Greedy white Republican dude has to demonize the poor to such an extent, it justifies him turning his back on them. He's created a warped fiction in his head that the poor are his enemies. It's a way for him to justify his hate & greed. In other words, 'The poor deserve it.'

Sorry, but paying Americans the lowest wages possible, Outsourcing their jobs whenever possible, replacing them with Illegal Slave Labor, just isn't a very appealing Platform. You guys are in trouble. Why should Americans be voting for you?
you are a case study of the typical liberal idiot that lies to himself
Just stating what your Platform is. Are you really disputing it? Seriously, why should struggling Americans vote for you?
of course i'm disputing it moron; unless and until you can prove it is the "platform' of anybody, much less of the Right
So what are you disputing? You guys continue to support such behavior and policies. So why should Americans vote for you? Especially American Workers?
we are?
how leftard?
i asked you already how are republicans outsourcing jobs?
are all corporations owned by right-wingers?
Let's work backwards. Do you really think that the poor vote in great numbers? If we get 40% of the eligible voters to the polls, it's thought of as a great turnout. I think this "the poor vote Democrat because of freebies" is a hollow argument.How is being poor "bad behavior"? Is poverty a character flaw?Liberals also believe welfare should be a true hand up and not a hand-out. But you will never get a conservative to say that...
Liberal bashing by the right far outweighs anything liberals do or say...

How is giving people money rewarding bad behavior a "hand up?"
You may believe what you want, but the current execution results in people being stuck in the claws of government assistance.
We pay mothers to have more kids they can't support, we pay drug addicts to keep relapsing, we pay lazy people to not work. we make it harder for them to improve themselves, because the benefits cut off when they make a certain amount of $$.
The whole system is designed to keep the poor poor, and voting democrat.
And do you think the poor are lazy? They are working at jobs paying minimum wage, a wage Conservatives would hate to see raised! Do you think the poor are lazy, or are they poor because the 'job creators' packed up the factories and moved them to Latin America and Asia to avoid paying living wages and cleaning up the mess they make?
WE pay drug addicts who relapse? How about fully funding drug programs to help those addicts clean up once and for all?
And mothers having babies they cannot support? How about making access to women's health centers freer and easier so those poor women have options above and beyond public support?
You blame everything on the poor and accept no responsibility for the actions of Conservatives when you deny abortions, take jobs away from Americans, defund health clinics and ignore the havoc such policies leave behind.
Why do we pay more to women who have more kids they can't afford? Why do we cut back benefits when the poor make more money, but not enough to support themselves? Why do we pay able bodied people to do nothing instead of shipping them off somewhere to work and maybe learn a trade?
"The simplest description of the War on Poverty is that it is a means of making life available for any and all pursuers. It does not try to make men good -- because that is moralizing. It does not try to give men what they want -- because that is catering. It does not try to give men false hopes -- because that is deception. Instead, the War on Poverty tries only to create the conditions by which the good life can be lived -- and that is humanism."
Robert Sargent "Sarge" Shriver, Jr.
Sounds like you would support the War on Poverty...the REAL one, not the false one characterization by conservatives...
Here are some FACTS for you on what the War on Poverty.
When President Kennedy's brother-in law Sargent Shriver accepted President Johnson's challenge and took on the 'War on Poverty' the first thing he discovered was rather startling and disturbing. Half of the Americans living in poverty were children. Another large segment were elderly and another segment were mentally and/or physically disabled. So a HUGE segment of the poor fit the TRUE definition of a dependent. So there is an obligation as a civil society to make sure those real dependents are not trampled on or extinguished.
To address some of the players in your fairy tale, voila! We have an unabashed flaming liberal...Sargent Shriver. But I hate to disappoint you. Sargent Shriver hated welfare and had no intention of creating a handout program. He didn't believe in handouts, he believed in community action, opportunity, responsibility, and empowerment.
The 'War on Poverty' was called the Office of Economic Opportunity. The core principles were opportunity, responsibility, community and empowerment. The program's goal was maximum feasible participation. One of the concepts of empowerment was poor people had a right to one-third of the seats on every local poverty program board. It was a community based program that focused on education as the keys to the city. Programs such as VISTA, Job Corps, Community Action Program, and Head Start were created to increase opportunity for the poor so they could pull themselves out of poverty with a hand UP, not a hand out. Even when Johnson effectively pulled the plug on the War on Poverty to fund the war in Vietnam, Shriver fought on and won. During the Shriver years more Americans got out of poverty than during any similar time in our history. (The Clinton years - employing the same philosophy - were the second best.) Ref
Here is one of the agencies created by the WOP...

Greedy white Republican dude has to demonize the poor to such an extent, it justifies him turning his back on them. He's created a warped fiction in his head that the poor are his enemies. It's a way for him to justify his hate & greed. In other words, 'The poor deserve it.'
It absolves him of any sense of compassion and responsibility. The saddest irony of it is that most Republicans truly do believe they're 'Good Christians.' But they don't follow Jesus' teachings. They've gone over to the dark side.
YAWN
just because a left-wing loser has a narrative to follow; doesnt mean it has a bit of truth to it
you are a case study of the typical liberal idiot that lies to himself
Just stating what your Platform is. Are you really disputing it? Seriously, why should struggling Americans vote for you?
of course i'm disputing it moron; unless and until you can prove it is the "platform' of anybody, much less of the Right

we are?
how leftard?
i asked you already how are republicans outsourcing jobs?
are all corporations owned by right-wingers?
Greedy white Republican dudes have always supported Outsourcing American Jobs. And they've always supported Illegal Slave Labor here at home too. And every white Republican dude i've ever run into, actually boasts about Workers getting lower wages. They see that somehow as a 'Good Thing.' So i feel i've described your Platform accurately.
Conservatives believe........Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime
But what do you do when there are no fish in the pond? Conservatives reply....not my problem
and right there is the Left's message; that there are no fish in the pond
way to give people hope leftard?
(or do you actually BELIEVE there are no fish in the pond?)
pandering Progressive douchebags, just pathetic
Sadly, in our society, many ponds no longer have fish
The wealthy have been able to harvest them and move on while the poor are left to try to eke a living out of those deserted ponds
let me get this straight because i dont want to mistake your position. you are actually saying it is hopeless? that the poor cant get ahead? that minorities or poor of any ethnicity cant get ahead?
Lets look at it this like a conservative
Can SOME poor people still get ahead? Yes they can
Can MOST poor people under these conditions get ahead? No they can't
YOU'RE RIGHT!! for a change
we DO believe most can get ahead
YOU believe most cant; and need pandering by you

You guys have to figure out reasons to hate the poor and defenseless among us. You have to try and rationalize your hate & greed. It's a way of absolving yourselves from turning your backs on them.
And meanwhile, you go on worshipping the Corporate Elite Beast. You guys really should consider coming back from the dark side. Poor Americans sure could use the help.

If you believe most people can get ahead....can you point to 30 million available jobs that pay a living wage?

it isnt the responsibility of the Right to feed your desperate need to not feel full of guilt, to feed your need to think you are above others
to cry your crocodile tears for you
to share your phony outrage
