You said Obama is the best friend corporations have. If that were true you would be able to show Obama giving corporations more money than this,

Romney's Economic Plan Includes $6.6 Trillion Tax Cut For The Rich And Corporations | ThinkProgress

Can you show me how Obama gives corporations trillions of dollars?
Answer: No you can't (because republicans are the best friend that corporations have.)


Then you say Obama hates the poor and middle class. The following shows how republicans hate the poor and middle class.

1. republicans are against welfare for the poor.
2. republicans are against raising the min wage.
3. they are against earned income tax credits for poor workers.
4. They are against health care for all.
5. they are against helping middle class home foreclosure victims.
ex.ex.

Please explain to me how Obama hates the poor and middle class.

What did Obama do to show that he hates the poor and middle class?

Because they are whiners and phoneys, and they have the brass to claim to be patriots. They have basically done everything in their power to root against America since Obama came into office.

Why does that make it a fraud? Because they didn't protest Bush as much as Obama that makes them frauds? What kind of logic is that?

Because they are a bunch of selfish, self-righteous, self-serving ideological hacks.

The casual racism doesn't help, either.

If Republicans are able to re-write history they will blame 9-11 on Clinton, credit Bush with Bin Ladens death and Obama being at the watch when hurricane Katrina hit. By the way how about all the birtherism non-sense from the Tea Party.
They already do blame Clinton for 9/11. Another example, ask a conservative about Ruby Ridge and some of then will blame Clinton

3. They live in a completely different reality from the rest of us, including other Republicans--with their own media, their own mouthpieces, their own talking points. Talking to them (and I have Tea Party relatives) is like talking to a cult member. There is literally NO convincing them of anything that contradicts, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox News or Townhall. I don't even talk politics with my tea party relatives because it's pointless. Won't even bother. I will talk politics with plenty of Republicans though.
4. They have no respect for the will of the American people or the rule of law. In 2012, they lost the election and failed to gain the Senate (after their second attempt). Now they're staging a coup against the government in order to get rid of a law that was passed by congress, signed by the president, ratified by the Supreme Court and essentially voted on by the American people. And STILL, they will not respect that basic Constitutionally prescribed procedure.

Let's just say that I look forward to the day, 25 years from now, when I teach my students about American history, and I will tell them about a group of fanatics named the Tea Party, who nearly destroyed the country, who tried to undermine our sacred governmental institutions and our economy, and how moderate Republicans and Democrats stepped in and rescued the nation from plunging into that madness.

Trust me, these people will NOT be remembered well--even by other Republicans.
This.
The alternate universe thing particularly. I find it terrifying.

4) Irrational. The whole thing seems to be driven by nothing more than a heavy dose of hate and a total rejection of reality.
^^^ This.

And an alarming misunderstanding of the female reproductive system.
