[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4093264, member: 76548"] Our current two party system is a continuous cycle of hypocrisy on both sides, and there's no end in sight. This was started a long time ago, and until one party takes and truly sticks to the high road, it will be an indefinite cycle. The problem as I see it, is that the Democrats tried to take that high road for as long as the Bush Presidency possibly allowed, and that same courtesy wasn't honored by the GOP during the Obama years. This bred a lot of saltiness in liberals, and deservedly so, since republicans pulled some serious bull:censored: with blocking Obama's Garland nomination from the Supreme Court, to say nothing of Al Gore conceding that election to W. in the not too distant past. Then you guys went totally off the reservation, and elected a man that by any measure of the office, should have been un-electable. Then you nominated and forced the confirmation of the heavily besieged Kavanaugh instead of appeasing Democrats, and doing the best thing for all involved, by picking a new nominee. This is how you want it? Well, then, you gets it. Liberals can apparently play hardball too. Don't be surprised when you get what you've been asking for all along. Reaping what you sow has always been a thing, has it not? You woke the sleeping tiger, and now the lion and the tiger have to square off to see who's the baddest. Even if neither is bound to leave that cage alive, the fight will proceed to it's natural conclusion. That's kind of where we're at now, and it was probably always destined for this moment in time from the outset, but definitely since the Ken Starr investigation. Both sides can only push back against each other for so long, until it all get's to be too much, and the common ground is destroyed in the battle. That's the point of no return - and we're long past it. Hypocrisy is just one small part of the larger machine. [/QUOTE]
