I'm not saying republicans are corrupt. Democrats are corrupt. I can work with corrupt. Republicans are crazy and dangerous. Keep fiddling while Rome burns. Hopefully no one will be aggressive to you...but then you never really had to worry about that did you?

Look at your posts in this thread. Then ask yourself who the "crazy" one is. Hint: it isn't the Republicans.

Why do you make that assumption about me? I get your gripe with the GOP. We all do. But your posts don't have much depth or add anything new to the discussion.

  My posts are the discussion. Everyone keeps saying that they don't like party politics. I'm saying that, like it or not, if you want to do something about mass surveillance you will have to do something in the Democratic party, because the Republican positions on a host of other issues will be antithetical to some other position that you hold dear. Want to support NASA? They don't. Think homosexuals should be able to marry? They don't. Think that life evolved on earth? They don't. What I meant by the last line of my comment, is that the Republicans are willing to do some really bad stuff to the least powerful among us in service of their ideals. It isn't going to effect you and me. It's going to effect the people that clean my building. There are more issues on the table than mass surveillance. If you ally with the Republicans on this issue you empower them on those issues. We need strategies to break the Republican party, that can only be done by a massive coordinated defeat and then causing irreparable fissures between their coalitions.
