The party of personal responsibility?

You folks crack me up. You're all over in the Coulter thread talkin' about OMG the DEMS are gonna win! And trying to find every possible way to pin the blame for it on everyone except the Republican party. It's the media, it's the entire world, it's the pesky liberals always complaining....and the polls are obviously mistaken. America loves us, see?

Is that why you're getting voted out?

Is it so hard for the 'party of personal responsibility' to take a little personal responsibility for their screw-ups and maybe....fix them?

Lookin' back, Iraq was a bad idea. The defecit spending thing? bad idea. Domestic spying? bad idea. DeLay? Bad idea.
Call me crazy, but the American public might just be a little peeved at Republicans for all things that Republicans fumbled these last 6 years.
Instead of trying to blame it on everyone else, why don't you just suck it up and fix it? It's called 'personal responsibility'. You guys should try it sometime. :rolleyes:
 
Posts in L&P often devolve to partisan diatribes, but rarely start so blatantly as such.

There's some constructive criticism in that initial post...

...and "rarely" do partisan threads start so "blatantly?"... look again. It's pretty obvious to someone that's fairly new here, that for the most part, many posters here are less inclined to co-opt other political idealogies to the cause of preserving gun rights, than they are to spew anti-liberal or anti-democrat bile.
 
We can't fix it

That is up to our oath taking Congress's, President, Vice President and the 9 that sit occasionally with black robes.

We can grumble and say many things out of frustration and ignorance.

We need more guns and less laws. Got rid of those pesky Samurai. Then they got down to some real killing, 100 years ago, then they met their Waterloo.

Who's next you ask?

Do you really think so? I don't think Billy Boy could have borked the situation any worse. Sure, we got a break on gun rights, but the rest of the Bill of Rights has gotten it in the pants remorselessly since 9/11, and the adminsitration has been using the National Charge Card like a gaggle of teenage girls at the mall.
 
I agree with mark here. I am happy with GW for not stealing our gun rights, but most other rights are being walked on with golf shoes.

I am truly concerned with alleged "terrorists" being "detained" without a speedy trial.

But it's okay, as long as it's conservatives or Republicans that are being bashed. This thread would have been closed after the first post if it were leftists or Democrats being attacked.
 
Give me a break. Go through L&P and tally up all the posts in the last week alone with "liberal" in their title, and let me know how many were closed by staff "after post one".
 
I still think you have a bit of a persecution complex there. The vast majority of political discussions in L&P are right-leaning and critical of liberalism, not the other way around.
 
Of course, Hilary, John, Teddy, Al, Chuckie and a few others will fix it up fine when they take the Pres, house and senate.......hide your guns, the socialists are coming..
 
HJB's got it pegged. A little constructive criticism. If you think you've got a brand-identity problem...fix the problem.
My take is a healthy Republican party makes for a healthy America. TIFWIW.
 
The party of personal responsibility?

It certainly isn't the liberty encroaching, two-peas-in-a-pod fraud that we've been putting up with all these years.:rolleyes:
 
"The party of personal responsibility?"

I know, I know. It's the party of FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society. What do I win? ;)

On FDR - "In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy." www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html
