With all of the Republicans voting against the jobs bill, they have agreed to lay off hard working Americans like teachers, police officers, and fire fighters out and instead pay them unemployment.
Republicans are refusing to help average Americans that provide a meaningful contribution to our society. Instead they criticize the OWS protesters, to protect wealthy investors that have profited from the stagnant wages and laying off hard working Americans.
Voting Republican means voting to keep wealthy families working as little as possible for their ever increasing profits, and keeping the 99% working as hard as possible for their continually declining real wages.
It is Republicans ability to convince the poor to vote against their best interests that keeps this party a float. They taught the evangelical base that when Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:23-24 really meant taxing the rich to help the less fortunate is a sin. God gave those rich people there wealth, because they were better Christians. Republicans turned If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also" Matthew 5:38-42, NIV into "It is good for people to neglect the hungry, sick, and poor, so that that more resources to can be used to kill and disfigure your enemies and there innocent relatives in vengeance". They explained that taxing hedge fund managers at the same percentage as teachers into class warfare that is unjust because it puts Americans against Americans. Clearly Republicans know that it is only right to put Americans against the un-American Americans like liberals, homosexuals, unions, the non-Christian religions, atheists, agnostics, intellectuals, regulation supporters, progressive tax supporters, evolution supporters, teachers that get 6 weeks of vacation, racial minorities, OWS protesters, and any other group that does not vote Republican.
If you are Republican you are either rich or being tricked into voting against your best interest.
What a load of nonsense.
The two party political system is a con.
They behave like enemies when if fact they are workmates.
Every few years one takes control and then they swap.
Rinse and repeat.
If you think Republicans are the problem, then you have a lot more to understand about the system and how people are manipulated to barrack for sides like football teams.
Left = Right.
AirWalker, good observations.
Republicans have been very successful at using the media to influence the beliefs of the lower classes who vote for them. You see, integral to conservative ideology is the desire to establish an aristocracy. An aristocracy must be richer than the other classes, but the aristocracy also requires that the lower classes willingly recognize the superiority of the aristocracy. The aristocrats want to believe that they are naturally superior, and they want the lower classes to share in this belief. This is why Capitalism and Calvinism went hand-in-hand for so long. After Calvinism was discredited, it was replaced with Social Darwinism which accomplishes the same thing - "I'm rich because I'm inherently better than you." It's not enough for the aristocracy to be filthy rich, they have to gain the willing acceptance and support of those whom they rule over.
If conservatives would actually study the religion which they purport to believe in, they would realize just how incompatible it is with conservative ideology - Jesus was, in fact, a communist:
"Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had."
Acts 2:44 - International Standard Version (©2008) All the believers were united and shared everything with one another.
Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010) And all those who believed were together and everything they had was communal.
New Living Translation (©2007) And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had."
There are many, many more quotes that reveal Jesus and his followers to be essentially communist.
A Democratically Controlled Senate stopped the falsely names Jobs Bill. It was merely another attempt by Obama to steal more money for the Unions. Obama laughed when asked about shovel ready jobs. Jeff Immelt and GE got $126 MILLION stimulus dollars despite making over $6 BILLION profit and paying ZERO TAXES at the same time. BaROKE Obumbler's $852 STIMULUS bill to create JOBS and start SHOVEL READY PROJECTS turns out to be a SLUSH FUND FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS LIKE SOLYNDRA, GE, JEFF DOERR and STEVE WESTLY, other DONORS, fictitious zip codes,etc.. Obumbler blew $852 BILLION, NOW HE WANTS $450 BILLION MORE---SHOW US THE MONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE $852 BILLION?? Criminals always return to scene of the crime, Obumbler's BACK TO STEAL MORE MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS! Millions went to foreign banks, $529 MILLION went to Finland to build hybrid cars, MILLIONS went to Hezbollah, MILLIONS TO CRONIES. The same type of CRONIES are on his JOBS BOARD! All we'll get from them is more LIES, DECEIT, FRAUD!
