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

Opinions do count. Especially when they are the product of first having been well researched as from what is shown in the charts, graphs, and other data that was presented that I'm sure Forbes would not have allowed from just anyone at any rate if it had not been truthful as I'm sure they have proofreaders, statisticians, analysts, etc. who check things out before publication in order to maintain a top-notched publication and one not left to ridicule.

 

Very well said! It literally speaks volumes about the cruelty of the Republican Party on those who are not as well-off as they are. Thank you for your thoughtful posting that really hits the nail on the head with information that should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

 

While I do really enjoy your analysis of my ideas, I would like to point out that elderly and retired would count as my earlier provision of "unable".

As for the poor, well thats the whole point of the program.

My question to you is, why are you ok with people doing completely nothing productive?

I see you are one of the ridiculously ignorant hyper partisans of the country, congrats.

 

More liberal hysteria and fear mongering. Funny how zero evidence to support the OP has been offered.

 

I had MORE of my son's college tuition covered, until the new health insurance rate increases caused by the ACA jacked up our family's insurance costs by 48%, to the tune of an additional $4600 this year. For this "benefit", my family now receives an additional "free" women's wellness visit per year, saving me a $35.00 copay on that. In addition, our office visit copays decreased by $10. Those are the only tangible benefits we received for our additional cost of $4600 per year.......but we also received a higher deductible and OOP max per person and per family, plus less of our prescription drugs are covered on the list, and we are now charged for lab costs that we weren't before. So far, it's cost us over $5000 more this year that COULD have gone to cover more of our son's educational expenses. Talk about ripping off consumers. We're SO happy, NOT.

 

They'll get it when the Democrats are kicked to the curb 'en mass November 4th.

 

I'll enjoy watching you disappear on November 5th lol

 

Not at all. America is fractured into factions by sociopathic liberals who wish to manipulate people into granting them greater power. These fractures along racial lines, sexual lines, age lines, and income brackets are used as levers and wedges to pit people against each other so that the liberals can swoop in with platitudes and specious solutions to manufactured problems. Everything is superficial. Opinions are based on an instantaneous decision; a reaction. Criminals are shot because of their skin color. The poor are poor because of rich people Women make less money than men because glass ceiling. Children are failing because of underfunded schools. Does anyone take the time to really examine these claims?

When you're in an argument about welfare, do you think about what poverty is, and what if anything the government can or should do to address it? What have we done in the past? What has worked? Has anything we have done actually reduced poverty? No of course not. The liberals simply point to all the money they toss at the problem, and then they point to all the money they accuse Republicans of taking away, and demand we toss even more money. Before anyone can actually take a closer look to see what the money we're currently spending is actually being used for we are distracted with some new outrage.

Powerline had an interesting observation about liberalism yesterday that illustrates this well. Whatever happened to Boko Haram and the 200 girls snatched from their boarding school? What did the liberals do about the problem? They tweeted fiercely. How did that work? Well, it served it's purpose, but it was a typical liberal solution. It was hollow. An empty gesture to make it seem like they cared, and that they were doing something, but in reality it was useless.

John @ Powerline puts it this way:

For years, the liberals have been pretending to do something, and blaming their failures on others. So far it's worked for them. I don't think they can keep playing that card, because unlike liberals, I don't think the majority of Americans are idiots.

 

He won't, just re-invent himself for some new pain in the ass.

 

Really?

Do I need to explain to you that idealism, which is the core of liberal thought, is by definition a vision of a fictional world that they wish to implement?

You're going to tell me that conservatives don't understand reality?

Thats got to be the funniest thing I've read all day.

 

Like I stated before. Pure blather. You are so worried that the Republicans are going to over ride everything Obama has worked so hard to destroy that you seriously think that the GOP will win a veto-proof majority and be able to push whatever they want past this President?

Keep up your talking points, however. It's entertaining.

 

Not to worry -- Obama will veto ;~)

 

Talk about advocating for thieves, what party is the one that advocates for giving greater tax breaks to the rich in this country out of the people's money? It is not the Democratic Party. And about punishing success and rewarding failure? That again sounds like the scoundrel factions within your own party that love to reward a person who is down and out by keeping them down and out in their time of need. While the Democrats will come to their aid and help them get back on their feet so that those who are young, healthy, and able can get back to work. Your side will only criticize them and make them feel like second-class citizens and not offer one bread crumb to them during the interim while they are experiencing their darkest hours.

Since you're the one who speaks the loudest about "blather" you sure know how to use it well don't you. And the " .... smaller, leaner, less intrusive government ...." is the greatest example of Republican hyperbole that anyone has ever heard. Your principles are what in effect bring this country down. The people are not interested in those things. When it finally hits them hard that they have lost their job through no fault of their own or through illness and their family is hungry and sick and they have nowhere else to turn during the interim, they want nothing less than a government and a president who can truly help them in their time of need when they need the greatest help. If they turned things over to your party they would literally be left naked in the middle of the street holding their front with one hand and their rear with the other, let's face it.

Oh as if your Republican presidents have never gone on "little trips" to raise money while our democracy burned because of course they have. The question should be: Are YOU proud of that?

You should be thanking president Obama for the many Success stories he has had since he became president and the many things he has done for this country, many of which you and your side sure do enjoy but conveniently choose to overlook to give him credit for. For one thing, he has never been embroiled in a scandal about him unlike others. He has worked very hard to accomplish a lot for the American people and has an Excellent Track Record on getting things done that help his fellow Americans of which you are one.

 

How about sunsetting FEMA?

 

Wait, who's money is it? I advocate allowing individuals to keep more of their own money, to use as they see fit, rather than how greedy self involved politicians see fit. It's not your money. It's theirs.

Your rhetoric is easily belied by the fact that your efforts don't work. Democrats don't lift people out of poverty. Democrats don't engineer equality. Want to see the centers for inequality and greed in America? Look at San Francisco. Look at Detroit. Look at Providence, and DC. These aren't conservative cities, Chairman. These are cities with a firmly entrenched government that saps the life out of the ability to climb out of the footprint of the government Leviathan.

What in the world are on you on about? Do you think that the only benevolent force in this world is government? If you see someone laying naked in the street do you plan on leaving them there, confident that someone else will take care of the problem? Is that what I should expect of a liberal? Conservatives aren't this alien monsters you paint them to be. They have different solutions to the problems you perceive. They are solutions that WORK, and not just solutions that let people feel like they are helping. Conservatives don't demand other people take action to solve a problem. Conservatives take personal responsibility to solve it. If you see a problem in this world and you think it needs to be addressed, then get off your butt and do something about it. Don't just complain that rich people should be handling it.

I'm the one arguing that they should have less power. Do you think that's because I'm proud of any of them?

Never been embroiled in a scandal? I'm clearly speaking to someone who's deeply entrenched in a fantasy land. This guy goes through scandals faster than Bill Clinton goes through women.

 

Taxcutter says:
Get it right, dude. Should read:"...advocates for giving greater tax breaks to every taxpayer in this country..."
