The partisan quabbling here is a little sickening. It's actually an accurate reflection of what is happening in this nation today.

"It's unprofessional to confuse loyalty with integrity." - A very true and relevant statement.

What has either party actually done for anyone here? What purpose is served by debating the shortfalls and negligence of either party? They're both guilty in my mind.

I mean, I know this petty $hit is the whole damn world to some you but c'mon,.....really?

KK, some of your statements about conservatives looking backwards are true,.......I will give you that. Although statements made in this thread about the current economic situation are not references to what "might" happen and "what if" scenarios. There IS a sovereign debt crisis on the horizon. There ARE problems with our budget deficit here at home. If there were not then why are central banks around the world now bailing out whole countries via monetization? The proof is in the pudding. If some of you wish to bury your head in the sand and ignore the problem be my guest, but there is no denying the current reality.

IMO it's being denied in much the same way conservatives denied, and still deny, the fact that US occupation and intervention in middle east countries is the number one driver behind radical islam. Now the current administration has picked up the neoconservative foreign policy ball and ran with it. Pathetic.

Here we have two self-indentified groups who are so married to their idealology that they cannot see the forest for the trees. In the mean time the country suffers.

What an utter disappointment.
