Mitt Romney won't "bail-out" Europe

but is ready and willing to go to war with Iran.

Ever wonder what kind of shit-hole world this would be had FDR listened to the Repukes back in the 1940s?

I think that's the point that needs to be made. The "effing" Repuke's arguments and policies haven't changed in 70 years...hell, they really haven't changed in 140 years.

- Social Security was "welfare" to Repukes in the 1930's...and it's "welfare" to them now!

- The GI Bill was "welfare" to Repukes in the 1940's...and it's "welfare" to them now!

- Woman's Suffrage was "big government overreach" to them in the 1900's...and it's "big government overreach" to them now!

- The 40 hour work week was going to "kill" business in the 1950's...and it's going to "kill" business now!

- Safety regulations were going to destroy the "job creators" in the 1940's...and it's going to destroy them now!

- 70% tax rate on the top 1% was going to "kill the economy" in the 1950's...and 35% is going to "kill the economy" now!

- Civil Rights were a "states issue" in the 1960s...and they're a "states issue" now!

- Rescuing Europe was going to destroy America in the 1930s...$4 Billion dollars a day in Iraq and Afghanistan is "National Security" now!

How the American people can be so uninformed, as to follow a party that has "repeatedly" and "demonstrably" been proven to be so completely wrong throughout the course of history, is beyond my ability to comprehend.

You would think, that after 100 years of simply pulling policies and arguments out of their collective ass, the American people would be able to identify "shit from shinola", but...I guess hating blacks, woman and gays trumps common sense and facts.

To support these ass-hats, you'd have to think; "Yeah, you're right Repukes...the real problem in America is that the common man and worker have too much power."

The "Job-creators" have hired us to dig our own fucking graves for minimum wage and no benefits...and at least 50.1% of us spend our time happily digging away!

Hey T-baggers! Want to turn your miserable lot in life around? Then help us get Union membership back to 30%...AND WATCH WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS

1. not surprising

he didn't want to bail out detroit either

2. Idiots think

that it is only Union members who will see their pay and benefits reduced.

Hey T-Baggers, they aren't destroying Unions because they think you need a raise...they're destroying Unions to ensure they can pay YOU shit wages with no benefits.

If a "rising tide lifts all boats", how is taking money out of your neighbor's pocket lifting the tide.

3. History

repigs didn't want to go to war in 1941. FIERCELY.

Pearl Harbor "changed" their minds - but they still hated FDR with the fury that a bunch of inbred idiots (who all benefited from FDR's programs) could muster.

5. History II

No one wanted to go to war before Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt won the 1940 election with the following slogan "I will not send American boys into any foreign wars."

4. I hate to say this (I really do), but in the 1960s,

there was tremendous opposition to the Civil Rights Act by Southern Democratic Senators (21 out of 67 Democratic Senators voted against it, nearly all from the South). On the other hand, 27 Republicans voted for the legislation, and only 6 voted against it. But that was back in the 1960s, when Republicans weren't as wacked out as they are today.

6. That's true

and then what happened is the Republican Party welcomed the racist Dixiecrats with open arms...and they've spent the last 50 years fighting a pseudo "Race War".

A war, BTW, that they are winning.

People mocked me when I said in 2008 that we "needed to permanently destroy the Repuke Party". We had them on the ropes and instead of pounding the shit out of them until they were a festering bloody pulp relegated to the farthest margins of power, we threw them a lifeline in the form of "bi-partisanship"

7. That's right, the Republicans started welcoming the Dixiecrats

and by 1972, Nixon was using the "Southern strategy" to appeal to the bigots who had been outraged by the Civil Rights Act (I think that's what Ronald Reagan was alluding to when he said that the Democratic Party had left him).
