The bigger picture here is that the Republicans have no policy position

Shared by John Thompson from a poster in PBS News Hour blog, by the screen name of apostasyusa. It pretty much sums up the way I feel about what the Democratic party stands for.
"Republicans voters are exhausting types of people. They can't take credit for anything, so they take responsibility for nothing. They just keep doubling down on the same nonsense. Republican leaders don’t have a single thing to show their increasingly crazy constituency. For all the years of chastising government and Democrats. For all the anger, hate and confusion spewed by Republicans has only resulted in a hateful, angry and confused Republican base.
See the bigger picture here is that the Republicans have no policy positions to offer other the tired rhetoric that, "tax cuts and deregulation" are the answer to the problems with our country. It's obvious by now that cutting taxes for the rich did not create jobs and the war in Iraq was a huge unnecessary burden on the US taxpayer. There’s a huge chunk of the national debt right there. The cost of the war in Iraq alone could have funded Social Security for 75 years!
Hating gay folks and immigrants isn’t going to help anyone. People argue about presidential administrations incessantly, but Republicans set a new standard during the last puppet they installed in the White House. Republican failures are acknowledged, massive and easy-to-understand. Two failed wars (one actually started in error), a crashed economy caused by unregulated fraud, tax cuts for the rich, and callous indifference to natural disaster. Before the GOP gets national office they need to make a convincing case that they're on meds and their critical thinking has been restored. “Fake to the core” and “eager sellout” are not Party platforms.
Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither.
who fights for higher wages? who fights cuts to programs that help the poor survive? who fights for education grants? who fights for equal pay for women? who fights for consumer protections and regulations? who fights for the rights of the gay community? who fights for the rights of women? who fights to protect our environment?
