The nickname for the Republican party should be::::>

the "We don't care" party


We don't care about poor people
We don't care about old people
We don't care about sick people
We don't care about the environment
We don't care about education
We don't care about working conditions

The only thing we care about is lowering taxes so we can have more money for ourselves.

5. The only thing they care about is killing
They have no faith in government but complete faith in the death penalty and war.

6. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.
They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach 'military age'. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.

Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.

11. I would say "know nothings" but that was already taken in the last century.
They do resemble "know nothings" in the anti immigrant, religious-racial bigotry, anti government, and violent mob rule mentality. The only real difference this time they have to tolerate Catholics and Mormons.

17. Add "for the rich" to that last statement and you've got it.
Remember, when Obama proposes tax cuts for the poor and middle class, suddenly they're not so much in favor of tax cuts. Suddenly it has to be paid for.
