Man I'm not going to touch on Beck's supporters or nothing but let me just say...

You're arguably every bit as much a part of the problem as the Tea Partiers are, only you're on the opposite side of the divide.

It really wasn't an Us Vs. Them up until the Republican party turned it into one. As it's been said, trying to make peace flat out will not work because then FOX News will use it as more fuel to the fire and it will keep spiraling out of control.

Snake, you yourself even have left the Republican party. You aren't the only one. Thousands have fled that sinking ship.

I'm not going to say that all Republicans are evil but it's worth noting that the only ones with any power pretty much fit the bill perfectly, so maybe it's time to get out while you still can?
