Republican Nihilism

"What we’ve observed these past two years is a political party that knows nothing but scorched earth tactics, cannot begin to see any merits in the other party’s arguments, refuses to compromise one inch on anything, and has sought from the very beginning to do nothing but destroy the Obama presidency. I see no other coherent message or strategy since 2008. Just opposition to everything, zero support for a president grappling with a recession their own party did much to precipitate, and facing a fiscal crisis the GOP alone made far worse with their spending in the Bush-Cheney years. There is not a scintilla of responsibility for their past; not a sliver of good will for a duly elected president.
Worse, figures like Cantor and McCain actively seek to back foreign governments against the duly elected president of their own country, and seek to repeal the signature policy achievement of Obama’s first two years, universal healthcare."
The Conservatives' inconsistent morality and complete denial in anything they have done that has contributed to the 2008 global collapse is disheartening.

It's draining having to deal with such intellectual delinquents.

Your logic is seriously flawed.

A majority of Americans oppose most of Obama's policies. Therefore, politians who likewise oppose Obama's policies are rewarded at the ballot box when Americans vote for politicians who pledge they will oppose Obama's policies.

There is nothing immoral about that.

If, as you appear to claim, a majority of Americans support Obama's policies, what just happened in the November election?

It is also hilarious to have Andrew Sullivan, after bashing George W. Bush for 10+ years, now whine about Obama receiving similar treatment. Wah Wah Wah.

P.S. It is spelled nihilism.

Thanks for the spellcheck.

Majority of Americans oppose Obama's policies is quite the statement.

When Obama wins in 2012 you can think the same way. A typical conservative would do that.
