Why do Republicans hate the citizens of the United States of America?

Why do they always favor their profit-gouging, tax-dodging Medical-Drug Industrial Complex Corporate Overlords, Inc. rather than the real human beings who are Americans?

If you get sick die quickly. Paging Dr. Kevorkian, set up those damned "Death Panels' the Repubs, are so keen for. Ryan wants the 47% out of the way.

He only cares about the 1%.

While most Republicans want to drastically cut back healthcare coverage, Paul Ryan is committed to it above all else. Paul Ryan will not stop until Medicare is gone.

I'm not Catholic, but listening to the coverage of the new pope and his concern for the poor. I think Paul Ryan is Catholic.
How do Catholics justify supporting Ryan's policies?

During the campaign, condemning the Ryan budget.

A faith-based lesson for Paul Ryan
http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-04-27/opinions/35451432_1_ryan-budget-paul-ryan-catholic-leaders

A week after Ryan’s boast, the bishops sent letters to Congress saying that the Ryan budget, passed by the House, “fails to meet” the moral criteria of the Church, namely its view that any budget should help “the least of these” as the Christian Bible requires: the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the jobless. “A just spending bill cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor and vulnerable persons,” the bishops wrote.

With the amount of wealth controlled by the top 1/10 of the top 1% ... they really don't have to be "careful". They can say and do whatever they want.

Bush expressed the GOP mantra most eloquently during his second term campaign.


Bush is now said to have told lawmakers at that same meeting that he has a “devious plan”

They had the house budget committee on. Democratic committee members were talking about the impact of the 'voucherization' of Medicade on the oldest of the old, the most vulnerable adults. And then they cut to Ryan, and he had this nasty smirk on his face.

This is a guy who WANTS to see the elderly suffer!

Actually, I'd always thought Romney looked like the newscaster Muppet, as well.
