Since the New Deal, Republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of
concern to ordinary Americans:
Social Security,
Medicare,
Medicaid,
The debt ceiling,
the war in Vietnam,
the war in Iraq
equal rights,
civil liberties,
church- state separation,
consumer issues,
public education,
reproductive freedom,
national health care,
labor issues,
gun policy,
campaign-finance reform,
the environment,
Immigration issues,
Election and voting issues,
American History,
The interpretation of our Constitution
GLBT issues,
and tax fairness.
And on almost every issue brought before the Supreme Court as of late, big
business/corporations have come out on top of ordinary citizens because justices
like Clarence Thomas take bribes (gifts) lol, and do not recuse themselves from
hearing cases where those involved have bribed his fat ass or recusing himself
from hearing cases for corporations who employ his bride Gin Gin.
Also, the Republicans seem to have only two motivations for what they do to this
nation, the desire for more power and more money with which they mostly use to
get themselves and other Republicans re-elected. They no longer even try to
hide their contempt for the majority of the citizenry as Citizens United gave
corporations person hood and the corporations, (the Republicans masters) and main constituency, can now
openly give as much bribe money as they want to rig elections and buy our
government for their own nefarious desires and deeds.
No political group or party could remain so consistently wrong
by accident. Their God is money and power and their means are evil.
The only rational conclusion I can come to is that, despite their cynical "family values"
propaganda, the Republican Party, with its fact challenged FOX/GOP Media along
with the Koch brothers, the Waltons, Wall Street, ALEC, The Banksters,the
Republican Chamber of Commerce and all of the other corporations and their
Republican operatives are a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the
American people in favor of plutocratic, corporate interests, and absolutist
religious groups.
It should be obvious to anyone who is paying attention and who uses facts in
their critical thinking rather than parroting propaganda talking points, that we
the people are under attack, the United States Government is working for and
doing the bidding of the corporations, the rich and powerful in our country.
The voice of the average American is ignored time and time again, as those with
the money, power and well funded lobby's take what they want even if that harms
the majority and causes pain and suffering for the masses. They have no
compassion, no conscience and no integrity. So let's look at some of the "So
whats" that the Republicans, their corporate benefactors and their many
operatives seem to say with their obvious lack of concern and their dastardly
actions each day.
Republicans, the corporations, the corporate media and the super wealthy basically say to the rest of us:
So what if you are homeless,
so what if you can't pay your bills,
so what if you can't feed your children,
so what if you can't see a doctor,
so what if you can't get needed medications,
so what if more and more people need food stamps,
so what if tax cuts for the rich causes earned benefits for the masses to be cut for many who
have worked hard and paid into the system for many years,
so what if someone who is white and wealthy and who steals 3 billion dollars
gets 40 months in jail while someone who is poor and black and steals a 100
dollar bill from a bank gets 15 years in prison,
so what if Unions are busted,
so what if unemployment is at 15-20%,
so what if tent cities are popping up all over this nation,
So what if you want a paper trail to verify the vote, it would be harder for us to steal elections that way,
so what if women are treated as second class citizens,
so what if Republicans are passing laws in states that they control to
disenfranchise voters,
so what if our elections are being rigged like the recent Kloppenburg/Prosser
vote in Wisconsin,
So what if we ship your jobs overseas,
So what if your job provides no benefits,
So what if people are suffering,
So what if people are dying,
So what if people are scared,
So what if they can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps,
So what if they chose that kind of life,
So what if they can't get contraception,
So what if they can't vote,
So what if we are liars,
So what if we are hypocrites,
So what if we seem psychotic and act like sociopaths,
So what if some of us are narcissists,
So what if most of us are millionaires,
So what if most of us get free health care,
So what if we'll all get pensions for life as we try to gut your Social Security,
So what if gas prices are high,
So what if the masses can't afford to buy food,
So what if people are living in their cars,
So what if people are angry,
So what if they don't like it,
So what, what can they do to me?,
So what they're not my children,
So what they're all lazy anyway,
So what, they'd rather collect unemployment than to work,
So What if they need,
So what if they cry,
So what if women don't want to be told what to do with their bodies,
So what if gays want to get married,
So what if illegal immigrants want a path to citizenship,
So what if you want gun control,
So what if you don't like our wars, get over it, we get rich from wars,
So what if some would rather die, then let them die and it will rid us of the surplus
population,
So what if they believe in God
So what if they can't afford infant formula and diapers,
So what if they can't find work,
So what if their meek and weak and crybabies,
So what if they can't make it,
So what if they don't like the cuts for the poor and the tax breaks for the
rich,
So what if families are breaking up,
So what if animals are being abandoned and killed in shelters,
So what if they are losing hope, our first priority is to make this President a
one term President,
So what if we default on our loans,
So what if our homes are foreclosed on,
So what if we cause most of the problems in this country, we still get elected or if we can't get elected we steal the election, don't like it? Too bad........whatcha gonna do about it America?
So what if we're kicked out of our apartments,
So what if we go into a double dip recession or even a depression,
So what if they don't like us, what can they do to us? We have the power and
the money and the powerful corporations on our side,
So what if major corporations don't pay any taxes,
So what if there are all kinds of tax loopholes for big business and
millionaires and billionaires where they pay little or no taxes,
So what if the teabaggers were our latest useful idiots,
So what if they're all screaming online about our criminal behavior,
So what if we torture,
So what if we spy on our own people,
So what if we hold people without trial,
So what if the justice system is unfair, life is unfair.
You see, Republicans just don't care about this country or about you and me.
There are really only 2% of the country the Republicans need, they don't
necessarily care about them, but they need them and they are the super wealthy,
the very wealthy, and the corporations. They also need the Supreme Court and a
dumbed down angry base and nation. They need some enabling from the Democrats
and a population too distracted, depressed, scared, poor or sick to do anything
about it. And finally, a corporate media to spread propaganda, lies, and
stories to the nation distracted and divided as they continue their march
forward destroying the lives of the majority to enhance the lives of themselves
and those at the top.
Those are just some of the "so whats" I have heard the Republicans either actually say or that they
have intimated to us, the majority, in words and dastardly deeds. They just don't care
because they think there is nothing we can do. They believe we are so
distracted by other things, that we won't take a stand as a country and as a
people for what is right. They think we're too stupid, too lazy and too beaten
down to rise up. Are they right?
Just open your eyes and take a close look at what the governors in Wisconsin,
Florida, Ohio, Arizona, Texas et al are doing to their states and you will see
the Republican plan, their grand vision for this entire nation if they should
get their chance either by winning the vote, or by most likely, stealing elections. Just recently
in Wisconsin, the Republicans with the help of Koch money, funded fake Democrats
to run against real democrats to try and stop the recall election from taking
place. Thankfully, they failed, but these people are playing for keeps and
Republicans will do and say anything to maintain power, keep their corporate
masters happy and further move this country in a direction where only a few will
have everything and the rest of us will be at the mercy of their psychotic rule.
