These kinds of statement just show how effective the con has become. Getting people to vote against their own financial interests and support the billionaire's tea party. |

That phrasing about the average Republican supporting billionaires became old in it's redundancy about four years ago. The bus driver, from the bankrupt city of Detroit, is tired of working for a living and seeing his taxes from his meager earnings spread around by the equalizers. He probably is tempted to become a democrat, quit his job and apply for food stamps and welfare. Why should he be the only Republican in Detroit who is working for a living? |

The GOP do represents the interests of the rich and the powerful. Theyget a bunch of the non rich and powerful to vote for them by exploiting prejudices, bias and fears. A good example is the attitude that those getting food stamps and unemployment are just lazy. They would be bad mouthing all those dead beats on social security too, if it weren't for the fact the geezers are their main audience for the BS they are spreading.

Also a redundant, antiquated slogan used by the left. That and "racist" for anyone disagreeing with president Obama's far left desired policies. |

I talked to a liberal who says he heard one conservative call a liberal an atheist. I suppose to you and most liberals then that what that means is that all conservative think all liberals are atheists. The president who freed the slaves was a conservative Republican. It wasn't a liberal Democrat... they just picked up on the chorus and have never stopped singing it as if all their policies have done much for black people since they've been freed when in actually, their policies have just grown their lot in life, not lifted them up out of it. |

You got to be kidding. Today he would be declared a rhino. The GOP of today bears little resemblance to Lincoln.

That's just not true. The democratic party is far left of the GOP, which is off in right field. But, not that much left of center. If you believe it is a bunch of socialist leaning liberals, it's because you have been brainwashed from watching too much Fox propaganda. |

As Colo has stated, the interpretation is in the eyes of the beholder. In the case of "brainwashing," my eyes tells me that the brainwashed are on the left. Can you believe that since 1964, the liberals have made the blacks believe that all that social welfare would lift them up out of poverty and actually give them opportunities to be successful and actually be contributors; and, like George Jefferson would actual be in a position to earn their piece of the pie. But they keep hoping. |
