"The 5 Worst Things the GOP Has Promised to Do"

So why are these bad things?

Oh, because they are not being spent on total losers with the entitlement mentality that don't want to work for a living and would rather spend their days drinking a beer and smoking their phallic stogies.

 

So the Republicans promise to reduce theft?

You say this is terrible, why?

 

Yes they have but there are progressives in both parties, like Bush II and Obama.

 

Like Reagan as well he was the worst! Actually Bush was at the very least conservative. Lol try as you might you cannot re write the history of the GOP

 

Have all of you conservatives already forgotten Brownback's lesson?

 

From the taxpayers' standpoint, these look like terrific ideas.

Less government leads to less taxation.

 

Gee, if that's the case, I wonder why the people are going to vote in favor of Republicans over Democrats?

 

That entire post is illogical bullcrap.

 

Don't have to. Plenty of progressives in the GOP.

 

It's not about getting what they put in. It's getting more than what they put in at the expense of current taxpayers, who themselves will be looking to get more than they put in later down the road when they get old. This cycle of B.S. is called a Ponzi scheme, it is unsustainable, and it is illegal in every other form in this country. At some point, someone has to get screwed. I'd like for you to map out an economically viable scenario where someone doesn't. And when you do that, go tell the rest of the world, so that we can be let into your amazing secret for a utopia where everyone gets have massive earnings on their taxpaying investments and ensuring that they do indeed get to be coddled from cradle to grave.

It's a strange world you live in where the poor and destitute are the ones who've earned everything, and the rich who've earned nothing. Why don't you show us the way by taking the computer you're using as a soapbox, sell it, and donate the money to the IRS, along with every other dollar you can afford to lose. The poor deserve it a lot more than you, as you have already pointed out, and there's no better way to get your ill-earned money to them than by your local politician(except of course, if they've got an (R) in front of their name, in which case government sucks!).

 

Are you sure about that? And if they are and they are not rich they will surely live to regret their vote, no brag, just Fact.

 

It's the Truth as it stands. But coming from your side I'll take that as a compliment being that it has apparently really struck a nerve.

 

I can end your thread right here, unless, of course, you are suggesting a Republican landslide that gives the GOP a veto-proof majority. President Pen-and-Phone has veto power.

 

The Democratic Party sees this as their avenue to power and control. The fact that you just posted this is proof.

 

Your side made it suck big time let's not forget. Do you know that the "(R)" you speak of stands for RICH. And the (D) stands for DOING MORE FOR THE PEOPLE. Tell you what, when your side, that is much richer than I, goes to sell things to help the poor because they deserve it, as you rightfully say, they will actually be putting their money where their mouth is. Until then, it will be much ado about nothing.

 

What have the Democrats done to alleviate the problems of the Middle Class, minorities and poor? They've shrunk the Middle Class through deals with East Asia and NAFTA that have seen our manual manufacturing jobs go overseas. They keep minorities and the poor in those conditions by perpetuating their welfare and poverty rather than give them opportunities to embrace the American dream. Meanwhile, the fact that they haven't curtailed Big Tax Cuts to the wealthy and continue to subsidize Big Corporation, suggests that they are fine with doing so as long as they can continue to blame it on someone else.

Your deflective rhetoric is wearing thin.

 

What was said is the truth about the matter. But of course if Republicans do take over the Senate, with the devil's help, it is the people in America who will suffer from all the CUTS they plan to do, something you, being on their side do not care about either. People would soon realize the error in their vote and live to regret it for a long time to come. That is why they need to wake up now and smell the coffee before it's too late and they pull the lever for a Republican.

 

I heard an author call into my local morning show this morning and suggest that America is a lot like a nursing home now.

When the adult children of the aging parents are asked what their biggest concerns are, they state "safety". They don't want to have to worry about their parents getting injured, wandering off or being in danger. When the parents are asked, their number one concern is autonomy. They are adults, although a little slower or feebler, but want control of their lives to some extent. The problem resides in safety versus autonomy. The parents lose their autonomy as the nursing home does everything to provide the safety that the adult children pay for.

Doesn't this sound like America, now?

 

Not without a veto-proof majority. The rest is blather.

 

Pisci, talk about deflective rhetoric, yours is for sure the one that takes front row center as far as that's concerned.

Here's the Proud Record of what President Obama and the Democrats have accomplished for Americans.

I strongly suggest you read the following article All the Way Through, from FORBES (it should be your favorite economic source right?), for a better understanding of the situation that you and your significant others like to use as a punching bag against the President and Democrats. Let's just set the record straight here. Oh, and there is Plenty More to give to you but read the following first please if you will.

Since we're talking about economic performance, especially read the Question: "Q- To which President would you compare Obama’s economic performance?"

Economically, Could Obama Be America's Best President?

Both sides are right and both sides are wrong.

We meed a massive retraining program of biblical proportions, followed by tarrifs or something similar to level the playing field and bring mfg jobs back home.

At the same time we need to allow citizens to fail if they are mentally and physically potent (definition of potent to be debated), if they refuse the government limited welfare (say 1 or 2 years unless they join a specific retraining program) after which there will be no more handouts. We need to be gentle and helpful bringing the poor up, yet we must be stern with apathetic abundance.

Not that this will ever happen, we need big ideas, not partisan nonsense.

 

You wish. Pisci, you do realize that not every Republican is going to try to override the president on things don't you? Those who do try are fools as Americans would not have sent them to Washington for that purpose. But that just goes to show that Republicans have just ONE AGENDA -- to come down hard against the President of the United States by hook or by crook as Mitch McConnell has spoken about in news reports already. Never mind that the country needs them to work for them on much more important issues and matters to them, that's not even remotely on the right's agenda but trying to override the president on anything, should they get the chance, certainly is! That speaks volumes about them and is very telling about your party That Voters Need To Now Be Extra Aware Of Before Voting This November! By all means, keep spilling the beans about the right's true purpose for wanting to take the Senate. People are learning about what your true colors are from these discussions.

 

It's just a blogger on Forbes. It even states the opinion is not that of Forbes. Here's a rebuttal:

Oh I'm so sure your idea will create a groundswell of opportunity for the elderly, those retired, the poor, and those who are ill who can no longer work to jump in front of the voting lines this November for the chance to have Republicans implement your convoluted plan.

 

Yeah, and its a good thing that the changing demographics will relegate these guys to the dustbin of American history.

Conservatism is an ideology that rises when humans do not understand reality, and therefore believe that the things they hate manifests without true causes. For instance, instead of seeing that the cause of more people being on some sort of social safety net is due to the republican created free trade, under Bush Sr., instead of addressing what is causing this, they blame it on the victims of globlalized neo feudalism. And they think if they just cut those benefits, that the jobs lost will miraculously appear when these people look for work. This makes the republicans cruel, which of course they are. First they bow to corporations and concoct nafta, and then when the people who lost their jobs are driven to safety nets, the repubs want to cut those off. Looks to me like they just despise the non rich. But they say they are doing this for the good of those people who lost their living wage jobs...LOL.

So, it is no different from me tripping a guy up, and then blaming his fall on him, and then giving him a kick while he is on the ground, while saying I am actually helping him. For this is exactly what the republican, especially the conservative is doing, and they think its great. Hopefully we will relegate them to the dustbin of history faster than the demographics will do it.
