superb rant regarding republicans...
http://rants.adennak.com/repub.html

here's four paragraphs....

The enormous bulk of Republican money comes from powerful corperations that want to do things that will screw the general public out of their money. That's where the profit is, in fucking other peopleout of their cash. But unfortunately there happen to be a bunch of "laws and shit" that limit how badly large, powerful companies can fuck other people out of their money. So companies have to face a serious dilema. They could either come up with ways to make money that don't involve fucking people, or they could pay a small handful of men to change those laws. One of these two ways is much cheaper, easier, and requires no real thought. Guess which one.

Do you really think it's a coincedence that this country goes into the shitter, economically, every time it's under Republican leadership? What are the fucking odds that in the last 50-60 years, every Republican President has ushered in a period of increased unemployment and ever-mounting debt, just be sheer chance? Sure economic factors have something to do with it, but the honest truth is that any Republican President will do as much as he can to see that the very rich get even richer at an exponential rate. That's their number one goal.

And contrary to what anyone else tells you, when you help out the people on the top, the people on the bottom get the fucking shaft. When you relax labor laws, relax environmental standards, re-organize tax structures to the benefit of the wealthy, the poor take it right up the ass. The only thing that trickles down onto the poor is a river of piss.

But here's the problem. The number of people that Republicans actually serve is way too small to get them elected. Seriously, if you threw together the entire population of uber-rich that really benefit from Republican leadership into one state, you wouldn't even be able to get a Republican elected in Rhode Island. Republicans are hip to that fact, so they make sure to include a few extra groups in their political base. I'll identify them for you here, and if you're in one of them, you're an asshole.

..While it's true that Good Jobs and Health Care for all, followed by decent Schools and the happiness and welfare for the general population is important...We can't have all these Flag Burners and Queers gettin' Married and doing things that "Normal" folks do either...
