Again, I don't support issues that are not in my self-interest. Smaller government (lack of regulations for corporate giants like Koch/Halliburton) and lower corporate taxes (for Koch/Halliburton) are NOT in my self-interest. And I do not know anyone personally that would benefit from less federal govt. regulations and lower corporate taxes.

Didn't you say that Republicans only look out for themselves and Democrats look out for everyone? Again, explain how you're not a raging hypocrite.

So what do they have left when the race card, the extremist card doesn't work?

Nothing but shrill desperation.
We are desperate, because its just another GOP con, and we just got out of 8 years of useful idiots being conned into GOP. It's just more of the same ole GOP crap, corporate welfare, no corporate regulations, no corporate taxes, and the PARTY OF NO when it comes to anything FOR THE PEOPLE. It's of by and for the corporations. GOP is the United Corporations of America. When does it stop???. "Tea" Party, Neocon Party, Libertarian Party, GOP Party, same thing, different names. Why don't you just call it what it is THE CORPORATION PARTY. Where does the PUBLIC GOOD and FOR THE PEOPLE come into the GOP? Never.

How can you say anything about FOR THE PEOPLE and the PUBLIC GOOD when you just said you only care about things that are in your own best interest?
