Boehner: ‘A Lot’ Of Republicans Want To Force Default, Create ‘Enough Chaos’ To Pass

[DeistPaladin]

Your country is becoming as polarised as Germany in the 30s.This is a worrying trend.

I remember studying this subject in my German IV class. We haven't gotten out the jackboots yet but I suspect that won't be our style of fascism. Crosses and fireworks are more our style. Wasn't there once a famous quote along those lines?

This has been happening for the last two decades at least. The Republicans have been following a strategy of run to the right to fire up their base. The Democrats have been following a strategy of chase after them to appeal to the elusive "center" while throwing the base under the bus because, hey, who else are they gonna vote for?

The result now is we have two parties: Fascist and Center Right.

My vote is to work on the Democrat party first. The "conserva-Dems" and the spineless need to be thrown out, even if it means a Republican replaces them. I now refuse to vote for another conserva-Dem just because the alternative Republican may be worse. This includes Obama, who clearly is center-right, contrary to all the screaming of "socialism".

We progressives and others on the left need to make this intention known. We're not volunteeriing or donating or voting unless we see some opposition to the Republican agenda. We're willing to let Romney and the Republicans run the country into the ground for another four years if we have to.
