The Republican Agenda
Edited on Thu May-26-11 07:32 PM by Cyrano
Can’t find a job? – Screw off.

Need food for your family? – Screw off.

Need medical help or prescriptions? – Screw off.

Need a roof over your head? – Screw off.

Having problems with your veteran’s benefits? -- Screw off.

Can’t breathe because you helped clean up Ground Zero? – Screw off.

Elderly or disabled and having trouble making ends meet? – Screw off.

Non-white, non-Christian and not of European descent? -- Screw off.

White, Christian, of European descent and not wealthy? – Screw off.

Need government help? – Screw off.


The Dems used to defend these things. But they’ve lost their way and become Republican Lite. So what are we going to do about it? Beats me. We can go on putting up with it. Or we can just lie down and die. Any other options?

4. people think they mean screw you to someone else (not them).
what they don't realize, and won't realize until they find themselves in a situation where they may need some help or something.

6. Republicans are EXPERT at getting people to vote against their best interests...
Edited on Thu May-26-11 07:20 PM by lib2DaBone
Any improvement in Health Care, Education or Employment.. Republicans convince the masses that these improvements are "Socialism"

Then, they beat the war drums and thump the Bible to get the mindless drones to vote for endless war and nation building.

All-the-while... our roads are collapsing at home, kids are going hungry in school, teachers are being laid off and more jobs are shipped to China. China... BTW, has warned that they will kick our ass if we don't stop dropping drones in Pakistan. Mr. Obama.. are U listening?

Heard on the CNN radio on the way home tonight. They are going to cut Military Pay.. from the already Paltry levels.

It's going to be hard to convince kids to sign up to lose an arm or leg in Afghanistan... with no benefits and reduced pay? No?

Maybe the USA should stop promoting world-wide war, and start to rebuild at home.

Ya Think? Nahhh.. won't happen... the Corporations are making the rules.. and they LOVE the war profits.

7. Republicans and their puppet masters
have always been experts at playing the Us vs THEM game. Maybe someday folks will realize that US is THEM.

8. Those who haven't yet "gotten" it, never will. I think dumb might be a disease.
