4. Yeah. THe GOP is acting incredibly stupid and is off the deep end.
But the Dems aren't really anything to write home about. Comparing the parties in America is kind of like comparing the C student who does crappy work, skates on most things, and barely gets by (Dems) to the failing student who is absent most days, does absolutely nothing, has several outside issues, and frequently has to be removed from class when he/she does show up. (GOP)
