If you're middle/lower class and don't hate your fellow citizens because they live or look differently than you do, Republicans' policies are not going to help you.
What are you so upset about? I said you and your liberal brethren will win going forward. I will continue to work and continue to pay for myself as I always have. I will also continue to pay my part for all of your liberal brethren who need my help as I always have.
You shouldn't be mad at me. You should be worried. Worried about where your not so well off liberal neighbor will start looking once all of my money is gone. Better button your pockets but that wouldn't be very Christian right? Funny too that you mention you are Christian. Why mention it?
oh I see what you did there.Perhaps she will. Kissinger likes her ...

You might want to do a little research, Al. The GOP has a majority in 3/5ths of all state legislatures, 29 states have Republican governors, and a raw numbers count shows the US Congress to have more individual members of the Republican Party than the Democrat Party. The GOP is not going away anytime soon.
Romney's comment, as unfortunate as the edited release of it was, was actually right on point. A percentage of Americans who have become dependent on government vote to keep the water flowing, not giving two shits about how it affect those individuals who are forced to provide that support. You are deluding yourself if you believe that a plethora of low information voters exist only in the GOP voting block.
I don't get what that "conspiracy" gif has to do with anything. I'm pretty sure that the dude that contributed a lot to prevent nuclear war, single-handedly supported the U.S. economy in the last 40 years (with the petrodollar deal), and nominated the European commission president, still gets his "advices" heardoh I see what you did there.
My research concluded that gerrymandering works wonders. When you can just redraw the lines so that you've omitted all minorities and mostly Democratic voters, Republicans can win just about any race. Also, don't forget about the voting laws they're trying to change to combat a non-existent voting fraud problem.
You're also talking about a very small amount of people who abuse the system. Those few people aren't the problem. Like I said to Hermskii, you guys have no problem with your tax dollars going to the gigantic US warmachine and tax breaks for oil companies and big business.
Fuck the people that are trying to stay alive, right?
Edit: I want to note that oil subsidies over the last 50 years or so have equaled about $1.5T while the battle to fight poverty has cost over $15T in the same period.
Feel free to quote me where I have said anything remotely close to that.
So, should we stop helping the poor? Should we be a nation that doesn't care about its citizens?
So, should we stop helping the poor? Should we be a nation that doesn't care about its citizens? If that's the case, then what we now know as the United States of America would no longer exist.
Of course not. I don't understand what I have said to give you that distinct impression. My point is that we spend far more on combating poverty than we do propping up the oil industry. By the way, those numbers are estimates and they include all energy subsidies during that period, to include electric, gas and oil.
Considering the sheer amount of money we Americans collectively spend on energy, to the tune of several hundred billion each year, these subsidies are a small investment to insure that the price at point of sale is within the grasp of even those impoverished households you mentioned.
No, no, no, I am not saying that at all. Historically speaking, it wasn't until the Great Depression Era that America's federal budget consisted on much more than defense spending. It was during the Civil War that Congress levied income taxes on Americans to help pay for that effort. It wasn't until the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913 that income taxes on individuals became permanent. Sorry, I don't mean to come off as rude with the history lesson, but I felt the need to point out that the America you know now did not always exist in our history, for better or for worse.
Sorry. I'm kind of ranting. I'm just throwing things out there. And I really can't argue with anything you've posted.
Brotha, you let the troll get to you. Just take a deep breath.
Don't worry, we all fall victim to his asshatery from time to time.
edit - not calling Crotale a troll fyi
