The Republican Party has no interest in anyone below the multimillion income level. The rest of us exist to work to make a profit to provide luxury and power to the few. These people are the social and financial aristocracy of our day and are creating a New Feudalism based on money, class and race. They have rigged the politics with the absurd SCOTUS decision to grant "personhood" to corporations so they may control elections with money the same way their money still sells tobacco.
We do have a real choice in November. We can either elect a smart and decent person that has saved this country from a devastating depression or we can choose, because billions of advertizing dollars have lied to us, to pick a stuffed shirt with mile wide mean streak. This is why I am working and voting to elect President Obama as well as every other Democrat on the ballot.
If democrat policies were really so great -- then explain Detroit, California, and the nearing bankrupcy of American cities.
The democrats love poor people so much they just can't bring enough into the USA to displace our own less fortunate people. Now the democrats want to destroy the retirees.
It has been proven time and time again that giving the rich more equates to more for the rich at the detriment of everyone else. When Republicans are in charge, they have no concern for the non-rich, and feel free to spend money on those causes that the rich favor. These causes include military efforts abroad to expand "democracy" so the companies that the rich control and expand their influence. Trickle-down does not work. This is the basic failure of he Republican ideology, and Romney is a poster boy.
Can any of you Republicans identify any good that your party has done to benefit the non-rich? When you were in power, why didn't you address the health care crisis? Immigration crisis? Mortgage crisis? Why were your banks allowed to flourish on predatory lending and fee-heaven? Why do you not try to stamp out bigotry and racial discrimination? Why support an agenda that favors bringing over Indian labor to replace and displace qualified americans just to maximize profit? Why favor tax cuts on the rich when such moves stifle the already Bush-damaged economy? Why mindlessly condemn every move of a brilliant, educated, effective, articulate President simply because he's black? He evidentially is the kind of black man you Conservatives complain that black people don't have enough of. He is a fine father and husband. He reaches across the table to solve problems. Full of dignity and integrity, he would incorporate any of your ideas if they benefited the country. He's the best ever. Yet, your message about blacks not measuring up falls on deaf ears since you can't even support the obvious, prominent, and perfect example of the caliber of black person that you complain there aren't enough of. Barack Obama. Quite pathetic.
You cannot win with this platform, and thus far your candidates haven't addressed these matters.
"It has been proven time and time again". Says who? You? As if we are going to believe ANYTHING you claim.
malamute is correct except for the party that has caused the mess.
