Why are we letting Tea Party wing nuts from rural districts hold the whole country hostage? They only represent 18% of the population so why does the GOP let them get pushed around by these political suicice bombers? I don't understand what is going on. How can Tea party rednecks have more power than mainstream republicians? It is beyond me.
Aren't you capable of writing anything without insults? Do you not realize how foolish your posts sound because of your endless derogatory comments?
Here's what you could have said:

Really, you're the one who sounds like a wing-nut. Didn't anyone ever teach you manners? You do your party more harm than good by being so infantile in your posts. Your spelling needs work as well.

it is hard to maintain civility if there is no perception of civility.

Do it anyway. Just because the other side is being less than civil doesn't make it more right for your side to be. The lack of civility in political discourse here in this country is one of the main reasons that it's really hard for two sides to actually come together on anything.
considering all the derogratory comments certian conservatives on this site make about liberals: comparing liberals to communists, fascist's, dictators, and etc; it is hard to maintain civility if there is no perception of civility.
You must have got up on the wrong side of the bed. Given how those T's in the House are behaving, and the poll support they receive, calling them wing-nuts is being generous in my mind. I have some other stronger words that fit much more than wing-nut.
So sinking to their level is the answer? Now you know why our country is in the state it is. Our politicians represent the people. The people are represented by your post. Your post sounds as if a elementary school child wrote.

I didn't say you have been. What I'm saying is that your post exemplifies the issues our politicians and country as a whole have. Name calling and mud slinging are the norm now.i was not advocating anything of the sort.
i was just saying it is hard for me to maintain being civil when i encounter extreme amounts of hostility.
and just for the record have i ever been insulting or uncivil toward you?

So, in your opinion, the name calling and mud slinging have to occur?and have the naive view that it does not have to be this way.

as long as the final deal is made at the end of the day, then name calling and mud-slinging would just be partisan banter.
That, and our politicians constant need to bloviate. It's ridiculous when they get up and rant and rave "The parks are closed! AHHHH! Suzy isn't getting a flu shot! AHHH!" I'm sitting here thinking "Yeah dude, the last 3 idiots before you said that......next!"But we're not getting those final deals at the end of the day as much as we should, and I think the lack of political civility in this country is at least part of that. Obviously it'll never go away, but I think working to lessen it would be beneficial.
Have you completely missed my point? Whose words leave a greater impression, civility or hysteria? If all you want to see here is an insult board, be my guest. I gave the OP some good advice. He can use it as he sees fit.
I'm being helpful, not grumpy.

Fight fire with fire is what I have to say about it. Some times you have to hit the bully in the nose! Especcially these loud talking crybabies
