^^^ Love that part at the end of your quote about fearful media misframing the conflict (even though so many loud mouths cry liberal bias, one look at this situation and it's really conservatively biased). I am so fracking sick of the false equivalency that the usual suspects chirp about.

Sorry, it's only been one party that has gridlocked government. One party that has used more filibusters in one presidents ruling than ALL OF HISTORY COMBINED. One party that has said many times on record that it is their job to make the president unpopular or keep him to one term. One party that has forced default and debt celing crisis. One party more guilty of gerrymandering. One party whole expects to lead or rule despite not having the mandate.

One party is guilty of these things. The democrats have never held the country hostage like this.

Yes both parties are bad, petty and destructive at times. Yes the system is broken and both sides are at fault.

But for all the usual republican apologizers reading this, please just stop with ths false equivalency, because the republicans have taken it to a whole other level. It's not even comparable at this point.

Hopefully it blows up in their face like many analysts think it will. Hopefully enough of the public can see through the politics and really turf this party at all levels.

Course blind religious ideologues and dumb tea partiers will probably hang on for a while.

Not sure how anyone else could vote republican though. The apologists should really be ashamed.
