Sure, here ya go;
While keeping you poor they will be sure to create more programs that suppress growth and offer more in the way of free stuff. This is a sure thing but they ask only one thing of you, DO NOT attempt to be independent! In doing so they will harshly limit your freedoms and place obtuse obstacles in your way. But if you enjoy the totally free ride and you can be happy living just above poverty then they are the group to vote for!
Remember, Repubs keep people rich and Dems keep people poor. (1+1=2)

Happy Voting!

There is never a good reason to vote for Democrats and the current joke of an adminstration shows this clearly.

Default the D-Party

The D Party is the Dems answer to the T party. The D Party has hijacked the Democratic party and replaced their mainstream tendencies with socialistic and communistic policies and attitudes.

Vote mainstream Dem to oust the, far left of reality, D Party Dems now in control.

An intelligent vote for a Dem would help make the job of the Repubs less difficult to relaim America from the radical interlopers now running the Dem ship of fools.

If you abide by your legislative representative to pass legislation without full working knowledge of its implications then vote for the D-Party.

Vote D-Party if Pelosi's words ring true to your heart, "We have to pass it to see what's in it".

Vote D-Party if you believe Pelosi's words that promises made during a political campaign are not to be held sacred. Nancy has declared that words spoken during re-election fervor are nothing more than 'poetic license'.

Remember the Pelosi!
Vote Democratic to abdicate your constitutional responsibilities.

Big business?

Don't kid yourself.

Democrats are every bit the corporate whores Republicans are.

It's just different corporations.

There's no way to prove that our economy would have been much worse off without the federal spending.



We sustained all that debt from every "conservative's" hero Ronald Reagan, did we not?



This is America. Saavy businesses will adjust to any climate. Or do you no longer believe in this notion?



Depends how you look at it.



Oh I'm sure Republicans secretly pray to God every day that no part of it works. If it does, Republicans will have egg on their face for many election cycles on top of their constantly offending Hispanic citizens.



If oil companies didn't roll around in their money all day and planned for the future, perhaps they wouldn't whine about having to adjust to policy changes.



That's just plain ridiculous. Why not admit the truth? Just say it. Say Muslims make you nervous and you don't like the attention they are getting. Deep down, you think most are terrorists.




Yeah, that Obama. He's pretty radical. I bet he'd start a way in a country that didn't attack us. And when he runs in 2012, I'm certain he will demand a birth certificate and claim the person is a part of a religion that scares you. Oh wait, conservatives have already done both.




"I bet he'd start a way (sic) in a country that didn't attack us."



And you would win that bet!






'We sustained all that debt from every "conservative's" hero Ronald Reagan, did we not?"



Not...

Reagan

Depends on whether you want to support the party that's struggling to revive the economy amid constant obstruction due to a bat**** house and an increasingly unethical use of the filibuster? Or the party that destroyed the economy in the first place and still think the policies that sent us up that creek in the first place will work again. Why would it work this time?? Because they said so.

The Tea Party Movement opposes government spending stolen money, but stolen money is very popular with the recipient class.

It is for this reason recipients of government largess oppose the Tea Party Movement.

Of course they can't admit they want government to steal money on their behalf, so they make up other reasons for opposing Tea Party organizations and the activities of these organizations.

With a few changes, my post in this thread from 2 years ago is still valid:


Remember the blatant, almost dismissively casual assaults on the Constitution the last time the Republican's had total control? Remember the gross expansion of the Commander in Chief's power at the expense of The People?

Remember this economic crisis, which began before Obama was ever elected?

Remember the "Contract With America?" Remember how, instead of following the conservative princples they espoused, they passed social legislation and expanded the size of the government at a rate which would make LBJ blush?

Remember the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement, which George Bush commited us to without including Congress and The People? Remember that the S&PP is unifying the regulations, rules and laws of the US, Canada and Mexico without any input from us? Remember how it's all being done by government bureaucrats and corporate "stakeholders," yet has the force of law? Remember that it was deliberately styled as an "agreement," rather than a treaty, so Congress wouldn't have to be ratify it?

Remember CAFTA?

Remember "Stay the Course?" Remember how few Republican's said anything until thousands of American soldiers had died needlessly? Remember how Romney would start that all over again in Iran?

Remember how the GOP is spending precious time in the House passing endless "feel good" legislation which doesn't have an ice cubes chance in hell of helping the country, but fools you into believing their doing something?

Remember how the Neo-Con wing of the party wouldn't accept the result of a free and open election in 2008? Remember how they've unleashed a torrent of lies, half truths and hate-filled websites and e-mails questioning Obama's right to even hold office? Remember how their supporters in the Beck crowd have been whipped into such a frenzy of hate that anything is possible right now? See how they're STILL playing that card...endlessly?

Remember how the old, familiar, corporate toadies in the party have taken over the Tea Parties and screwed those concerned citizens out of their agenda by pretending to be them and by funding them via cut-outs and false fronts? (See: Tea Party Express) They're still doing that too.

Remember the lies? Remember the pretenses to get elected, followed by pro-corporation and pro-China policies which have killed the middle class? You'd better remember their history if you want to say with The Who, "We won't be fooled again." Of course, it you WANT to fooled, go ahead and buy the snake oil they're selling again.

Remember their "principled" stand which is holding up the Amercan Jobs Act? Remember how they're standing up for their corporate sponsors in states all over the country and not for you? Remember how their policies have pushed more and more people onto the unemployment rolls, and will again, and how they'd cut off all assistance to those very same unemployed if they get the chance?


The list goes on and on. The GOP of today isn't the GOP of Barry Goldwater. They've lied to you before. Remember, "We're as conservative as you are, buddy!" they'll say while slapping you on the back and getting your vote. But, after you've voted them in, they've been anything BUT conservative.

They're lying to you now. Will you fall for it again?

are you really going to pretend that obama hasn't lied his way through his administration? GITMO, patriot act, all the wars, the unsustainable debt load which is now MUCH WORSE, bonus clawbacks, getting the bad guys, wall street reform, getting businesses back up and running, student debt, etc.

the sad part is that obama's new subtext "get whitey" agenda doesn't have a prayer of playing out longterm. he is trying to forge an alliance between hispanics and blacks strictly for votes, yet both groups are statistically more dependent on the government and the rise of both groups means that there will be LESS money for each, not more-or we will witness the entire destruction when the debt load gets too great without the ability to support it.

what kind of honest leader would want to stop a purge of ineligible voters? people really need to ask some serious questions about that, and what the agenda is there.

but, then again, nobody can accuse obama of thinking ahead. (except for 60 days ahead when he cancels the government layoff notices that are coming).
