Yes and the Republicans are deserving of the criticism for their choices. They actually thought that McCain and Palin was a better choice than Romney in 2008. The Republicans in Congress, Speaker Boehner and the Tea Party, Paul Ryan with his kill Medicare bill and the Grover Norquist group have damaged the Re-publican's reputation beyond repair but their section of bad candidates have put the nail in the coffin.
The Republicans should be embarrassed by their party becoming a national joke but instead of giving it a blood transfusion they let it bleed. For example, Karl Rove's rant about Clint Eastwood's powerful super bowl video. Someone should tell Karl that the best way for America to work is to put the people back to work.
People want jobs not unemployment or food stamps like Newt and Mitt claim. It seems they want America to fail just to win the election. Rest in Peace GOP.
Ignorant liberal sheeple have taken to calling any and all of the opposition "laughable," "clownish," etc. It's an elementary exercise in degradation that helps liberals to feel knowledgable and in control. Might I suggest varying your reading materials? Maybe attempt to look at other viewpoints besides the liberal/socialist ones.
Unless, that is, you wish to remain ignorant of the entire realm of possibilities.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
