Can someone help me understand middle and lower class Republicans? They seem to?
actually believe that their senators and congresspeople care about them and their lives, health and tax increases. Republicans let our jobs go overseas, our boys and girls go overseas to fight an unjust war, our "working man safety measures" (pensions, insurance, even our savings accounts--in corrupt banks) lapse and be forgotten--all to benefit the heads of huge corporations who already have more money than the Creator--NOT to benefit their constituents. What are these regular citizens thinking when they laud and honor and speak up for these Reps?
EDIT: The war in Iraq IS unjust and illegal as it was based on the lies of Pres. Bush about WMD. And, yes, there WAS approval of it--by people who were duped by phony intel and lies! Halliburton and Chaney are some of the very few who received anything "good" out of this fiasco.
EDIT: idogene has the right answer!
EDIT: Agnes, I see you have some very interesting ideas. Perhaps you should run for office. You sound like so many of today's "leaders". (Nothing constructive whatsoever to say.) Too bad you have the same name as my mother--you certainly don't sound like her!

I could spit some long list of problems right back at Democrats. All about wasting tax payer money and giving handouts to people and making them dependent on the government. When it comes down to it both side are only interested in staying in office. They are going to make claims on what they think both sides want to hear. They both do good things and they both do bad things. There are times when having a democrat in office is better than a republican and there are times when having a republican in office is better than democrat. To say that one sides ideologies work 100% of the time is foolish.

Now they are trying to save their hides by granting amnesty to millions of illegals after all is said and done about health care reform. Ahh! But I do speak spanish.
Oh yeah! I forgot to mention! How much of our Military has Obama (your chosen one) sent off to Afghanistan when he ran on an anti-war platform? What 13,000?! I believe it was that, if not more!
EDIT: Hey tired trucker! If you live in California You will realize that some of their laws on truckdrivers suck! Hey, if you are in Hesperia, I would not mind buying you a beer. I have family that are truckers, or were.

in case you ever questioned what facet of the fence you sit down on, it incredibly is a great try! If a Conservative would not like weapons, he would not purchase one. If a Liberal would not like weapons, he needs all weapons outlawed. If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he would not consume meat.. If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he needs all meat products banned for absolutely everyone. If a Conservative is gay, he quietly leads his existence. If a Liberal is gay, he demands legislated comprehend. If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks approximately the thank you to extra useful his challenge. A Liberal wonders who is going to look after him. If a Conservative would not like a verbal substitute instruct host, he switches channels. Liberals call for that those they do unlike be close down. If a Conservative is a non-believer, he would not pass to church. A Liberal non-believer needs any point out of God and faith silenced. (except it incredibly is a foreign places faith, of path!) If a Conservative makes a decision he desires wellness care, he is going approximately paying for for it, or would decide for a activity that provides it. A Liberal demands that something human beings pay for his. If a Conservative reads this, he will forward it so his friends could have a reliable snicker. A Liberal will delete it because of the fact he's "offended".

I am employed by a large corporation. Their customers are also large corporations. When we wage war against their profits, it hurts my employer's customers, which hurts my employer, which hurts me. When my employer can't find freight to put in my trailer, I end up sitting not making any money. And as I drive around the country, more and more of my employer's customers are disappearing, leaving nothing behind but empty buildings. When times were good, I got raises. This year, I had to take a pay cut just in order to keep my job. I make less now than when they hired me ten years ago. Do I blame them? No. There are other trucking companies with lower paid drivers than me, and my employer had to cut their rates to compete. The bottom line, what's good for the corporations, is good for me. A government that wages war against corporations and profit, is bad for me and affects my ability to earn money.
Do you understand it now?

In the health insurance speeches in the House today, they (conservatives) didn't mention a single American's need for health insurance. All they have talked about is the profits of the corporations. It's astonishing how disconnected they are from middle-class life in America.

Republicans ship our jobs oversees? I believe NAFTA, the source of this mess was proposed and passed by Dem. Bill Clinton. Get your facts straight before you ask stupid questions.
Say what you want about banks, but you fail to mention the money sucking unions that have ran American Industries into the ground with their demanding salaries and ridiculous strikes.

My Senators and congresspeople are all Democrats, so I do NOT think they have my best interests at heart.

Republicans send people off to fight unjust wars?
Is it Truman and the Korean war or LBJ and the Vietnam war to which you refer?

They really think that by being loyal to such lovable guys like Dick bin Cheney and Boss Limbaugh that when the party becomes a dictatorship they will be rewarded! Really! If that ever happens, they'll be in the retraining camps just like the rest of us.

Republicans, most of them that I know work, and if great numbers of them are on welfare it is because this Democrat administration, took there jobs, homes, their faith in America, so that CHANGE could take place. They are screwing with our children's minds, trying to destroy our faith in GOD, you can have the people that call themselves Democrats. One poster stated that there is a difference between RUNNING and RUINING this country.
