10 reasons to vote democrat

[luckyleftyme2]

1. When Republicans in Congress refused to extend unemployment benefits at a time of very high unemployment unless millionaires and billionaires got to keep their tax cuts, they showed us that they hate unemployed Americans.

2. When Governor Rick Perry and the Republican controlled Texas Legislature chose to lay off thousands of teachers all across Texas rather than increase taxes or use more of the rainy day fund, they showed us that they hate American teachers and students.

3. In 2004 when then State Senator Michele Bachmann said, “If you’re involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage. It is personal bondage, personal despair and personal enslavement.” She showed us that she hates gay and lesbian Americans.

4. When Republicans chose cuts to social programs that help many Americans just trying to get by rather than cuts to tax subsidies for corporate jets and oil companies, they showed us that they hate poor and disabled Americans.

5. When Republicans such as Presidential Candidates Herman Cain and Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Representatives Allen West and Peter King, and many others sought to deny freedom of religion to Muslim Americans by claiming that they shouldn’t be allowed to build a mosque, they showed us that they hate Muslim Americans.



6. When Republicans stripped the collective bargaining rights of union workers in Wisconsin and elsewhere, they showed us that they hate American union workers.

7. When Republicans in Congress sought to turn Social Security to a voucher program and Republicans in the Texas Legislature cut funds to nursing homes to balance a budget deficit, they showed us they hate senior Americans.

8. When Republicans in Congress and state legislatures across the country sought to remove funding family planning centers and the Women’s Health Initiative, they showed us that they hate American women.

9. When Republicans in Arizona, Texas, Alabama, and several other states passed laws that discriminate against ethnic Americans in the name of national security, they showed us that they hate Ethnic Americans and especially hate Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans.

10. When Republicans sought and continue to seek to remove funding from the EPA, they showed us that they hate breathing Americans.

There you have it. Republicans may love America, but they really hate Americans.

The only way to stop the GOP is to assault the one think they love above all else – money. Cut off their lifeline, they will howl bloody murder, but they’ll be the ones to cave for a change. Here’s how you do it:

1: Social Ostracism – Demonize the GOP and ALL its members/believers (in other words, do to them what they are already doing to us…)

The GOP wants to take our money, our property and our personal freedoms in the name of religious bigotry and corporate and personal profit. Their sociopathic behavior has lost them the right to be treated as fellow humans. OSTRACIZE THE GOP. Do not engage them in conversation, do not wait on them at counters or restaurants, do not invite them to social events, in general MAKE THEM INVISIBLE. Do not respond to their questions/statements except to say, “I do not talk to the likes of YOU…” be sure to sneer on the final word so they understand the deep level of disgust you feel toward them. Or simply point to the sign on your wall that says “We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone.” Then turn away and go about your business as if they were invisible, and do not say another word to them unless they get out of control. Then just say “You must leave now, or I will call the police.” The goal is to isolate them from human society as one would do with any rabid dog.

2: Economic ostracism: Boycott ALL large-scale retailers and franchise businesses (as much as possible – some services may only be available in your area by franchises, but look around.) Spend your money ONLY on locally-owned and run businesses. If you can, buy NOTHING major that gives money to large corporations (TV, computer, auto, appliances, etc. Buy nothing but food, basic clothing – no designer labels – and household dry goods like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.) It will cost more for a while and be a bit of an inconvenience, but eventually the loss of income for the corporations will force a response. And there is nothing they can do to stop either action, they are the ones who thought up the “We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service”

I can think of no other legal way to impact the rape and looting currently going on in the halls of power all over the nation.

I think some of these comments are pretty good at highlighting how well the Republican leadership has polarized society. They are using issues like immigration reform to “generate” differences that don’t exist. I think we all agree that we need to have laws about what level of documentation(etc.) is needed to establish a legal basis for living in this country and that these laws need enforcement. They’ve successfully(again) exploited fear and anger to cause people to argue over things that most of us agree on. This historically has been a pretty good way to split the left and they are up to their old tricks again. Don’t fall for it.

