Will Republicans Save Us?

[Cecilie1200]

the current media is concerned with only two things. Making money and keeping liberals in power.

Don't you mean keeping libtards and conservatards in power?

Why would he mean that? The media has no interest in keeping conservatives in power.

No politician can cut any spending without getting flack from both sides.

Politicians have nothing to lose and everything to gain by increasing spending.

We are effed by the government.

The best thing to do is vote out as many lifers as we can and try a new set of congressional vampires.

Will Republicans Save Us? by Walter E. Williams

I won't be holding my breath.

No.
republicans will NOT save us.

repubs helped put us in this position in the first place.

That is not true but don't let a little thing like the truth stop you.

It's certainly not false. The current situation in this country is the product of a two-party fuck-us-up-the-ass-a-thon.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

When you start sucking Democrat cock because the Republicans are a failed Party in shambles, there's no use for you in our nation's future. You don't get it, you won't get it, and you never will.

Good luck though.

Political parties can't save us. Only God can.

We have to clean the the inner vessel before the outward one.

Agreed. The entire group of the elected officials AND the parties should be swept out of power and kept from doing anything more than voting for the next 25 years.

The population needs to be educated on their responsibilities as citizens to keep themselves informed.

We need better watchdogs of government, because the current media is concerned with only two things. Making money and keeping liberals in power.

Well, part of the problem is that so many people got the idea that it was the media that was supposed to be the watchdogs of the government, rather than the people themselves being the watchdogs of BOTH the government AND the media.

If a job is truly important, you're better off doing it yourself.

the media IS supposed to be the watchdogs of the government. how can you say that's not an essential reason for their existence? how is someone living in kansas working a job and raising a family supposed to know what's going on in washington if not for the media?

isn't that kind of like saying, it's the job of the referee to officiate the game, its the job of the fan to officiate the refs and the players.

Wow, the U.S government really sucks, huh? The Repub & the Dems sucks as well!

No doubt about it!

That's why the U.S. is the world's dominant nation militarily, economically, socially, culturally, politically and in just about every other way imaginable.

While there is no doubt that poor leadership in the past 20 years has led us into a potential economic pickle - one that does threaten our future - don't give me this bullshit that we have an overwhelming history of failing government leadership.

If there is any key point that changed the quality of leadership in this country and started us down the road to ruin, it's the 1994 congressional elections and the whole New Grengrich lead neo-conservative movement.

That's when 'free trade' and 'free market' thinking took over. That's when the U.S. got bought out by China.

We may have had an economic boom back in the 1990s but it was based on the information revolution, tax increases by the Congress in 1993 and massive over extension of credit.

This last decade saw us make idiotic tax cuts - while we had a huge deficit. Continued over extension of credit, continued trade deficits with China, one war that we should never have started, a lack of focus on the war that we should have been focused on, the destruction of the American manufacturing base and a total flow of all wealth into the hands of the wealthiest 1%.

While the Democrats may be a bunch of wishy-washy little girls that are afraid of stepping on anybody's toes, the Republicans are the absolute definition of failure. They are the antithesis of the type of leadership that we need to get us out of this mess. They are the personification of the betrayal of the American dream.

We need protectionism, a tax code that forces the wealthy to invest in high risk, growth oriented industries, an acceptable rate of inflation - to offset the national debt, an end to the nation building strategy in Afganistan and an adoptation of an all out war strategy - end it, end it definitively and end it quickly, a reinstatement of government regulations with enforcement, a completely redefined immigration code, and an end to the philosophy of holding American wages down.

In short, we need radical and decisive leadership. Not a shift to socialism, nor a continuation of the liberatarian philosophy.

In fact we need a revision to the classic and decisive middle-of-the road economic leadership. This is the tradition that made America great.

Only if we drop all these European originated economic philosophies and examine our own history will we find the answers to today problems.

This post really blows my mind. A continuation of libertarian philosophy? Where was this and when did it take place? Free markets and free trade? Tax increases leading to economic booms? I'm afraid these claims defy reality.

Will Republicans Save Us?

LMAO!!!!!!!! They are 50% responsible for every fucked up element plaguing us!

I won't be holding my breath.

OK you passed the sanity test.

The repubs and democrats are twin wrecking balls whose very existence revolves around destroying the nation to enrich themselves and their campaign contribution clientele.

IOW enemies of the state; both more evil than commyism, Islam, terrorism.

 

[Charles_Main]

Save us? Probably not, Stop the current manifestation of the Extreme left agenda. Yes.

well he isn't terribly far off the mark and clearly this bloke is expressing his honorable rage.

I wish that either one of the two evil parties provided remedy for what ails him.

On the contrary, he's completely off the mark by a wide margin. There has been no libertarian philosophy in American governance, there have been no free markets, no free trade, and tax increases do not lead to economic booms in any way shape or form.

I don't understand how the Republican's plan of moving jobs to China will help this country. I guess the results are supposed to be "subtle".

Ohh it is absolutely true and the Dems helped them.

PAID lobbyists need to be banned and consorting with paid lobbyists be made a crime of treason.

 

[Big Fitz]

Can't ban lobbying. Constitutionally protected free speech.

Of course there is an easy way to end this incestuous cycle.

1. institute term limits on all elected officials and a lifetime cap of 30 years total time in government service in the bureaucracy OR elected office at any level.

2. 10 year ban against a politician being employed for the purpose of or by the media, lobbyists or political nonprofits/committees/contractors/charities

3. All congressional districts must be drawn with the smallest volume, and shortest perimeter to meet constitutional standards.

Ban PAID lobbyists, not lobbyists alltogether.

Also allow no lobbyists or outside groups to write bills. All bills must be written by congressional staffs.

How do you propose we get around the old minimum wage?

Just ban the job title in DC.
No job no wage.
