Enough.

If you vote Republican, you are supporting a party willing to throw the global economy into turmoil for the sake of its cherished ideology.  The Congressional Republicans, held hostage by extreme Tea Party shenanigans, were willing to throw the global economy into a tailspin because they don't want taxes raised ever, not by any amount, not even a measly 3% on those who can most afford it!  These people, these irresponsible, cynical, cowardly, unreasonable people, told America that they were more than happy to continue their temper tantrum even if that meant bringing on an economic crisis greater than the one we're already going through and barely recovering from.  They care nothing for shared sacrifice, for the common good, nor for their fellow citizens.  They care about power.

You can tell me all the things that are wrong with the Democrats - and I'll likely agree with you on some of those complaints (not the least of which is that the Dems need to learn how to stand up against the blatant blackmail practiced by the Repubs).  But the basic problem is this -- Republicans do not see ANY Democratic president as having legitimacy.  They wanted us to default because they saw that as a path to gaining back the White House in 2012.  For these individuals, compromise is a dirty word.  How dare they behave in such a reckless manner and how dare anyone support them? 

The Republican Party of the 21st Century does not care about governing. They care about power and that is all.  If you vote Republican, you are supporting a party that cares more about naked power than they do about this country's well being. Full stop.
