Liberals lie. All the time. ALL the Republicans have platforms, your disagreement doesn't equate to non existence. Democrats are the party of lies and distortions. Honestly won't win them votes and they know it. The left wing solution? Same as always. Spend more money!
Your post is a prime example of what the OP was talking about.
First you say liberals lie. Conservatives lie too.
What is the Republican plan for health care? I have been watching American politics closely since the 1960's when I was a teenager. I have yet to see a Republican put forth a single idea to reform your mess of a health care system. Health care is a necessity of life, not a luxury item for the rich and well-employed. Allowing big-pharma, big-insurance, and big-medicine to consume nearly a third of your economy is beyond stupid, but the aforementioned Big 3 have effectively lied to the American public for decades about the evils of socialized medicine, and convinced you that the US has the best healthcare in the world, when it's not even in the top 20 any more.
What about Foreign Affairs? I've seen suggestions of nuking ISIS, carpet bombing ISIS, and other war-mongering, none . Donald has a plan for dealing with ISIS but won't reveal it until after he is elected. All of the conservatives are chomping at the bit to go to war - again. Idiocy. You're bankrupting your economy with endless wars. Look at the deterioration in your education, infrastructure, and capital spending. Conservatives are ever ready to spend money the country doesn't have, on wars that it shouldn't be fighting. But when it comes to spending at home, on things to improve your own country or help your own people, you won't spend a dime.
Middle Eastern sectarian violence has been going on for thousands of years. Because of its dependence on foreign oil, the US has become embroiled in this viper pit and no good has come of it. The "American Interests" you are fighting and dying for, are bigger profits for American corporations, many of whom pay little or no tax to fund their profiteering wars.
Women's Rights? There is no platform here. Republicans won't vote for a single measure to improve the quality of life for American women. No maternity leave. No subsidized day care for the working poor. No family leave. No mandated vacations. No job protections for pregnant women. Birth control not covered in your workplace medical plan if your employer objects on religious grounds (vile, mysogynistic, comtemptible), voting against fair pay, opposing a woman's right to choose. Putting into place expensive and unnecessary tests and delays regarding abortions in place making it more difficult for poor women to get the care they need.
The economy. Here is where conservatives lie the most. Cutting taxes has never created jobs. I know you think that it helped Ronald Reagan create jobs, but at the same time Reagan cut taxes, he went on a military spending spree the likes of which has never been seen in the US. Jobs were created in the defense industry, and billions of tax dollars, most of them borrowed, flowed into the economy. Deficits didn't matter. Even though Reagan later repudiated his tax cuts, and acknowledged the damage done to the economy, Republicans have continued to follow this "cut and spend" doctrine as the gospel of job creation. Neither Reagan nor Bush2 has the job creation record of Clinton or Obama, both of whom raised taxes.
I have never seen Republicans present a cogent economic plan other than to cut social programs, cut taxes and cut regulations. The stock market crashed under Reagan and it crashed bigger under Bush2. None of the current Republican candidates is addressing the issue of the declining wealth of middle and low income Americans, wage inequality or increasing wages for the working poor. These issues are not going away, and Republicans policies are what created flat wages.
Nowhere do Republicans not walk the walk more than in terms of the economy. They don't create jobs. They improve conditions for corporations and the wealthy, at the expense of the middle class and poor. The fight wars, not to keep Americans safe, but to protect corporate assets abroad, and have the middle class and poor pay for these wars.
Why anyone who is not a member of the wealthiest 1% votes Republican, is beyond me.
Back at the turn of the last century, Americans realized that large corporations were not good for the economy of the country. Competition was good for the economy. They passed anti-trust legislation which broke up corporation that got too large. Reagan gutted that anti-trust legislation, and now we have mega-corporations sucking the wealth of the country out of the pockets of taxpayers, and into pockets of the 1%. It is time to break up these large corporations which stiffle the competition, drive jobs overseas, and pay their employees so little they can't live on their wages.
