New Rules, people:

[Atticus]

There are NO Republicans who are entitled to the slightest respect or deference.

There are NO Republicans whose "word" can be trusted.

Assume everything said by ANY Republican is a lie unless there is overwhelming and clear corroboration, in which case they may have told a convenient truth.

Support ANY Democrat against ANY Republican, PERIOD! Internal party squabbles MUST wait until we have saved our nation from the monsters assailing it. Bipartisanship my ass!l

Contribute your money, your time, your passion. March. Protest. Write letters to the editor. Sit in. Email.

RESIST!

[democratisphere]

1. Agreed.

The redumbliCON party is doing a great job of self-destructing!

[joshdawg]

4. as well as the destruction of the country.

[dembotoz]

2. Preach it

[hlthe2b]

3. well, this might be the exception...

[BobTheSubgenius]

7. Absolutely.

From what I've heard and read, RM has more credibility than the collective entire upper echelons of his party and, of course, the WH.

There must be a few others on the second tier just below him, but I'm hard pressed to name any.

22. I know Steve Schmidt was a "typical" republican when he worked for W.

But lately he has begun telling some important truths.

Link to tweet

I'm not trying to excuse his previous actions, but I think he's one of a few republicans who are horrified by what is happening to their party.

[LiberalFighter]

23. Agreed! There are some Republicans with integrity.

I would go with Nicole Wallace too.

Absolutely none from Indiana or Wisconsin though.

[MontanaMama]

25. You beat me to it.

Nicole Wallace has been very vocal in her criticism of the right.

[notdarkyet]

15. Looking out for a hero

[treestar]

6. No they don't

They don't abuse the power like that.

[treestar]

10. They do not do it to the extreme the Republicans do

The Republicans started that with Obama; that was when it started that nothing would pass in the Senate without filibuster proof 60 votes.

[uponit7771]

8. false equivalency at best, dems don't put on campaigns to discredit parts of the government

[KY_EnviroGuy]

14. It's not nonsense talk to speak of the systemic corruption of the GOP.

And yes, that corruption and its extent is complicated and fed daily by well-funded right-wing media, including massive support from Australia and Russia that's brainwashed about a third of our populace. We're fighting a lot of headwind.

And no, on average Dems do not screw the general public when in control of government. We get good things done.

We do however agree that GOTV efforts are very important - even where the GOP has gerrymandered districts beyond all hope.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Been feeling this way for years...

[lark]

13. There is no R worth voting for EVER.

They have given up being a national political party and have become soley pro oligarch and Russia and anti-America and it's people. They are traitors out to destroy us and our constitution in favor of their version of sharia law and serfdom for everyone who is not rich. They even destroyed the Internet to prevent small start-ups being able to take hold and to make sure the real news gets hidden from us. I just hope enough repugs will be represented by companies this hurts and they too will vote against this in congress, although I have no faith in them ever doing the right thing.

[msdogi]

16. Agreed

I have purged anyone who still claims loyalty to that party and tolerance for what it has shown itself to be.

[Nitram]

17. The tax "deal" confirms the truth of every word of you post.

RESIST!

[smirkymonkey]

18. Hear, Hear!

[Butterflylady]

19. I've been saying that for years.

They're only in politics for power and money. They have no intention of ever helping the citizens of this country. Only themselves.

[rladdi2]

20. WAKE UP AMERICA, DO IT QUICKLY AS

Donald Trump, his cabinet and administration is work quickly to destroy democracy. How: purging employees in the govt., purging words from the EPA and now CDC. The EPA has purged all words dealing with climate change. It has been purged. Donald is pitting the local law enforcement agencies against the FBI. Currently, they work closely on criminal events. Trumps admires only those leaders who have destroyed Democracy in their countries. Our national parks and monuments are being turned over to mining, lumber and oil industries. National park fees have increased. Roads are being built in Alaska over frozen tundra, oil will be drilled soon in virgin lands of Alaska. Does anyone actually view and listen to this un-American leader? The Republicans are using him to gain their control of the USA also. Voters rights will be lost before 2018, Trump has not addressed the Russian interference in the 2016 election saying it FAKE NEWS. Well America, the 2018 elections could be rigged even worst with Putin and Russia help. It is crisis time in America and people tend to ignore all the Trump undermining of the Constitution and freedom of the press. WAKE UP AMERICA
