[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2653194, member: 27417"] Even though I have zero love for the Republican party, the party that I used to love and still am registered as, I hope a Republican wins the White House in two years. The election of Obama was a watershed event in the history of the US, it marked the end of compromise. The two parties have ceased working together. The unprecedented obstructionism of the right has irrecoverably damaged the country (before you fire up the keyboard to shoot off a retort, don't bother, arguing this point would be like arguing the earth is flat). Now, politicians don't go back to their constituents and say, this is what I've done for you, they go back and say, this is what I stopped them from doing to you. With a Republican President, we can at least get something done. Although I have no doubt the Democrats will follow the Republican's example and obstruct the best they can. There is one man that takes most of the blame. Mitch McConnell. A politician that is the antithesis of a true conservative. He's a life-long politician. Despite that he's amassed a net-worth north of $20 million. He divorced his first wife, the mother of his 3 children, to marry a woman, a very, very wealthy woman, 11 years his junior. In 2008, after 44 years of unremarkable public service, and facing the prospect of fading into oblivion, he found his life's calling, obstructionism. He clearly does not care about the country. He clearly only cares about his legacy. And the country will suffer for years because of his ambition. [/QUOTE]
