One clear truth : Republicans don't give a big shit about our country..
They could care less how much debt we have. They could care less if the poorest people don't get a minimum wage increase. They could care less how many troops die in Iraq. They could care less about "government". The only thing they care about is getting as much for themselves and their friends as their greedy paws can grab. I am convinced they don't give a shit about even the Republicans that follow them. They only care about the lies they can spread to get them to follow. They simply do not give a big shit about anybody else. End of story.

1. its aristocratic France before the revolution...
the aristocracy controlled all the wealth while the peasants starved, and they flat out didn't care.
Remember Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake?"

history repeats itself.

2. No doubt about it
but don't you mean "they could NOT care less?" And part of their attitude is fed by the "conservatives" in this country who blindly accept every lie; who are too proud to admit they are wrong and have been wrong all along but might just be having a difficult time in those private moments when they look in the mirror and then pick up the paper and read about another American being slaughtered in Iraq because their hero lied.

3. They're having their hat handed to them in the house now.
The Dems are doing the best job I've seen in a long time in exposing their "immoral agenda." Actually saying it. McDermott just called the estate tax and minimum wage debate the theater of the absurd.

Of course, its not easy to make sound bits of these speeches, so MSM will likely ignore.

4. They *do* care about "country" when the word "club" comes after it.

just as disgusting are the lemmings who vote republican because they are soooo afraid of the democrats - aiding and abetting the war on labor, women, children, public schools, social security, in short helping move the country to a country for the very very rich and the very very poor, with very very little in between.

8. These people, and I have them in my own family, have plenty of $
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 01:13 PM by acmejack
and I am continually amazed how they constantly bitch about taxes. They worry about ten dollars on a bill. You are absolutely right, that is exactly what led to me now sending this pie chart on all my correspondence. They don't even care about their friends, it is every man for themselves.

12. Sad but true. Rove knows how to push the buttons of short sighted citizens
by throwing 'em red-meat wedge issues to chew on.

13. It all gets back to the sad fact that we have a woefully
uninformed voting constituency. That's what Thomas Jefferson warned us about.

10. It's all about greed. However, their short sightedness is failing
to show them that they are "killing the goose that lays the golden egg". When America is in shambles, no one to buy the manufactured goods, no middle class to steal from, large numbers of elderly and poor dead from starvation and/or the lack of medical attention, the dollar deflated to 1 tenth of the current value, what are they going to do with their worthless hoards of dollars, while living in a Country that has collapsed into a shabby, theocratic/military dictatorship?

Will they then blame themselves for their participation in the looting and overthrow? No. They will find scapegoats. Its their way. We are talking about philosophical morons, wallowing in the fires of their own arrogant stupidity. The big problem is that we are all suffering from their transgressions.
