When a republiCON says..
we don't need government tell them: Well,I guess that means we don't need you. Aren't Senators and Congressmen and women the government?

The next thing you ask them is why are they accepting their healthcare from the government. Why then when a tornado hits,or any other disaster why do they Repubs start crying and yelling for the government to help?

Can a country run without a government?

4. Most repugs
don't give a damn how much hell they catch as long as their fundamental ideology stays in place.Can't you see that.And now that the Supreme court has made their ruling on corporations spending whatever amount of money they want on ads for a candidate,a lot more people will be out of the political process.So after they catch some more hell out there the only thing i can say is that you get what you got coming.Because most people believe that we are really engaged in a political battle instead of a corporate one, this is the mistake all along with Dems and the repugs.Instead they rather argue and fight with each other and amongst themselves instead of focusing their attention on the real obstacles of Government change.Its really gotten quite sickening to watch people fall for all the suggestive marketing tools that take control of their thought process.I listen to pundits tell them what they think and what they want and prey on their fears of life.And low and behold you have a bunch of dillusional people saying yes to ignorance that in their mind makes complete sense. And if you say anything different, you are against the Government, not the injustices within the Government.I know that there will be some who won't agree with me now.But you don't need glasses to see whats coming.

7. Their problem is that they
hate everyone who they perceive to not be like them. I listen to a lot of mainly,white male callers this morning on cspan and they were just salivating and enjoying the fact that corporations are gaining more power.

I also heard a number of white male callers who were really angry that people were getting food stamps at a time like this. I wonder if they care about farmers getting subsidies to not grow food.


They also seem to get very angry if a person on food stamps gets to eat a steak. They said they don't want people taking their money for this do they realize that its not only their money some of these people have worked and its their money too.

5. To answer your question: it's not a country without a government.
Without a government, we are just a landmass full of rugged individualists. Or warlords and their bands.

6. Which is what they think they want..
but if it came in to reality they couldn't take it,they say "I want my country back" because as soon as Barack won. It was as if a switch came on in their brain and they suddenly realized that the country really isn't a majority of caucasians.

Most people in this country already know this we are a mixture of all races and we have been mixing and mingling for years while many live in areas,of just caucasians so they sterotype everyone by what they see on tv.

Another thing,for the past eight years the country has already been ran by a bunch of warlords and their bands..

8. You got that right
They always say things like I want my country back,as if it moved over to China.Oh thats right it did.Or they will say they want smaller Government.That was a Reagan thing.When he was in office it was estimated by the census that there were approximately 224 million People in America.Today they say it is over 300 million.Personally I think because of all the problems we are having and the lack of resources that there may be roughly 400 million people in the country.So what size Government supports the need of a country this size?They always want something that seems ridiculous at this time in history.None of what repugs say fit the scope of the America I see.Please believe that when any type of disaster hits American soil,the first entity they expect to respond is the Government and its citizens and they don't care what ethnic or cultural background they come from.
