How The GOP Went Back To The 1950s In Just One Day

[Mr Natural]

The '50s were a great time in America.

It's no wonder they want to go back.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Only a Moron could try to believe that a first amendment issue is about a "right" to birth control, instead of the right to freedom of religion.

....And, the only people who buy-into religion....in general....are people who
DREAD
DYING!!!!

Whatta bunch o' pussies.​

 

[Vel]

Could you believe that? Issa's panel with NO women and no women allowed to speak. "Back to the Future"? This should help Republicans get the "women's" vote. A time when women were "happy". When they "knew their place". When they happily sang when they cooked and cleaned. Ahh, the days of the "little women".

Rdean.. do you mean to say you really don't know that the panel was not a discussion about birth control, but was a discussion about religious freedom and whether the government should be able to force a religious entity to ignore their own doctrines. If not, let me put it into bigger words for you.

The panel was NOT about BIRTH control. It WAS about GOVERNMENT control.

People like you should quit trying to obfuscate the issue. It's all about GOVERNMENT CONTROL!!!

And conservatives.. Quit letting the liberals drag this off topic and make you lose sight of the real issue.

 

[Harry Dresden]

You all keep thinking this is the Gop imploding..what it's really doing is shining a light on the Democrat party and how it wants to become OUR dictators..
THE PEOPLE are watching

i think they BOTH want to become our Dictators....true story....

You may be right, but we the People seem to still be able to have SOME SAY over the Republicans.

This bunch in there now with Obama as their Dear Leader...scary people to me

and Bush and his group were not scary?......

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Doin' a bang up job this season, GOP.



Keep fuckin' that chicken, y'all and after you get waxed be sure to announce that all you need to do to win is be MORE conservative next time.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Can anyone point out when the GOP actually left the 50s?

I wish they were back in the 50's. At least they were 'somewhat' moderate. Even though moderate and conservative are antonyms.


"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement. They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again. They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
President Harry S. Truman

Being moderate is what got us to the place we are now. do you really want more of what obama is doing?

Reb....being moderate on both sides is much better than being to far right or left......

 

[CaughtInTheMid]

The GOP's downfall was the election of Ronald Reagan, who abandoned the principles of Eisenhower, and started us down the road to bankruptcy.

I voted for Reagan and thought it was right at the time. But the more years that pass, the more I understand the chain of events (spending wise) that he started. It's also been interesting to me that he was once a Democrat (and probably one of the millions that switched parties during the 60s).

 

[Harry Dresden]

Y'know, they sell contraceptives at Wal-Mart every day.

....But, you're expected to throw-them-OUT...

Conservababe


....'cause you were only buying the frame, anyhow.​

what a waste of space.....why do you even post?.....so many have you on ignore that you would think by now you would post like an Adult and not some dumbass little kid....do you think your impressing everyone with your fucking colors and big letters?.....your a fucking annoying little Gnat Shithead....

 

[Stephanie]

Getting the GObP into the 50s will be a huge step forward. This whole mess is very indicative of the mind set of the radical rabid right that the Repub party has become.

Most of these yahoos are careful not to say it right out loud but, if they did, they would tell us they don't believe The Little Woman is capable of making such big decisions.

Along with being the Party Of Let Them Eat Cake, they are also the Party Of Keep 'Em Barefoot, Pregnant And Chained To The Stove.

No, that is how you liberals look today..yelling like a bunch of banshees over wanting FREE birth control. like a woman can't decide if she wants to buy it for herself.

Very neatly, and on three separate fronts, conservatives in America turned the clock back to the 1950s with their rhetoric about women’s rights Thursday, according to women in politics on both sides of the aisle. This could be a big problem for the GOP when the calendar reaches November.

Let’s take a look at Thursday, February 16, 2012, the day Washington fell into a time-warp.

• On Capitol Hill, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) held hearings on contraception and religious freedom that produced the now-famous picture of a table full of men called to weigh in on access to contraceptives. Democrats wanted a woman — a Georgetown law student with a friend who lost an ovary because the university doesn’t cover birth control — to say her piece at the hearing, but Issa wouldn’t let her on the panel. He said she wasn’t “appropriate or qualified” to discuss the topic at hand.

