Republicans Throw America Under the Bus for Political Gain

I know some of you will enjoy this. Is it really true that Republicans voted against the Pay As You Go bill? Oh wait, never mind. Yes they did. How cynical. That is some record to run on.

Republicans Throw America Under the Bus for Political Gain

When you add up everything the Republicans have done since the Democrats have been in charge, a picture of party before country begins to emerge based on the facts on the ground. It is one thing to politically position your party for future elections, but, does that include throwing the country and the American people under the bus? I guess it does, if you are an Extremist Republican, Right-Wing Conservative or a Tea Party Activist (something for nothing). Even semi-moderate Republicans are being pushed-out of the GOP as we speak.

Filibustering Un-employment Benefits Extension - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are ignorant about what really stimulates the economy.

Filibustering Federal Appointments - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are purposely sabotaging the United States ability to manage day to day operations of your government.

Filibustering Small Business Loans - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans only believe in incentives for big special interests, wealthy campaign donors and all the GOP rhetoric about small business is a bunch of BS when push comes to shove on congressional votes.

Filibustering Congressional Budget Deficit Commission - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are long on centrist deficit rhetoric, but, secretly want to cut popular programs like Social Security and Medicare, but, do not have the political guts to publicly make their case in front of the American people and potentially loose up-n-coming elections due to unpopular ideas they will address when and if they ever become the majority party again.

No Vote on Financial Reform & Consumer Protection - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are for big business and not consumer protection, meaning they do not care what happens to Americans buying suspect financial products or being over-charged financial fees by corporations.

No Vote on Health-care Reform - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are for big insurance companies and could care less about Americans suffering and dying.

No Vote on Equal Pay for Equal Work - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans are for corporations and have a gender gap against woman in the American work place.

No Vote on Woman's Rights with Defense Contractors Overseas - Not only is this proof that male Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that male Republicans do not value woman's security when they voted against a female defense contractors right to sue the company in court instead of settling for arbitration, they voted against a rape victim's right to face her accuser in a court of law with a jury.

No Vote on Pay as You Go - Not only is this proof that Republicans in congress put party before country. It also demonstrates that Republicans really do not care about cutting the federal budget, but, will scare Americans into thinking they do care.

Floating more Tax-Cuts without Paying for them, Again - Both Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) and Rep. Beohner (R) are making statements that the George W. Bush tax-cuts they passed in congress as majority leaders of the senate and House of Representatives need to be continued in order to stimulate the economy. Which were not paid for and contributed to 573 Billion dollars of our current 1.3 trillion dollar federal deficit, the other part of the federal budget deficit was wars in Afghanistan and Iraq the Republicans never paid for in the federal budget, plus the prescription drug benefit they did not fund either. Putting the Republican in congress in charge of the federal budget deficit is insane if we think a different result will happen this time around. The good news is President Obama will veto any financially reckless GOP legislation, unlike Bush.

Cutting taxes does not generate revenue to pay down the federal budget, it actually cost more money in the long-run.

In time the Republican party will be so far to the right they will be bringing guns to political rallies, disrupting congressional town hall meetings, bragging this will be the presidents Waterloo defeat that brings down his presidency, calling the president of the United States a liar in public or defacing the office of the president with Nazi Hitler/racial signs. Oh, wait. They are already doing all of that.

Basically, the Republican party has lost control of what it means to govern the country and up hold the constitution as elected representatives of all their constituents.

The only thing Republicans care about is the next election.

* Not you, not me.

They will say anything, but, do nothing they say.

I thought Republicans were in favor of Pay As You Go? Please explain this vote for us.

[killerweed420]

I wish they'd fillibuster more.

According to speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi welfare checks are stimulus too. LMAO.

Watch Obama pile on more debt.......on top of Bush's.....shit Obama's already pissed away more money than all the presidents combined.

These folks are finished. You can see the hyperventilating and panic already starting.....its fun to watch and read.

[oldhaole]

So why bother? There is an ignore button here.


He/She will never answer a question. Its like the drone of a Faux News Corpse. Spin, Dodge, Lie, and make shit up. When it gets its hand caught in the cookie jar, ignore, and change the subject.


Logical behavior. It can't stand on its own merits. It has none. It exists to feed itself and anybody stupid enough to believe it. Think lowest common denominator.


It exists, but removing it's presence from the screen is but a click away. The majority already have.


I understand tweaking it every once and a while is fun. I can't resist sometimes. But it is like feeding a dog from the table.... if you make a habit of it the dog will be always sit there and expect it.


Do the humane thing.... Don't feed the dog.

Where's IslandBorn?? I wanna hear what he has to say to this topic?? any rebuttal? mmm. I am following this thread!

That is god damn poetry right there. Everyone should be giving oldhaole reps for that post. Everyone.

But listen, I like the exercise that a dumb dog provides. I also like to see how many times I can get a dog to fetch before it grows tired. It's a bit like having a laser pointer. OK, sit Islandboy, sit. Good dog.

I know you're right. I'm hitting the ignore option. I'm traveling for danm near six weeks straight after next week and I won't have much time for this site at that point. I get more satisfaction out of helping people anyway so I'll try to keep up with that side.

OK I added Mr. Cut 'n Splice to my ignore list. This site just feels cleaner now.

[RedLocks]

He/She will never answer a question.

yeah that shit bugs me out, sometimes reminds me of a IRC bot :wtf:

[Islandborn]

Good riddance.....typical liberal. If you "Mr. Professional Picture taker" can prove that I magically cut and spliced your words anywhere I encourage you to do so.....I also invite the mods to investigate this big babies accusations......and we'll just see when and where I mysteriously cut and spliced your sentences....its all a big vast right wing conspiracy huh. Do like Gypski and ignore stuff you dont like......how media like of you lol. Don't like other opinions.....just stick your fingers in your ears like a 6 year old child. How progressive lmao.

Now.....for this moronic thread.....oh how short minded ye are Biggie. On November 6th of last year President Obama said.....and I quote "Now it's important to note that bill I signed will NOT add to our deficit. It is fully paid for, and so it's fiscally responsible." SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, EIGHT MONTHS ago, he said paying for the benefits was the right thing to do, but now, however, he sees no need to so? Thus RAISING an already SKYROCKETING DEFICIT. Good Job Mr President. What a change.

It matters not......unemployment will still be at 10% in November right around Thanksgiving when this issue comes up again.
