I'm tired of reading in the US that the budget talks broke up due to ideological differences for example
As the two sides tussled over the hardest ideological questions, administration officials said they tried to satisfy Boehner’s demands.
Saying "No" to everything is not an ideology; it is the equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum.
Republicans at no time in the last two years have done anything but whine about fucking taxes, Muslims, the LGBT community, teachers and women's rights, this is not ideology it is petulance.
Two years of throwing their toys out the pram is not the behavior of a group of adults but of a group of spoilt brats with no regard to the suffering of others.
They have tried to block health care for millions.
They have tried to take away women's rights.
They have blocked any legislation trying to help millions find work.
They have assaulted the education system at every turn.
They have descended into the murky pools of racism.
They blocked legislation that in the past they had proposed.
All for what?
Taxes, not a bit of it, all in the name of power.
This is not an ideology it is however a farce.
My hope in 2012 is that they are made to pay dearly for their obstruction, lies, bigotry, racism and misogyny all generated by their need for power.
The truth?
The Republicans in DC are bunch of rich brats in it for themselves and the US can burn for all they care, and are a disgrace to the party whose name they insist upon using.
