Is republicanism nothing but flowery speeches, negativity, and the promotion of liberal stereotypes?

[Billy000]

It seems like that's all republican officials have to offer. They give flowery speeches with words like "freedom", "constitution", and "free market" repeated over and over until the tea baggers cream themselves.

From there they bitch and whine about Obama, socialism, and ObamaCare.

Where is the substance? Where is the specific planning they have for the country to better it? They go on and on about creating jobs, but they never come up with specific policies to do it. When they finally do make it to office they cut taxes for the wealthy and nothing happens except for more national debt.

Once again I ask, WHY vote republican? Give me specific reasons why i should vote republican.

They have drafted and introduced many jobs bills to the Senate only to have them tabled by Reid. Stop with your ignorance and educate yourself.

Out of the 30 jobs bills the House has passed only one made it through the Senate and that was the SKILLS Act.

Name the bills. What were they?

I'm not going to name each individual bill. I don't have the time. But suffice it to say that hundreds of bills that passed the House was ignored by the Reid and the Senate.

Yes the Senate is ignoring hundreds of bills passed by the GOP House. But it 8217 s always that way. - The Washington Post

Just name one and describe it. Why was it a good bill?

 

[Billy000]

What are some specific republican policies that help the country as a whole besides tax cuts?

Why don't you post your party's platform here...let's deconstruct it point by point and talk about "meaningless platitudes" and "flowery speeches"...LMAO...

I asked you first. Just answer the question. This shouldn't be hard. If you do, I'll tell you why it's better to vote dem right afterwards even though you should be an adult and make your own thread for it.

I'm smart enough and old enough to know that neither party is any different and no matter who is in office.... "D" or "R"...nothing changes.
Government grows bigger, more expensive, more infiltrated, more corrupt and more dysfunctional...yes..even when "your" vastly superior party is in office, too, little partisan.

When you grow up and have lived and gained some life experience, you'll begin to notice these things, too.
Until then, little partisan, keep dancing when "your" party pulls the strings. They keep you occupied squabbling and arguing for them while behind your back they continue to do the same things the other party does.

Go ahead and post you party platform..Let's look it over?

I'll agree democrats can be useless and spend like republicans but they do have policies that work.

Extending unemployment benefits stimulates economic demand. Consumer spending is down.

Raising the minimum wage to 10.10 would give 16.5 million people a wage they can live off of.

Job training programs instituted for community colleges.

Marriage equality

Equal pay for women

At 10.10 an hour a family of four would still be under the poverty threshold.

Yeah no shit. Do you really think he would get away with a wage that's higher?

No but as long as your dreaming you may as well dream big enough to elevate everyone out of poverty.

But hey, its your dream!

So essentially it's all deregulation and getting rid of taxes. News flash: deregulation will do very little to stimulate economic growth. The investment class is doing better than ever. You want to improve the economy? Stimulate the middle class. I don't see any of that.

Getting rid of harmful and idiotic regs never helps the middle class? Moron.

Regulations are necessary. Mitt Romney himself would tell you that. Again, the investment class is thriving. Republicans won't do jack shit for this country.

So essentially it's all deregulation and getting rid of taxes. News flash: deregulation will do very little to stimulate economic growth. The investment class is doing better than ever. You want to improve the economy? Stimulate the middle class. I don't see any of that.

News flash: deregulation will do very little to stimulate economic growth.

Right, because regulations are cost free. Idjit.

You want to improve the economy? Stimulate the middle class.

Getting rid of harmful and idiotic regs never helps the middle class? Moron.

The great Kansas Tea Party disaster:

The Great Kansas Tea Party Disaster Rolling Stone

"(Gov.) Brownback himself went around the country telling anyone who'd listen that Kansas could be seen as a sort of test case, in which unfettered libertarian economic policy could be held up and compared right alongside the socialistic overreach of the Obama administration, and may the best theory of government win. "We'll see how it works," he bragged on Morning Joe in 2012. "We'll have a real live experiment."


That word, "experiment," has come to haunt Brownback as the data rolls in. The governor promised his "pro-growth tax policy" would act "like a shot of adrenaline in the heart of the Kansas economy," but, instead, state revenues plummeted by nearly $700 million in a single fiscal year, both Moody's and Standard & Poor's downgraded the state's credit rating, and job growth sagged behind all four of Kansas' neighbors. Brownback wound up nixing a planned sales-tax cut to make up for some of the shortfall, but not before he'd enacted what his opponents call the largest cuts in education spending in the history of Kansas.
Brownback hardly stands alone among the class of Republican governors who managed to get themselves elected four years ago as part of the anti-Obama Tea Party wave by peddling musty supply-side fallacies. In Ohio, Gov. John Kasich – whose press releases claim he's wrought an "Ohio Miracle" – has presided over a shrinking economy, this past July being the 21st consecutive month in which the state's job growth has lagged behind the national average. In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker, whose union-busting inadvertently helped kick off the Occupy movement, cut taxes by roughly $2 billion – yet his promise to create 250,000 new private-sector jobs during his first term has fallen about 150,000 jobs short, and forecasters expect the state to face a $1.8 billion budgetary shortfall by mid-2017. A recent analysis by the Detroit Free Press, meanwhile, laid out how the tax policies of Gov. Rick Snyder, a wealthy entrepreneur who campaigned in Michigan as a nerdy technocrat, have resulted in businesses paying less ($1.7 billion less per year, to be exact), individuals paying more ($900 million per year) and – here's the kicker – job growth slowing every year since Snyder's cuts have been enacted.

It seems like that's all republican officials have to offer. They give flowery speeches with words like "freedom", "constitution", and "free market" repeated over and over until the tea baggers cream themselves.

From there they bitch and whine about Obama, socialism, and ObamaCare.

Where is the substance? Where is the specific planning they have for the country to better it? They go on and on about creating jobs, but they never come up with specific policies to do it. When they finally do make it to office they cut taxes for the wealthy and nothing happens except for more national debt.

Once again I ask, WHY vote republican? Give me specific reasons why i should vote republican.

Two weeks before the election and what do we already hear from liberals?

Just wait until AFTER the election. If it's the Democrat slaughter predicted, then expect all the claims of vote fraud (because apparently their vote fraud didn't work) and conspiracy crap.

Nothing says sore loser like a liberal who thinks liberals will be out of power.

Um, yeah hypocrite. Shall we go down memory lane and remember WHAT DEMOCRATS STOOD FOR???????????

JFK was:

1) Virulently anti-Communist (Unlike his Brother Ted who it was revealed later sent letters to the Soviets trying to help them against Reagan)

2) Urged Tax Cuts (Only Damn Democrat I know that ever did so and even then it took his death for Democrats to pass it)

3) Against the Mob (instead of in cahoots with them like Johnson)

4) Started the Space Race because he believed in AMERICA FIRST (unlike Obama)

5) Was pro-Big Business (unlike Barack "you didn't build that" Obama)

Or shall we remember how FDR invoked God in his speeches, when a mention of God at the last Democrat Convention drew boos?

You libs are such hypocrites, you always forget that TWO can play at memory lane.

Well, that is something to look forward to. The conservatives doing to the US economy what they have already done to the Kansas economy....

I guess that the Bush recession wasn't enough.
