18. They will continue to promote abstinence only policies..
and prop McCain's Folly and her family up there as their poster girl and cheerleader.

It's truly bizarro world that we have stepped into.

8. Me too. What about their faith based initiative schemes........
.....and church based community outreach?

And all the charitable organizations the super wealthy WOULD fund if we just stopped taxing them (a freeper told me that once).

5. Yeah, that will NOT go over well with the Hillary supporters.

Many of whom are hard working low paid (or no paid) community organizers.

7. The GOP believes any kind of charity or community action
done simply out of the decency of ones heart, is beneath them.

9. They can't find anything specifically wrong with it, so they use an
old school 1950's commie scare kind of insinuation. It works with the sort of mentally challenged individuals in attendance at that thing.

10. The GOP appeals to the baser, ignorant nature of the human mind.

15. What's even worse than that
Is that much of Obama's community organizing was done within the Trinity UCC church community. Since when are Republicans opposed to "faith based organizations"?

Or does that only work when they're right wing churches pushing Republican doctrines?

19. They just preach it, they don't practice it..
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 10:39 AM by Virginia Dare
but in answer to your question YES. It's also a subject for disdain when a poor black teen gets pregnant out of wedlock, it's a thing to be embraced and celebrated when it's your white V.P. nominee's kid.

16. The Republicans cut social programs from government budgets
and say that community organizations will pick up the slack. Then they mock community organizers.

It's clear that Republicans are (1) stupid, and (2) want all poor people to simply die.
