I am Republican.......

"I am republican and what defines me is that I put money above all else. I make my goal in government to pass any and all laws that help me get more money. I only care about me. I will rig it all if I have to so that I can make money. I will gerrymander, I will cheat, I will lie, I will manipulate. The only rules that actually matter are the ones that make sure I get what I want. I do not care that I hurt people. I do not care what people I hurt. I only care that I am taken care of and I severely judge anyone else that voices their belief that they matter. They do not. I believe anyone who is not as wealthy as I am is lazy and unmotivated. I belief that I am more deserving than anyone else. I make sure all of my votes make sure I benefit primarily. You cannot shame me into caring about others because my entire party is narcissistic. It is our culture. And you cannot change my mind because my goals are not the betterment of the country. I am motivated by greed above all and I will sell out my country at any option if it means I make more money. And in order to make sure that I am taken care of, I need to make sure YOU are controlled, YOU don’t have options, YOU don’t get a vote, YOU are silenced. I am republican and I will do whatever it takes to maintain my position of power. Anything."

Yeap, pretty much sums it up. Sad and pathetic.......

What a miserable way to live one human life. Go ahead and case that dollar.

I really don't envy that style of living, which makes me peaceful, happy and lucky.

I'm tired of hearing all the misdirection about tax cuts paying for themselves, or about how we need to cut Social Security and Medicare to "save" it. I'm done listening to people arguing that their efforts to repeal Obamacare are motivated by a desire to expand access to healthcare.

This is at least honest. Anyone who says it would get crushed, but they wouldn't be lying.

But probably less disgust as compared to the person with the same views AND who lies about it.

I'm just so tired of the lying and the misleading rhetoric. Things like gutting the Clean Air Act and calling it something like the "Healthy Air Modernization Act" (I made that up for illustrative purposes).

Paul Ryan particularly gets my goat in the way in which he's treated as if he's some kind of genious at figuring out ways to cut spending without cutting benefits when, in reality, he's just cutting spending.

...and I don't support stereotyping them, because to do so means that your campaign message to them is erroneously skewed.

They obsess about guns, getting their football Jesus into the schools, keeping women from having abortions and porn, but not money. Some are Democratic on economic issues.

Government isn't going to tell me what to do syndrome......yeah, I'll go with that....but they make sure they use every opportunity to better themselves at the cost of others who haven't been given the opportunities or privilege they have been given or born into.......Republicans......

but the lack of punctuation, bad grammar, and mangled syntax make me believe it was written by an actual Republican!
