What the GOP seems to claim as their solutions to our are as follows: A budget that doesn't reduce the deficit (at least, according to non-GOP sources) and increases defense spending. They will not even discuss our defense spending. As if our military is so bad at our jobs, they have to spend 10x more than any other country to compensate for it. The promise that they will protect the Rich and also Powerful Global Corporations. Because you know, that's who really needs protecting. Seriously, only Americans are stupid enough to buy that one. They'll create jobs by lowering the corporate tax rates. Because Zero is too much. And the reason companies ship jobs from the USA - where they pay 17% of average - to India - where the rate is 33%, has to do with taxes. It's not that India has an average income of $2 a day, no labor or environmental laws to speak of etc... No. It's that attractive 33% tax rate that has Raja answering the phone whenever I call tech support. Riiight. Oh, and they've made it clear they'll fight the Dems on closing the loopholes that make it advantageous to ship our jobs overseas. Because if we protect our jobs here, all the companies in the world will leave the largest consumer base they have. Riiiight. The promise they will fight Dodd-Frank and make sure the banks that took us in the toilet, remain Too Big To Fail. They'll get rid of the mortgage deduction for the Middle Class (at least according to Boehner and Cantor, this would be a good thing). That way, the only way it's worth buying a house, is if you're a corporation. Then, once the corporations own the entire country, they can raise the rents. Peachy. They will get rid of planned parenthood and increase the number of welfare moms. Wonderful. They will make sure we don't have any more of those terrible regulations that hurt business. You know, like upgrading equipment used in The Gulf on oil rigs. Or making sure that CitiBank doesn't have to worry about getting in trouble when they commit fraud. Or BofA can go ahead and illegally foreclose on our troops while their overseas. They'll protect me from two women getting married in Iowa. Because that's um, scary. Maybe Marcus Bachmann can pray the gayness out of them for me. Really, how the hell did this become so important? They'll attack Iran. Whose military hasn't been reduced to zero through years of sanctions like Iraq was. Whose military is ten times bigger and better equipped than any military in the region. Because what we really need is another war in the Middle East - while lowering taxes - because that worked out so well for us last time. WTF people? Obama sure hasn't been great but the GOP has tried SO HARD to make him / the Dems look good by comparison, it's a no-brainer. Liberals may now discuss the points and ConservaRepubs may now ignore them, change the subject, sling some labels and the usual...
Says an opinionated Right wing spinner! This should summarize most of it. . .even if the exact words are not found:
Mitt Romney's plan to cut regulations, repeal Dodd Frank, and amend Sarbanes-Oxley (aka the Enron law) Here's the story about stripping federal funding from planned parenthood. And as for favoring big business: [video=youtube;5YzRyhRpod0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YzRyhRpod0[/video]
Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley, while implementing many worthwhile regulations have done little to deal with the core issues pertaining to the banking side that led to the financial crisis. Derivatives and securities are still largely unregulated. The intuitive machinations manifesting from failed financial economic models are still employed by banks such as value at risk, and its sub-components normal distribution of risk and efficient markets. Lastly, subprime mortgages can still be created. The only differences from before the crisis is that it may be easier to identify flaws in this complex financial system, and capital requirements have been escalated. However, understanding the unreliability of economic models used to predict trends in the economy, it is certain that such flaws will continue to be discovered well after the point of no return.
LOL! No worries. So, now that you've been owned by others in this thread (Sorry, some of us have businesses to run so we're not here every minute), you'll Cut & Run. Sorry to blow up your Right Wing kool-aid. Oh and just in case you don't feel sufficiently spanked with your little "If I don't get a link in 30 seconds, it didn't happen!" prattle, here's more just for you! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/04/28/states-fight-defunding-planned-parenthood/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...ff-pentagon-cuts-with-social-program-savings/ http://www.thedeal.com/content/regu...ives-fight-on-dodd-frank-carried-interest.php And if you aren't aware that the GOP has been making issues of things like gay marriage, well um, hmmm.
Actually you may be correct or not. I just like to make people do their homework. While you were scouring the internet trying to prove me wrong I was sitting back drinking a beer and playing video games.
LOL! Scouring? You mean the 30 seconds it took to go on FOX? Um yeah, okay. So in the meantime, while i can prove everything I've claimed about the faults of the GOP, you can dodge the issues, change the subject and offer, well, what do they call the GOP the party of, nowadays? Oh yeah. Zero. )
Well wont you be voting for whomever media matters tells you too anyways? I mean clearly Media Matters is where all your opinions are formed.....judging by the prime cut of class A bullsheet you just espoused. Mitt Romeny is the "Centrist"..."The Moderate".....that the Left whines for......that the Right detests...... .....and yet here you are denouncing the middle and advocating for The Extreme Whack Job Left--Barack Obama.......unreal. . . .
I've heard folks say it's the party of "no." Reminds me of what Reagan said about unhealthy indulgences, sometimes it's best to "just say no."
So let's see. Hmmm. What did I predict? Oh yeah: "Liberals may now discuss the points and ConservaRepubs may now ignore them, change the subject, sling some labels and the usual... " So far we have seven posts by ConservaRepubs and none of them are able to tackle a single issue, as was expected. Now the really WEAK among them always do the same thing that badmutha was kind enough to display. Since badmutha gets all his opinions from the RW Thought Masters and zero deviation is tolerated, he assume that I must be the same as he. Which is laughably and easily disproven. But the words in red were so easy to predict and now prove. Thanks for proving me right, guys!
