What do Republicans stand for? Ruthlessness
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 10:39 PM by The Backlash Cometh
They do not hold up to their own standards and we have enough history to use their actions to prove it. We just need to get into the practice of looking for their hypocrisies and just remember one thing: Whether they're calling themselves Family valued, Patriotic, Religious or any of the usual Red tags, in the end, it's always about the money. Which means that if you look close enough, you'll find them cheating. So don't waste time in a debate of words. Instead, look for their money connections, because everything else is just window dressing.

2. We need to work on it to make it stick.
If only we had a group who would make it a point of hammering them on a daily basis. Every time one of them opens their mouth and says something, we should be able to look at their history to point out the contradictions.

4. That's the kind of contradiction we need to throw in their faces.
They have a knack of hiding behind American icons. So it's time we separate the baby from the bathwater.

5. I understand the politicians completely, it's the average Republican/Tea Party voter...
who has me stumped?

The people who gleefully applauded executions at the debate the other night...I don't understand them at all.

:(

6. Lies, greed, ruthlessness...
on and on.

Mike Lofgren wrote a book "Goodbye To All That". He was on Chris Matthews last night. Lofgren said that it is worse than we think.
