Was Bill Maher correct when he said that when the Repubs talk about "common ground", they are talking about the ground they are presently standing on? They never give an inch on anything?

All this talk about civility is coming from the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party.

Is it the right thing to do?

Because when you give up ground to a bully, they are never satisfied. They always are looking for more.

As Bill Maher said, it is the Republicans that are never willing to compromise an inch on guns and magazines and automatic weapons. Wouldn't it be the patriotic thing to offer healthcare to all our people? Isn't it the Repubs that defend the oil companies and Big Business, generally speaking? Wasn't it the Republicans that doubled our debt and drove our economy into the ditch under George W Bush? Isn't it the Republican Party that refuses to raise taxes on anyone, ever, no matter how much it may be needed? Rather than being all "civil" about it, shouldn't the Democrats be just as up front about it as Bill Maher?

Or is that too "uncivil"?

Yep Alan "The Republicans want you to die" Grayson is the model of civility.

The Repukes count on Democrats to adhere to a bunch of outdated rules of civility, and when we do, we get our asses served to us on a platter. Over and over and over again. In some respects, life never evolves beyond a 5th-grade school yard level: bullies prey on those they perceive to be weak, until the weaklings fight back. It's regrettable, but that's exactly how things are. I'm sick to death of this situation, and I want to be part of changing it, with as much force as is necessary.....

17. Perhaps.
   
But, if the Democrats tell the American people just how screwed we are in this country because so many of THEM are retarded and keep voting for Republicans, then the Democrats are told they are too mean.

When Republicans vote against their own best interests for 25 years, there is no way for Democrats to make a better pitch to those inbreds to win their votes.

Good handle you picked, since you spout hogwash.

I remember 8 years of liberal civility.  No thank you.

Hey if you butttrangers on the left want to be more uncivil then go ahead. By all means do something so stupid that you might not live long enough to regret when someone defends themselves .

[AllosaursRus]

I'd swear this was a mole, but kentuckCockSucker is well known!

[Mike B the Cajun]

The terms "civility" and "Democrat Party" should never appear in hte same sentence, as the are mutually exclusive...   

[The Hollywood NeoCon]

I hereby promise to all libtards that when the investment bank that handles my retirement funds forecloses on the shitholes you call houses and you find your miserable asses living in cardboard boxes underneath the LA Freeway system, I'll be exceedingly civil.

I won't give you so much as a ****ing dime, but neither will I point and laugh at you, scream at you to take your filthy mitts off my Porsche, or get drunk and piss on your box in the middle of the night.

You have my word.

[Linda]

The title alone cracked me up, I laughed the whole way through this thread, do they honestly believe they have been civil at any time in the last few decades?

FIFY. Now it's truthful.

It's Bill Maher.  He's a dimwit.  Who cares what he says except other dimwits?  That answer it for you, bluegrass primitive?
