The 5 Worst Things the GOP Has Promised to Do

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things look pretty grim for the American people if the Republicans take the Senate during the Midterm elections. Mitch McConnell has already said they are ready to make it much harder for the average American.

They are proposing to make Massive CUTS to programs many of which the elderly and others depend upon. We cannot allow this to happen. We do understand that they want to make these cuts because many on their side of the aisle are rich and with their wealth they do not need important programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and others. But the majority of citizens do need these programs, many who have nothing else to keep them afloat. Yet the G.O.P. doesn't care one iota about that. If they can continue giving tax cuts to the rich they are happy and that appears to be the only thing they are really interested in doing and why they want the Senate.

The majority of Americans should therefore be worried about Republicans taking the Senate in November unless they are wealthy and can afford to take the tremendous hit they will inevitably suffer with the G.O.P. in power.

 

Yeah, because the current Senate has been such a rousing success.

 

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

considering how out of touch the GOP leadership is with mainstream America, the reaction to putting their agenda into action might be somewhat less positive than they expect.

 

Good. Get government the hell out of entitlement programs. I'm sorry if that interrupts the cycle of "offer the people as much free stuff as possible so that they become dependant on my money and thus give me total control of their voting and recycle that taxpayer money right back to my election campaign and political party", but too bad. Government should have no business in redistributing wealth precisely for that reason. The American voter needs to get back to actually voting based on what is best for their country and not what's best for themselves.

We have family. We have friends. We have Charity. We are the most charitable country in the world. And last I checked, we are also adults. God forbid anyone ever treats us that way. "Oh, those poor helpless people! Whatever will they do if we don't give them billions of dollars of deficit-money!" What a joke.

 

The problem is that we have way too many ill informed voter, voters that vote party lines regardless of how much it will negatively affect them, voters that blame the POTUS for problems that the GOP lead Congress has caused or made worse by ignoring while they focus on non-existent conspiracies and last but not least the garden variety redneck ignorant and bigot. It is sad how the gerrymandering and voter surpression are tactics that a self-serving and outdated party has resorted to win elections. The GOP is now pulling out the fearmongering tactic to add to their arsenal of propagnda.

 

That doesn't even begin to cover it! Fully immutable license to RIP OFF consumers worse than now! Fully immutable license to frack, drill, truck, train 'poisons' into the earth in the air and through towns and cities. Stick vaginal probes up women's vaginas should they DARE to want domain over their own bodies (but who cares about that, right?) Privatize for profit education. And rip of college students whose mommies and daddies aren't rich enough to pay their tuition. That's the minimum outcomes!

 

So much irony in this post ^^^

 

Well done.
You're responding exactly how the OP, and the gay blog he linked to wants you to.

Blame everything on the Right, and call names.



Can always count on the low-info voters to do as told.

 

In your poor-thought-out scenario, those who have worked hard all of their life and have contributed great amounts to Social Security, etc. should now be left on the outside looking in. While that money, in your way of thinking and that of your ilk, that they have paid to the government through their taxes should instead be used to provide greater tax cuts to the rich in this country. That is what the Disgusting Thought here actually is. I understand you are perfectly prepared to pay your own way through hospital, medical or clinical bills, emergency needs, and all other needs. But the vast majority of people who are working or have worked are not in that kind of lucrative position to always do so.

The distribution of wealth is being given to the rich constituents of Republicans. The Middle Class, the Elderly, and the Poor get only a very small percentage of what they have paid in during their working years in return. When people reach their golden years and cannot work any longer or are ill and cannot work they need to know that what they put in can now be given back to them because They Have Rightfully EARNED It. End of story.

 

Because the government and central control is never big enough for the left.

 

I noticed that too, lol...

 

Clearly, the Democrat alternative to the eeeeeeeeeeeeevil of fiscal responsibility - bankruptcy - is the wise and humane way to go. We should be spending ALL our money servicing the debt that our "progressive" friends are so willing and eager to accumulate.

Let it be known that we screwed the children "for the children".

 

1. Where does the money come from? Do you think the government can successfully spend almost half of GDP in perpetuity? What about the trillions in unfunded promises that have already been made? What happens when the money runs out and no one wants to lend us more? How do you help "the poor" then? Or will it be okay then because at least everyone will be equal in the eyes of the progressive?

2. Who do you think wrote Dodd-Frank? Banks LOVE the Democrats. Where does all the wall street campaign money go? Democrats. That's because the Democrats are perfectly happy to funnel taxpayer money directly to the banks. What in the world have Democrats done in the last 20 years that has stopped or even slowed the cronyism that exists between government and financial institutions?

