One that protects the rich and powerful with policies designed to make those folks richer, and the other that panders to those who aren't rich and powerful with social, not economic, issues. The worker classes are continually misled into believing they and the rich are birds of feather because they speak the same social issue language. Yet republican policy is to strip away every safety net, worker voice, and economic benefit that help average citizens. Never, ever do you hear how much doing away with safety nets will increase your bottom line, and how you will benefit. <br /><br />Scott Walker's solution to economic disparity is to do away with the minimum wage and replace it with hope. Same for Bush. Let's replace welfare with aspiration. "Hey, don't worry if you can't feed the kids and pay the rent, just live on hope, aspiration, and get a great education."<br /><br />Keep the masses poor and stupid and they can be controlled. People who are worried about just trying to survive don't have time to worry about the rich. Through anything at them to keep them stirred up so they won't focus on the disparity between their lives and the super-wealthy. Why does Rush Limbaugh care about water on Mars? He doesn't. He couldn't give a damn one way or another. It's just another talking point to keep his followers focused on something other than how pornographic wealth has become in this nation.<br /><br />I am not so naive as to believe liberals don't have their own agendas and also protect the rich. But republicans have nothing but utter contempt for average Americans. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02279964051995739012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-66169252851035669762015-09-28T17:27:28.743-08:002015-09-28T17:27:28.743-08:00Jeb Bush is as nasty as they come.

That's what happened with Obama - he couldn't do "Hope and Change" fast enough for his rabid supporters, so he disappointed them. The same thing will happen with Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Sometimes the Far Left is as stupid as the Far Right when looking at how policy gets done and how campaign policies are not able to be translated into action.<br /><br />I think Obama has been - for the most part - an excellent president, but I know way too many Dems who were "disappointed" in him. "He didn't close Gitmo" and other things he couldn't do caused him to lose some of his die-hard supporters. It's a damn shame for us to expect miracles from our leaders who stir up the passion in us.phoebes in santa fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083814964836187823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-62017731524579798482015-09-28T15:53:38.744-08:002015-09-28T15:53:38.744-08:00Rand Paul Unveils Harebrained Scheme To Blame Demo...Rand Paul Unveils Harebrained Scheme To Blame Democrats For Government Shutdown <br /><br />http://www.politicususa.com/2015/09/28/rand-paul-plan-blame-democrats-shutting-govt-planned-parenthood.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-2394963307208301562015-09-28T15:42:31.408-08:002015-09-28T15:42:31.408-08:00@ 1:47 You must have read about a different plan t...@ 1:47 You must have read about a different plan than I did.

House Republicans are targeting both this week with an obscure procedural move that could finally advance opposition bills to President Barack Obama's desk.<br /><br />The procedure is called budget reconciliation, and legislation advanced that way cannot be filibustered in the Senate, is subject only to limited amendments and needs only simple majority votes to pass, according to House and Senate rules.<br /><br />It would then be up to Obama to veto the measures, which he would be all but certain to do. But the process would move two cherished GOP goals through the Senate, pushing them further than they've ever gotten before.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gop-republicans-obamacare-planned-parenthood_560965d2e4b0768126fe3f35Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-33288466388579350852015-09-28T13:31:48.486-08:002015-09-28T13:31:48.486-08:00I firmly believe this, AJ, you are not alone!I firmly believe this, AJ, you are not alone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
