I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words amounts to a shakedown, so I apologize."

I'm curious. When the Republican base reads these statements, are they in agreement? Do they disagree?
Some people feel Republicans want as many unemployed people as possible, because they think it will get them elected.
I couldn't find what percentage of the unemployed are Republican. What do they feel when they hear this rhetoric?
This is NOT Flame Zone. I'm curious what the Republican base thinks when they hear these opinions. Do they share these views?
Nope. But I'll take gaffes over bad policy any day.
Idiologies are not gaffes. These are policy's in a sense....its what the right are all about.
What I dont understand is, how do unemployed republicans feel about being called bums by their party?
By one asshole in the party dude. Or do you have a link showing the Republican party on mass calling them bums?
Geesh.
Please see above and then come back and say you are sorry. Republican. Geesh.
