  1. Its not evil to be a republican. Most people think they were stonewalling congress because they were butthurt about the presidency. This is untrue , they were elected because of the teaparty movements wish to stop the out of control government spending , and guess what , they did their job like they promised and continue to do so. But on the otherhand you have the democrats in washington who had COMPLETE CONTROL over the senate and house FOR TWO ENTIRE YEARS and nothing really got done other than the healthcare bill (remember , they had no opposition , republicans didnt have the numbers to block legislation). we elected obama on the hope and change that he would bring , and he didnt do it , even if he had the resources and ability to make actual change , he sat on his hands. So why would you openly support him now? it would make ALOT more sense for you people to pick another democratic canidate at this point then to re elect him.

  2. Republicans do not "cater to the rich". They dont want ANY tax increases on ANYBODY , this includes the rich. You cannot increase taxes in a bum economy , bill clinton has completely agreed with this in an interview , so if the greatest president in the past 50 years agrees with not raising taxes in an ass economy , then you should aswell considering his vast experiance and knowledge.

3.Republicans know that the lineup of canidates is fucking horrifically bad. No sane republican actually supports stooges like cain , perry and bachman. The only realistic choices are gingrich , huntsman , and paul. The issue here lies with fox news who blankets their canidates with 24 hours of news coverage about them. so whoever fox supports the majority of trailer trash morbidly obese retards will too. (who are not really republicans , just uneducated trash who need a side to pick)

This was C&P from another blogger "BE STRONG WORKING CLASS REPUBLICANS!

Stand strong beside your Millionaire and Billionaire brothers and sisters. Make sure they get their tax cuts!

When the Tea Party Revolution takes our country back we will help big business by reducing social security benefits, getting rid of Medicare, and getting rid of the minimum wage.

We will also give control of the health care system back to the insurance companies. If a policyholder gets so sick it would eat into company profits, it only makes good business sense to drop that policyholder (and his or her family). Why can't Democrats understand that?

Real Change is Coming - Help the Rich - Vote Republican"

This does have a certain ring of truth to it. Actually so much that it is not funny

OWS is not choosing one party over another. Why? Because they are equally tainted. The issue is that most politicians in office are owned by corporations that means their jobs are to institute laws in favor of special interests not the safety, health, & happiness of the public - that's our beef.

One is tainted, and the other is owned.

The Tea Part is the Re-branding of the Religious Right. They have obstructed the function of government and are seeking the establishment of a theocratic state. the philosophy is call Dominion-ism....The proof that the Tea Party is the Religious Right is in this award winning book.......AMERICAN GRACE WINS BEST POLITICAL SCIENCE BOOK OF 2010-2011.

Robert D. Putnam (Harvard) and David E. Campbell (Univ. of Notre Dame) have been awarded the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us (Simon and Schuster). The Wilson Award of the American Political Science Assocation (APSA) recognizes the "best book published in the U.S. during the previous calendar year on government, politics, or international affairs".

Flaw, any president who deviates, or deviated, one iota away from The US Constitution, is or was not great. I suspect treasonous would be much more appropriate than "great" or "greatest", when describing any elected official, having any part in Unconstitutional legislation or acts.

Have a good day.
