GOP says it is necessary to spend my tax dollars to rebuild Iraq, |
|
but calls it a waste if they are used to rebuild the US.
They won't have any taxes because there won't be any jobs.

3. If you look at the demographics... |

Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 04:58 PM by Nicholas D Wolfwood
most of the Democratic party is comprised of the middle class. The Republican party meanwhile is comprised primarily of the upper class and the lower class.
So, they may or may not be bitching like hell, but more likely they've already ditched the party.
Edited to make some degree of fucking sense. I'm a tool.

This what happens when you type too fast because you're doing something else. Thanks for calling me out on it, but my point was that middle class is missing from the Republican party, which is why they're in such a world of hurt politically in the first place.

9. Aw, you're hardly a moron, or even a moran. |
|
But if the middle class is shrinking as much as people say, isn't that bad news for the Democrats?

Which, as unfortunate as it may be, with race and class so inextricably linked, that's why we're fortunate to be making in-roads in the hispanic community. That may be awful to say, and I wish like hell it WEREN'T true that the two (race and class) are linked, but from a politically pragmatic point of view, that's why they're an important bloc of voters for Democrats. With a shrinking middle class, the only way to combat it politically is to make in-roads elsewhere.

4. They've swallowed this "tax cut, tax cut, tax cut" BS without thinking |
|
about how much is being funneled into ratholes like Iraq instead of being used right here.
They have no trouble throwing it away on everyone but Americans.

6. weren't there a bunch of people screaming ... |
|
"Dear Mr. Bush: Please bomb (my city)!"
Of course, there are people screaming "Why are we spending billions of dollars sending go-karts to Mars?" (answer: If the Republicans get their way, that may be the only place where the human race may have left to survive.)
