most liberals are equally uninformed. It is why they are liberals.

    So what words did you mention "fiscal responsibility". Now which underregulated country (AKA Small government) under the watch of Republicans and populated by greedy bankers (AKA personal liberty) caused the biggest financial collapse in the world's history sending entire countries into recession, causing millions of uninvolved citizens of the world to suffer through corporate collapses, unemployment and loss of savings.

    You mentioned "small government" - Google GFC and see what a lack of regulations causes. Show me small government and I'll show you corporations running roughshod over private citizens.

    You mentioned "personal liberty" - whatever - can't be bothered with that rot.

    Was this your attempt to further demonstrate how uninformed you are? If so, you succeeded. Seriously. Greedy bankers = personal liberty? You are starting to sound like some deranged crack addict.

    Greedy bankers exercising their right to be able to do whatever they want - give me freedom, give me liberty!!!

    Pity they did it with other people's money in such an unconstrained fashion without supervision by the government.

    Without the supervision of government? Now you have truly lost it. Government not only supervised, it assisted.

    Thank you for again demonstrating the ignorant meme's being perpetuated by the left. It is pure comedy to watch you complain about the birthers and their false claims while at the same time perpetuating idiotic stereotypes based on pure bullshit. In all probability, the whole birther movement was created in response to uninformed people like yourself and the silly things you say.

    Well, as we Liberals say "when a conservative has lost the argument they always resort to name calling". I'll take your many concessions on board, but I'm bored now.

    And as we moderates point out, when ideologues get trounced they run away(while declaring victory). Run forest, run.

    That must be the joke of the century . Today's liberals are the number one mudslingers and scaremongers . The examples are so numerous that it would take ages to add them all up .

    It takes a liberal to rape threaten olympians and death threaten little girls ; your feminazi movement label all women who don't follow them "dumb sluts" and everyone who disagrees is a racist , a homophobic , a nazi (conservative jews included) and a bigot . The list goes on and on and on .

    The day Liberals might stop and think for 5 minutes is the day a lot of the world's problems will be solved .

    You have a weird fascination with getting the last word in, even if it means making an idiotic statement like the one quoted above. Does having the last word make you feel better about your argument? If you were going to reply but have some reason for running away.... why not just not reply at all? Why make a post to tell us you are not going to reply?