Jaws dropped in the women’s rights community.

“She didn’t have the right credentials?” NOW President Terry O’Neill scoffed. “I’m thinking to myself, ‘Buddy, you and your little panel over there don’t have the right anatomy to talk about birth control.’”

• Politico published a story about a right wing firestorm that had been burning for days: Did the young women who attended this year’s CPAC wear skirts that were too short? The days following the massive conservative conference, which closed Saturday, were filled with tweets and blog posts weighing in on what conservative pundit Melissa Clouthier called outfits that made the college-age women at CPAC look either “frumpish” or “like two-bit whores.” CPAC needs these women to survive — 55% of attendees at the 2011 conference were under 25 — but apparently conservatives want to make sure they don’t show too much of their legs lest they detract from the solemnity of the proceedings. The general agreement among conservatives after days of debate: a CPAC dress code would go too far — but ladies, please.

• Foster Friess, the billionaire backer of Rick Santorum’s campaign, became an instant celebrity when he went on Andrea Mitchell’s MSNBC show and said, “Back in my day, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” Here’s what that looked like:

[theunbubba]

Are you fucking kidding? You left wing jack offs tore Sarah Palin apart, she could fart the wrong way and we heard about it from the asshat left. The day you went after a strong minded woman that's the day the democrats moved America back to the 50's.

Yes. Remember how they went after Palin's daughter because she had a baby without being married? Now they are wailing like banshees about contraception. The hypocrisy is so thick you couldn't cut it with knife.

went after her?

You mean pointed out the results of abstinance only education?

Now tell me how nice you would be about it if one of Obamas daughters were to get pregnant?

Lets all remember what you guys did to a 12 year old Chelsea Clinton who had done nothing wrong.

Why don't you show us all what evil things we did to Chelsea Clinton. You obviously have nothing but lies.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Can anyone point out when the GOP actually left the 50s?

Yeah I can


In the 1950s the GOP was AGAINST FREE TRADE!!

In the 1950s the GOP was unabashedly pro-AMERICA.

In the 1950's the GOP supported investing in USA infrastructure.

In the 1950s the GOP was pro public educational investments.

The botton line, RW, is that in the 1950s the GOP leadership still CARED ABOUT THIS NATION.

Those days are done, dude.

Now all they care about his taking care of the rich no matter where the rich live, their natiponality etc.

.....And, perpetual-War.....where the BIG BUCK$ are!!!!

How about vasectamies(sp)?

Is that a form of birth control? (Sure it is)

What is the position of the bishops on that?

Are vasectamies covered for men under insurance provided by Catholic organizations?

Are vasectamies covered by insurance in non Catholic organizations?

Is this about the dumbest issue that the repubs have ever taken up?

Can you get a man or woman elected President with just Repubs voting for them? I don't think so.
But you repubs are getting ready to find that out. Keep on with what you are doing. It is working great.
For Obama.

Hey skippy. Obama made it an issue intentionally, not us.

 

[theunbubba]

Really? Is that the only answer you have to the current insanity on the right? Oh, of course it is, you are one of the insane.

Yeah, saying the Gop wants to take us back to the 50's is damn SANE.

Of course it is. Let's put them ******* at the back of the bus again.

You're the ones trying to keep BLACKS on the plantation there skippy. Where's your KKK robe?

Very true. Look at how they treat any Black who is not a Democrat and strays off the plantation..

The party of Reagan began a free lunch strategy that consisted of 3 parts:

1. Cut taxes - almost always popular

2. Increase military spending - very popular in a significant voter constituency

3. Pretend you'll cut domestic non-defense programs to pay for 1 and 2, but never really do it for fear of making too many voters blame you for the pain they feel for actually having to pay for their free lunch.

This strategy works splendidly as long as the voters care less about the inevitable deficits and debt accumulation that result than they do about the enjoyment of the free lunch itself.

 

[rightwinger]

The '50s were a great time in America.

It's no wonder they want to go back.

They sure were.....Happy days

When blacks knew their place, gays hid in closets, women stayed at home where they belong and sexuality was properly repressed
