Crazy doesn't have a party affiliation. It runs ramant through society.

Why can't Pelosi be both a lunatic and a liar? I hate having to make tough decisions like having to pick just one thing when both options are fitting.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

true. But I think the crazy left is more mainstream, if that makes sense. I dont know any bible thumping right wingers but know plenty of looney lefties. Might just be cuz I live in MA.

I agree, I never said that conservatives have a monopoly on virtue.

But someone (Spence, RIRockhound) please tell me when one of the top 5 conservative politicians in the country, said something that obviously crazy and false. I can't think of anything, I just cannot. If John Boehner had a press conference and said "affirmative action is the mantra of the republican party", he would correctly be labeled as a lunatic and he would be rightly expelled from public service.

Some may say Bush was that wrong when he concluded that Iraq had WMD's, but a LOT of people agreed with Bush at that time. No one on the planet earth believes that there is a shred of truth to what Pelosi said. She is truly bizarre, and I submit that someone that disconnected from reality would not get elected speaker of the house as a republican.

Who will be the next Democratic speaker? John Hinkley?

Very true. Now they will be front and center and Pelosi won't be.

In the end - what about we the people? We vote and can't ever seem to get what we want or need. Too many special interests seem to influence all these polititcians.

Everyone knows we have Deficit issues and Economic issues and the new congress is targeting health insurance like the old congress did.

Why not cut the corporate tax and bring some jobs back to the USA?
