Last night there was a theme that the reason you're failing isnt because of gumption or elbow grease or whatever else. It was Governments fault you're doing bad (even tho the economy is doing good, but nevermind). Its Washingtons fault you feel bad. And only Trump can fix it. Equal pay for women was applauded, why? Do republicans believe that now or they didnt want to be rude by not applauding Ivanka? Equal rights for gays too? Is that a republican thing now too?
 
The Republicans have been a big government party with DDE, then Nixon, with Reagan's huge expansion of government, then even more so under Bush the Younger.
 
Big government has been a republican thing since Eisenhower, at least. It's to the point that they don't even cynically claim that they're going to roll any of it back anymore.

I know but they've always SAID they were against it while doing the opposite. Its refreshing to see them own up to it.
 
the gop members are against big government and want it reigned in.

their leaders tell them they will do that, then tell them, ok, this time we mean it, and then tell them, ok, this time we really mean it, then retire

Both parties are full of shit. Only a retard thinks otherwise.

Are you seriously bitching about the GOP candidate openly stated that he is for gay rights and equal pay for women? Among other things?

Well, actually that should worry you , because your piece of shit candidate really has nothing to run on except scare tactics , many of which Trump took away from her last night.
 
Seems some didn't hear he would, in his first 100 days, conduct departmental budget reviews to cut out the fat of unneeded, superfluous, etc. government spending programs and whatnot.

Ah, it's gonna be nice having someone with a business background at the helm for a change.

and yet Trump says he will be in charge of law and order, sounds like he is going to be in charge of "everything".

They just don't want to pay taxes, have the EPA, or IRS, and allow Corps to do whatever they want. It will be sad news for Trump to get in, him and his rich friends are going to run things.

no one 'wants' to pay taxes, anyone that says they do is a liar.
the epa gets to ignore court orders and do what it wants, it's utterly corrupt
the irs has been used as a weapon
the Corps thing is just a leftist lie that only they believe

the rich bought hillary, they own her and she will do as they say, just like obama did
 
"Is Big Government now a Republican Thing?"

It’s been a republican thing for quite some time: more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty – violate the privacy rights of women, the equal protection rights of gay and transgender Americans, and the due process rights of immigrants.

More government, bigger government with voter ‘ID’ laws, drug testing public assistance applicants, and ‘screening’ Muslim Americans.

Idk, couldn't have found a businessman with less fraud and RICO charges?
 
Last night there was a theme that the reason you're failing isnt because of gumption or elbow grease or whatever else. It was Governments fault you're doing bad (even tho the economy is doing good, but nevermind).

If the government is using regulations to shut down businesses and prevent new start ups then yes, obviously the government is at fault.

Its Washingtons fault you feel bad. And only Trump can fix it.

It is the Multinational Corporate Crony Networks fault that runs Washington DC.

There used to be a time when the Dimbocrats were opposed to that, but now that selling out the Middle Class is part of their political strategy with Hillary "the Owned" Clinton, there is nothing bad that corporations can do any more in the Dimbocrat minds, except of course to support the GOP.

Equal pay for women was applauded, why? Do republicans believe that now or they didnt want to be rude by not applauding Ivanka?

Equal pay for EQUAL WORK is the applauded thought, but the catch come in defining what equal work is. Is a truck drivers job equal to a secretaries because they both sit alot? Is an HR manager the same as a software engineering managers job? Etc.

Most people expect to see equivalence with all other factors being the same for the SAME EQUAL job. Trump wants to address the underlying causes of the inequality by providing day care and educational opportunities to single Moms.

Equal rights for gays too? Is that a republican thing now too?

It always has been minus Fag Marriage.

Big government is a Leftist media term. Republicans believe in LIMITED government. I already know you don't see the difference.

Idiot. Hillary is far more intimately tied to Wall Street than Trump will ever be. They own her.

Idiot.

I just had to say that again.
 
Well, if you're going to build a large wall, screen all Muslims entering and currently in this country, deport over 11 million people and all the other things that Trump wants to do, it's going to require a lot more government workers to do so.

Or................he could outsource the job, like the government did with security clearances under Jr. (and look how well that turned out).

Either way, it's gonna take a lot of taxpayer money, and if he cuts taxes for the rich, who is going to pay for the screenings, deportations, and the wall?

That's right..................the lower and middle class.

Conservatives believe in limited gov't, Republicans love big gov't.

Tell that to Reagan, to Bush the Younger. They are Republicans and greatly expanded government. You lie, and you know it.
