Reply #56: b/c it's bullshit [View All]

because republican economic policies are why we have this mess now.

because republicans' "all war all the time" policies are why we are weaker, militarily, than we were. why we LOST the support of the world after 9-11. why we have destabilized the m.e. and made life hell for people in that region - and it didn't start with Junior, of course.

because the republicans have pandered to IDIOTS who have made this nation a laughingstock in regard to science, education, sexual rights, health and information - this is the group of people who have told the rest of us it's not our country if we're not talibornagains. and why have the republican "mainstream" done this? BECAUSE THEY CANNOT WIN ON THE MERITS OF THEIR POLICIES so they have to pander to assholes.

this is the party that has had an apocalyptic vision of the world since McCarthy.

this is the party that has looted the treasury for Halliburton. who has tried to privatize the fucking military and outsource it to a religious right whacko with no oath to defend the Constitution - but who is paid by Cheney and his fucking minions.

this is a party THAT REFUSED to bring the president and vp and cabinet under the authority of the U.S. Constitution. ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING LONG BEFORE 9-11.

this is the party that stripped oversight from all areas of industry - and we now get to live with the shitty results.

the party that stole an election in a coup in 2000. with Scalia who said (in a speech online called God's Justice and Ours) that DEMOCRACY IS THE PROBLEM and "the enlightenment" is the problem when it comes to dealing with the death penalty.

We can unite across the aisle by letting the republicans admit their philosophy is bankrupt, along with the economy. We can unite by republicans defecting to the democratic party - not by hijacking the democratic party.

HEAR ME

do not try to hijack the democratic party b/c you republicans are worthless.

HEAR ME. The divisions in this nation will not be healed by expecting those of us who were RIGHT about issues over and over to eat a shit sandwich of republican ideology disguised as "reaching across the aisle."

I honestly cannot believe that you can even bring up this bullshit. Let Hagel run with Bob Barr as an independent.

If a republican is on the democratic ticket, I fucking give up on this nation. I give up. Just when I thought I had reason to hope. Just when I had given up all hope. I guess I better step up on sending out those resumes to other nations. I had been focusing on the U.S. and thought I could also campaign for Obama. That will not happen if he chooses a republican as a vp.
