Is it just me or are Republicans just really really bad for the country?

I've been thinking about this for the past month given the rather high amount of drama going on in Washington.

It's totally obvious that Sara Palin is absolutely unfit to be vice president or let alone even use a computer without adult supervision. With that said, isn't it stunning to see how she was chosen by the republican party / McCain to be the next-VP? It just shows a massive lapse in judgement and really poor decision making by the GOP just in general. Not to mention the complete a total disaster Bush left the state of the country in.

Now, we have the healthcare debate and the Republicans are spewing out some of the most vile and outright lies - death panels. Plus, they're still continuing to spread a outright lie even after Obama explicitly discussed it!

In the beginning of the healthcare summit Republican Minority Whip Eric Cantor comments that these healthcare abuses by the insurance companies are merely "alleged", during it you have John Boehner outright lying about funding of abortions only to have Pelsoi correct him and plus you've got McCain resorting to talking points only to be aggressively smacked down by Obama. Which I thought was awesome to see Obama's experience as a lawyer come out but sad to see someone like McCain whom was largely respected by Democrats/Liberals but go off to the deep end and play politics at the healthcare debate.

Now, I know you can tell me Democrats did this and this but seriously Republicans are just really terrible, and their sucky-ness can't even be compared to the Democrats as they're not even on the same scale. I'd also like to say for the Republicans reading this, I don't find the Democrats that appealing but goddamn with the Republicans around they sure as hell look a whole lot better.

EDIT - So, what do you think will happen in the next decade? Personally, I'm predicting Obama wins in '12 relatively easy, the only question is how much of a fight can the Republicans put up or how much legislation will they be able to block? If the TeaParty gets off it's feet and actually becomes a real movement instead of a bunch angry-old-white people we might have something.

Extremists are bad for the country. Nothing wrong with liberals or democrats, until they're so far to one side that they no longer think their shit stinks. Nothing wrong with conservatives or republicans, until they turn into theocrats or neoconservatives.

If you could weed the extremists out of both parties (even if you have to give them their own parties to do it) I think what's left would once again be somewhat viable.

Democracy, voting, women right all at some point where "extreme" ideas.

The Republicans, extreme or not should seriously sit down but they won't even do they when America has largely told to stfu.

I don't have a party...I'm opposed to them. But yes, all existing parties suck (especially the big two).

So, basically you used to be fan but now you've join the "Bah! Everyone sucks!" club.

Congratulations, you've taken the first step to becoming a Democrat. Errr... I mean "independent".

Seriously, and shit like this is even more evidence of how terrible Republicans/Conservatives are and how extreme they've gone.

Most of the so called "Republicans/Conservatives" I've talked to are completely retarded and are clearly incapable of having a debate. Last week I was talking to one of my old co-workers and he mentioned how Obama doing horrible in the polls and I immediately showed him a brand-new poll show that Obama actually has a edge over Republicans.

Does he say was wrong or even acknowledge it? No, he points out it's a New York Times Article therefore it must be wrong despite the article is just citing and repeating a poll from Gallup/Pew Research/Etc. Then he start calling me a "Lib", like it's an insult or something? Any conservative online you talked to is incapable of having a discussion and 99% of the jumps to spamming "LIB LIB LIB".

MotF Bane and other Conservatives, seriously keep that shit up. I'm sure it'll keep winning you more and more elections.

Hahahahaha, there we go. Read the thread, troll, and assuming you graduated high school, it should all fit right in.
