Admit it USMB GOP, your leadership doesn't care about the Middle Class

[Stephanie]

The GOP plays their voters like a $15 violin

Hi dotty, how does a $15 violin play like?

Wealthy people also buy politicians to tilt the game in their favor. Look at the dozen or so billionaires pouring money into the Mitt Romney campaign. What is they expect to get? Do some research. It's not like they've been quiet about it. And before you go "But but but DEMOCRATS HAVE BILLIONAIRES TOO", forget about the Democrats. What is it Republicans are supporting? Don't be blind. If you can't say what it is, you don't know.

The only thing they hope to get is a free country. Has it ever occurred to you that no everyone has an ulterior motive? Of course not. You're a liberal. You assume everyone is a conniving scumbag just like you.

You haven't really convinced yourself of that, have you? Like Texas billionaire Harold Simmons, who is supporting Mitt because he hopes to get safety regulations overturned so he can increase the size of his nuclear waste dump by a factor of 100.

Increasing it by a factor of 100 might make it as big as a typical gas station. Has it ever occured to you that these so-called "safety regulations" are really just more EPA bullshit intended to shut down the nuclear industry? Of course not, because that would take a brain.

How many do you want me to post. These guys haven't been quiet about what they expect to get back. It's easy to look it up. But should I be vetting your candidate? Shouldn't that be your job?

You haven't posted one yet.

Hint, what did Romney mean when he said less policemen, firemen and teachers?

Simple: we don't need more of them. We need more private businesses.

Come on. I just want to hear you guys say it. You know it's true and we know it's true. Just admit your leadership puts millionaires and billionaires above all other Americans.

You can't hide that corporations are making historic profits. The DOW has doubled. Only demand creates jobs. You know these things to be true, right? At least admit that.

Now, if there is no demand, no jobs will be created. Tax cuts only work for people who have jobs. Admit that too.

So, is there a Republican Plan to get money into the pockets of the Middle Class? In the past, that was done by rebuilding the country. But we spent that money in Iraq, so Republicans say "That's out".

So you guys have no plan. Right. Come on. Either admit it or tell us the "plan".

Does it really matter? I say that because the pattern has long been established. If (or more likely when) the middle class is eventually decimated by conservative policies that favor the wealthy (increasingly wealthy, I should say), conservatives will just find some kind of narrative to blame liberals for the problem, regardless of how farfetched and ridiculous it sounds. If you don't believe that's possible, look how they blamed the housing market collapse on the inner city poor and the CRA of 1977.

All politicians are capable of changing a rational for an argument, but the Democrats don't hold a candle to Republicans when it comes to sheer chutzpa when it comes to fingering imaginary bogeymen.

Man, if you are agreeing with rdean, you seriously need to re-evaluate your position, just sayin'.

Where do you get this crap about Harold Simmons? He has been contributing to Republican campaigns since 1980. His biggest holdings are in the production of titanium oxide. to quote him, the reason he contributes to Republican is as follows:

"Any of these Republicans would make a better president than that socialist, Obama. Obama is the most dangerous American alive ... because he would eliminate free enterprise in this country."

Where has he said anything about contributing to Romney because he want's "safety regulations" overturned?

As usual, when liberal accusations are investigated, they always turn out to be total bullshit.

 

[JoeNormal]

oh brother..first you ask about what Republicans are doing for people, then you go off into this..I won't bother answering anything you ask again

You said: "funny thing, I don't need OR WANT Republicans to make things happen for me, I proudly do all that on my own.."

This implies that you don't want and will presumably never need assistance. I'm hear to tell you that unless you're privately wealthy, that's increasingly unlikely.

What utter horseshit. The vast majority of people never need assistance. Do you know anyone who's ever been on welfare? I don't.

Yeah, I've known some. I used to design assistive devices and lots of people who used them were on welfare. I currently know a widow with three kids and not much in the way of jobs skills. Shit happens.

But short of welfare, I know and know of a lot of people who were blindsided by the economic downturn. They at least need some unemployment benefits.

What they need is a robust and growing economy.

I have never met anyone using government benefits that were not exploiting it. I have spoken to someone that advise me to get on unemployment and simply fill out applications and not accept any offer so that I can maximize the money I get. I have worked with people on food stamps because "it's free why not?".

Oh yes, there are some cases of people in genuine need but the majority is people gaming the system. I do not believe that if food stamps were cut back that people would be dying of starvation in the streets.

8 pages and no cries from the left for less stupidity from the op yet they are all over mine in 2 and the subject matter is basically the same only with the roles reversed.

Interesting

I am middle class so I guess I dont care about myself

Either you can't answer or we take you at your word.

Your question is too stupid to answer so why should I waste my time explaining myself when you are going to believe what you want too..

Man, if you are agreeing with rdean, you seriously need to re-evaluate your position, just sayin'.

Members of both political parties have been corrupted by campaign cash. But the GOP, as a political party, is more firmly in the pocket of the wealthiest Americans, and their legislative actions bear that fact out.

So, whether it's Medicare Part D, or guaranteed cost+ contracts for private companies to provide Iraqi war zone reconstruction and military support, or private mercenary contracts like Blackwater, or the push to privatize social security so Wall St can get their hands on people's retirement money, or GOP efforts to continue cutting taxes for the wealthy even as school teachers are being furloughed, or the trend toward privatizing virtually everything and anything (which is little more than corporate welfare) from schools to prisons, or the GOP hostility toward regulation in general (which, more often than not, tends to protect consumers or average citizens who are in no position to rise up to the challenge of policing corporate behavior), the GOP is showing that people don't matter as much as corporations do. And why should that surprise anyone considering that Romney has said that corporations ARE people. If corporations are people, than they're VIPs, and the rest of us are just plain folks.

With that said, let me say that while I'm not much in favor of overly melodramatic fare, especially when it comes across as hyperbolic, I have noted the corporate ascendency of the last thirty years or so. And, as our country moves ever closer to a reality the bears a striking resemblance to some of those dystopian futuristic novels that were written over 60 years ago, I can't help but ask myself if other people can't see "the writing on the wall" about what tomorrow's America is going to look like if things continue as they are. So, if you've never studied trend line analysis, let me put it to you another way. When the relatively small number of the increasingly powerful corporations-are-people-too crowd's interests come into conflict with the vast majority of the average We-the-people-citizenry, which group do you think is more likely to prevail when the corporate crowd is bankrolling the campaigns of people in both parties and the We-the-people citizenry group of average people is only giving pennies on the dollar (if that) in comparison?

Democrats care so much about the poor they want every American to become one

 

[CrusaderFrank]

In a state where non-living democrat voters outnumber registered Republicans, the Middle Class voted Democrats out of the "Kennedy seat"

I think the parties have staked their claim and the Dems are only for more government and the unions, while republicans are for the rest of us

 

[Listening]

Do you ever get tired of posting talking points?

I just want an answer. Don't you?

Piss off...asshole.

Not only are your assertions wrong, but you have been licking the balls of an Obama doll for three years.

How's that working out for you ?

I enjoy the angst that rderp will feel when the guy he loves to mock, Mitt, kicks the electoral ass of the bumbling incumbent whom rderp wants to give hummers to.

I would be glad to admit it, except they aren't me leaders, and I have been saying all along that all either party cares about is getting reelected. I think that means you are the one that needs to admit something here.

Most of The Middle Class works for small private enterprises. Since 2008, Obama and The Left have made sure to take care of Unions and government and employees first. Unemployment is still high at 8 percent vs. Bush's 5.2 percent. What is Obama's plan for small business should he win? Or, what should it be?
