Any Party that would drive America to the brink of ruin then try to pin the blame on the successor instead of offering to help repair the damage (the Republican Party has decided to do everything to extend the misery and is hoping that will get them back in). I call that a forfeiture of responsibility/leadership and I don't think the GOP will do anything in the future to help the common man. The Republican Party is no longer worthy of the trust of the American People.

Facing extinction: The "responsible Republican"

Warnings about right-wing extremism from Michael Gerson and ousted Bob Inglis are too little -- and much too late

What defines a "responsible" Republican in the era of Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle and Rand Paul?

Ask Bob Inglis, soon to depart from Congress after six terms as a Republican representative from South Carolina. Having suffered a landslide defeat in a primary this year -- largely because he challenged the extremism of the far right and refused to pander to the "birthers" in his district -- Inglis is now speaking out about the direction of his party.

South Carolina congressional candidate Bob Inglis speaks to the media after his loss in the runoff election to Trey Gowdy on June 22.

Or maybe is was sent packing by concerned voters who felt he wasn't representing them.

Any Party that would drive America to the brink of ruin and continute to try to pin the blame on their predecessor, without even acknowledging that they controlled both houses of Congress and instead do everything they can to make things worse (the Democrat Party has decided to do everything they can to ensure they buy as many votes as they can using taxpayer money ).

So you are saying the left should quit trying to blame everything on the right and put their energy into fixing things. Wow, for once I agree.
