I've been called racist by better than thee. JT comes to mind......

It's the easiest dodge in town - to avoid discussing issues.

How does the government help the wealthy? By, among other things, outsourcing government jobs to private sector contractors. The owners of the contracting firms frequently become quite wealthy while their employees are paid far less than if they were directly employed by the government. We need fewer contractors and more government employees. That would reduce the cost to the government by eliminating administrative costs and profit.

Well, as you can see, the Dems are seriously misguided, not to mention incredibly weak and disorganized, in their ideology. Now, they're demonizing the productive and contributing class that by a very large margin supports the rest of the country. That's not a very wise move.

In contrast, one of their pet social programs has resulted in women on welfare having a birth rate 3 times that of women not receiving public assistance.
Quote:
"The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) gave states greater flexibility to formulate and implement initiatives to reduce welfare dependency and encourage employment for members of low-income families with children. For the nation, in 2006, 10 years after passage of the Act, the birth rate for women 15 to 50 years old receiving public assistance income in the last 12 months was 155 births per 1,000 women, about three times the rate for women not receiving public assistance (53 births per 1,000 women)."
http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/p20-558.pdf

In other words, the Dem ideology is to punish responsibility, productivity, and contribution to society, and to encourage and reward a significant increase in the number of children born into poverty.

What's their "fair share," Greg?

There are conservatives on this forum who didn't and wouldn't vote for the current POTUS that are not racist, then there are the resident racists. Just because they're not using racial slurs doesn't mean that we can't tell. That's the issue with some people on the right, they think that everyone is as ignorant as they are. Intelligent and rational conservatives have acknowledged it.
They would not let me rep you but that is exactly it. Nancy is no racist. She can criticize all she wants. Wrong or right and whether I agree with her or not I know as a black man that her criticism is not coming from a place of racial hate. When the tea party or Limbaugh or beck criticize I know where that is coming from. Nancy's criticism and theirs are totally different.

Let me guess, its because the other opinions are coming from non-Democrats.

When the "hate" comes from a Democrat, it's not racist
When the "hate" comes from a non-Democrat, it's racist

LOL
