It's not the job of political parties to set up advantageous conditions to improve your life. That's for individuals to do.

Did you wait around for the Republican party to improve your life? Probably so.

I thought you people were supposed to be small government conservatives? Sure as hell don't sound like it.

Yes ... your ignorance is a very significant part of the problem. But that's the thing about ignorance ... the ones most suffering it are the least likely to realize it.
1. Fine...call me a racist then.

2. America is a much better place. If you don't think so, then you're free to leave. You sure as hell aren't
making it any better.

3. My ignorance isn't the problem...your angry, perpetual bedwetting, p*ss poor attitude is. No wonder your
life sucks.

Depending on your tax bracket
If you vote for Republicans, you get taxes lowered.
Only if you fall under the top 15% earners in the country, everyone else would remain the same

If you vote for Democrats, you get concessions to teacher unions.
And your dumbass kids might actually learn something with updated materials
If you vote for Republicans, you get school vouchers.
You will also get mass exodus from public schools, but the amount of your taxes won't change


And you think it makes no difference?
It would if you quit believing every scare tactic that Faux throws at you

I guess realizing and pointing out injustices done to another group is racist, I guess you can call me Col. Klanman

WAH!!! Please explain to all of us why anytime a person of color complains about injustices they are called "racists, and instrument used to divide or playing the race card"? I guess it was better when folks could round up a couple of "good ole' boys" and have a tree party without a complaint. All of the things that you mentioned have been going on since the "Gipper" was in office but yet, very few complained than so why now?

This you should be able to test out in a sentence all by yourself ...

Using this sentence as a guide .... "The republican party is comprised of individual members who refer to themselves as republicans" ... which one of the following two sentences do you believe demonstrates proper grammar?:

1) "The Democrat party is comprised of individual members who refer to themselves as Democrats"

or

2) "The Democratic party is comprised of individual members who refer to themselves as Democratics"

The choice is obvious, so I suggest that you ought to make sure you get it right first, before trying to correct others.
So, is that what Texas schooling is teaching these days? I grew up in south Texas, worked polling places in the early 80s when the Republcans were starting to take hold. I NEVER heard them referred to them as the "Democrat party" when they were the dominant party in Tex. It wasn't until the talk show radio craze began that the term "Democrat party" came into vogue. It's like some kinda "secret code" (but not so secret) that the neanderthal rush limbaugh types use frequently to act "cute" like the way that they used to do "witch's honor" on the old Bewitched show.. In your example, "PARTY" is the noun and Republican or Democratic is the adjective that describes the noun. It's only a proper noun when it's standing alone.

Well, I have an important question for you to consider. Have Republicans done any better for Blacks?

They haven't made it better for the general population and neither have the dems. Local control is best. Let society do its role and let government do its limited, defined role.

A rich person knows how to make money no matter what political party is in power. Stop waiting for politicians and government.