Beware of the evil genius. His name is Karl Rove(among others like Rupert Murdoch, Ralph Reed etc.)and he’s ready to step on our necks every time we show disunity. Immigration reform is a “non issue”. It’s simply being generated to stir up fear among the ignorant and cultivate the perception that we(the current inhabitants of the left wing) are against it. When we really aren’t. If we want to change government in this country we need to get active in our local precinct and put the candidates in a position to win. Arguing online helps shake out ideas and will have some influence. But the right wing is right(as opposed to wrong). They are getting involved in the process and making it happen. We just seem to argue, not that they don’t, but we’re smarter than they are and we should know better than to engage in time wasters. Get active in your local precict and find out what you can do to help the cause!

Republicans do not hate America, they just hate Americans who are not wealthy.

Well living in Arizona the secret to SB1070 is that it is not about immigration at all. This state built lots of minimum security prisons to house DUI offenders that never came. They now use those prisons as med. security. It was from one of these prisons that the 3 people escaped last year and went on a killing spree. But I digress.
When they shifted from DUI to med security it gave the lobbyists and prison owners a great idea.
They want to build more prisons here and currently lobby for it…..When the ones we have now are not filled and the state is broke.
So how do you convince the people to spend more money on prisons and line the pockets of the Brewer campaign as well as the rest such as Arpiao and Pearce……Brewers campaign manager is one of the biggest lobbyists in the states for the private prison corps.
But….. You demonize illegals after all they are not even citizens it is not like they can come forward and complain about how they are treated. Then once you convince a bunch of under educated racists that these Mexicans are a threat to your job and life and they are stealing your identity etc….. Then well even in a state as broke as Arizona it is a easy sell to get them to build more prisons.
Because the grand plan of Sheriff Joe is to lock them up over here in a jail we pay for for years then deport them anyway…..
Now in a State that has cut everything to the bone and they refuse to raise taxes….Where is that money coming from?
Wonderful part of it all is they will cash in building the prisons then cash in again filling them and billing the state for each person they house…..Then miracle of miracles will happen and they will donate money back to Brewer , Pearce and Arpiao and get them elected once again…..
Criminal conflicts of interest all over the place. People used to go to jail for this type of corruption and the GOP with its deregulation and laws against Americans and in support of corporations as lead us to this mess.
I mean really the whole drug testing thing in Florida is also a joke. Already proven it will not save anything near what it costs to do and all the money goes to the Governors bank account Via his wife……They are stealing this country blind in plain site all while saying it is the liberal social service programs that are the problem……
I hope they all rot in __________ .

Marko, get a grip!
Do you think those laws are aimed at the illegal Europeans that are over here? Really?? –
Obama has more deportations than Bush ever did, why weren’t these states enacting these laws under Bush??
this is another bogus fear tactic by the Right — aimed at “them” — notice they always need a “them” for people to be afraid of — some people that the right will help to “defend righteous Amerikans from” — Mexicans, gays, blacks, asians, “free-loaders” socialist scumbags, etc etc etc — It all points away from their policies that are running the country into the ground.
They don’t want immigration reform, it would cut off their supply of cheap labor they can exploit

If what the author has suggested you, as a Republican, think is not in fact what you think, then perhaps you’d better start DEMANDING that your Republican representatives start representing your beliefs. You might even threaten to vote them out of office at the first opportunity if they don’t start REPRESENTING you. Because no matter how strenuously you object to what the author has said, you didn’t (couldn’t?) dispute the fact that Republican legislators are, in fact, doing exactly what’s said here.

The Republican party puts out its agenda and voted exactly as the author of this post states. So therefore, if you are a Republican and you vote Republican than you support that agenda! It’s like trying to say you are kinda pregnant! You either are a Republican or not! You can’t have it both ways.