3. Democrats are all about shifting burdens. How about we instead REDUCE the burden? How in the world does shoveling money into insurance companies reduce the cost of care? It doesn't! There's only a few ways to reduce cost. You can increase supply. You can reduce demand. Or you can increase competition. Vouchers do the latter. The illusion of someone else paying does none of these. Obamacare does NONE of these. Unless of course you think that rationing care is the same as reducing demand. But death panels are just a figment of some nutty Alaskan's hick imagination, right?

 

You've hit the nail right on the head! That's exactly the way it is and the way the right-wing likes for things to be done and leave out mainstream Americans and minorities out of the equation. Too bad voters don't see these very important things in their quest to vote for a political party that can only turn around and sock it to them by removing what they have worked so hard for and earned, through heavy Republican CUTS to what they are entitled to. They never see that though do they, but in the end when it hits them like a lead balloon and those cuts reach deeply into their pocketbooks they will finally learn the error in their way of voting for a party that continues to throw them under the bus and could give a flying shoot about them.

 

I think we are willing to take that chance considering what we have had to put up with for the last 6 years.

 

For all of your rhetoric, what it all boils down to is that your side would rather give Big Tax Cuts to the richest Americans while leaving the Middle Class, minorities, and the poor at a great disadvantage. That is what cannot be sustained by the American system. People who pay their taxes do not deserve for their money to go for pork barrel projects by Congressional elected folks rather than back to them in their time of need. Any other scenario would not make sense and would only place a great burden on the pocketbook of the majority of Americans when Republicans propose CUTS to programs Americans most certainly deserve to have that only Democrats are cognizant of.

The myth that people are dependent on government and that Democrats only want to give programs to the poor are lies perpetrated by those who know better but who would want to pull the wool over the eyes of the public so that they can continue to offer tax cuts to the rich with all of that money they have control over. People should see it for what it is that the Republicans are trying to do and WILL DO should you elect them into the majority. But in the end, the voters will have no one else to blame but themselves when they start to see their Social Security checks diminish or be taken away altogether, their Medicare card ripped in half in favor of stupid programs that will not help the person in need, and Medicaid done away with because rich Republicans want to use that money designed for you to instead give to their wealthy constituents.

 

Really. It's been tough digging out from the mess that was left to the Dems when they moved into the White House, wasn't it? Even worse than that, is that Republicans in Congress, particularly the Senate, were doing everything in their power to retard that recovery. I'm sure glad we agree on this.

 

"the garden variety redneck ignorant and bigot"?

Perhaps, a brilliant yuppie such as yourself should learn how to construct a sentence before you impugn the intelligence of country folk?

And here's another thing for you to consider, comrade: the majority of "the garden variety redneck ignorant and bigot" in my neck of the woods happen to be African-Americans who vote Democrat. That was a truly brilliant and informed post on your part, and not the least bit bigoted, either.

 

You evidently are in a much better financial shape than the majority of Americans. So, take that chance if you will. But for all others who are not financially well off it will be a Grave Mistake to vote Republican as you will surely live to regret that move for a long, long time to come.

 

Face it, your theories don't work. You talk about burdens and rich and poor, but you have no idea how to solve the problem. You're an advocate for thieves that do nothing more than punish success and reward failure. Unwilling to face this fact, all you can do is wage class warfare and hope to God the people in the slums you claim to care for (while out of the other side of your mouth you slander as ignorant and vile) never figure out your shell game.

The only thing that will save America are the same principles that it was founded on; a smaller, leaner, less intrusive government that promotes the welfare of society, rather than the addled self involved progressive promise of being able to provide that welfare. What America needs is a government for people, not a government for politicians and campaign funds. You know, the things that made America great in the first place.

How much money did Obama make on his last little trip 'round the 58 states while our beloved democracy burns?

Are you proud?

 

Yet Republicans Presidents over last 30 years have expanded government the most. Gee the small government GOP never happens, and some how tax cuts for the rich and more spending seems to happen, To hear your average righty tell it Reagan, Bush1 and bush 2 never added to the debt.

 

And to hear your average lefty try and use government spending as a negative is like hearing the fox complain about large holes in the hen house.

 

So I think you should list what Obama has done to damage America. Because odds are it hasn't but don't let that stop you.

 

It's a liberal gay/opinion from a liberal/gay blog, stating the left's talking points. Shocker from this OP, yes ?

You know... "unbiased".

But you're absolutely right...
It "doesn't even begin to cover"... reality.
