Is the Republican Party on the totally wrong side of history?

Billions have been spent on right wing propaganda by the billionaires who want to make Americans think government and government spending is the problem when it's really not. The real problem is the lack of believe that we as a nation can solve our problems thru our government that exists only by the consent of the governed.

We as a nation agreed with Obama that the rich have had it too good for too long and their excesses screwed over the 99%. It's their turn to start paying back the money they exploited. It's not going to take a year or too, but it took 30 years of Reaganomics to get us here and it's going to take 30 years of high taxes on the rich to get us back in line so we can all grow and prospe

    Bat-**** insane, or just retarded?

    YOUR individual share of what D.C. spent last year is over $12,000 and it DID come OUT of the economy you're trying to make a living in. Spending IS the problem, in as much as YOU and YOUR KIDS have to pay for it.

    You are literally 100% certain you cannot begin to fathom an explanation for HOW "the rich" have "exploited" you. Your owner said it so you HAVE TO believe and repeat it. It really is that simple and you know it.

    "30 years of Reaganomics" hasn't existed. We did it for a while a few times and keep interrupting it with Democrat policy. Speaking of which, if you are in fact sane, you should ask yourself why your owner "blames" Republicans ONLY for what happened after Democrats got control? You won't.

    It's typically only neoconservatives who are far right-wing that are on the wrong side of history.

    The republican party is dominated by neoconservatives, who tend to be very old-fashioned, outdated, and flat-out authoritative and ideological. But there are many types of conservatives out there, including moderate-conservatives, conservative-democrats, libertarians, conservative libertarians, etc... There are various types, and not all conservatives are the typical authoritarian, angry, victim card playing Fox News conservative.

    We 47 percent did not agree to any such thing. And you forgot 8 yrs of Clinton. Hint: The rich do not have to live here.

    No...they are either really rich or they are very stupid sheep that want to line up for the rich corporations to be slaughtered.

    These dumb sheep love being impoverished just so they can be treated like good little lambs by the rich.

    You are a complete and utter fool if you believe that the rich corporations don't have a large influence on Obama.

    I hope one day you will be able to see past that and realize that Obama is nothing but a corporate owned imperialist just like the last couple of presidents.

    Bongo won 28% of eligible voters. That does not an overwhelming majority make.

    It’s now 16.4 trillion…$52,000 for every man, woman and child

    ______________________________________…

    “The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents -- number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child,”

    “That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic,”

    Obama (July, 2008)
