In GOP Land - No Right To Food, Health Care Or Shelter -

Lest we forget, the quote about no right to food or health care much less shelter is the eliminated part of the Romney quote. If voters in this country support that idea, then we are no longer a decent country. Abandoning the vulnerable and disabled to fend for them selves is about as unAmerican as they can get.

Guaranteeing that there will be huge inequality in the country and the less fortunate will be completely abandoned is just so incomprehensible. Accepting that rhetoric is incomprehensible to me. Labeling the sick, the disabled, the poor and people who have paid for their benefits as takers should be mocked off the stage of legitimate debate.

We might as well take down our flag if that is what we have become. It is a meaningless symbol. And our military is defending a mirage.

a lot of what they will do that is hidden. They will engage in a pogrom and a purge of the poor. And they will demonize them even more. These guys are mean enough given all the power just to stop them abruptly. The smell blood and want blood. And they believe they are immune from backlash from that segment. And they will use force to keep them in line.

I know what I am saying sounds over the top, but look deeply into ALL their rhetoric no matter how low a level it comes from. Romney is a devil probably worse than Reagan.
