Chris Matthews: What has the Republican Party done for The People...

[SgtMarine]

I like how Bush Jr. kept America safe during 9/11 and how he kept Louisiana safe from Hurricane Katrina. I also like how he told Al Queda to "Bring It On!" and how he declared "Mission Accomplished" on an aircraft carrier

Holy fuck you expect a mear mortal to stop a fucking hurricane? It's a fucking HURRICANE!

1 a bunch of religious nuts got on 4 planes, hijacked them, and crashed them.
killed alot. unlike you, my hatred goes towards the ones who did it, not the prez or my own country.
but you cant help it, i understand that youve been conditioned to feel as you do.
2 it was a hurricane! it hit new orleans. what the fuck could anyone have done to prevent it fool?
if anything it was the democratic controlled state of louisiana and the corrupt mayor that fucked things up afterwards and even beforehand.


mission was accomplished being that saddam was ousted and captured.
only after did religious nuts go in and start blowing civilians, police and soldiers up.
but unlike you my hatred is for the men doing the killing, not the prez or my own country.
ah but you cant help it, youve got the sickness.

thats the mentality of people like him, they want government to control everything.
the enemies within.
the more people that buy into the shit that they infect him with the closer the country will get to being 3rd world.

I have the answer:
theyve kept the democrats from destroying the country even more than they
already have.

ask anybody that pulls a welfare check, chances are they vote democrat.

ask any illegal mexican, chances are they vote democrat.

ask any young brainwashed young person who never actually got out in the real world and had a real job,
chances are they voted democrat.

ask any aging liberal hippy douche, chances are they vote democrat.


ask this creep, chances are he voted democrat

ask rosie odonnell, chances are she votes democrat.

Interesting enough - and so very true to your strategy in discussions - you could not give the answer, too. You snap to getting personal and fuzzy-logic in your very first sentence.

Having said that...

The one single thing they really did do was unifying the nation. Sadly, they used the old way of building a phantom of menace that towered above the heads of the citizens who were so overeager that they swallowed every act of abuse the republican administration dropped on them.

- The war on the ex-ally Hussein

USA and England repeatedly stated he has to hand out the Weapons of Massdestruction or they would invade. It was all based on that.

Later we learned Iraq never had those, and Bush and Blair knew very well.

But it went very well, keeping the country in line... and helping to get the next issue on the way:

- The Homeland Security Act

Of course, it originally is directly linked to the 9/11 fiasco, but as Hussein was getting set up as a major Al-Quaida aide, this monster of Big Brother law got accepted, too.

Of course, Al-Q never really was in Iraq to mention. You must have learned about this by now.

Is the US-american citize to feel proud or grateful about that? I dare you to say YOU feel good about it.

- The waste of the Surplus

Fighting on two different fronts that were clearly phantom menaces (for us, in hindsight, for the republican government, planned exactly like that), it was really burning cash money to build the, I would go so far as to call it a regime.

Do I still hear you chant 'U-S-A, U-S-A' now?

Get your facts clean before you go on hitting on people who have freed themselves from the bullshit they got told and learned the disturbing and very troubling facts.

Don't forget that the republicans also felt the need to gave massive tax breaks to the poor struggling millionaires and billionaires of the country, because well....because well...well...huh...umm...I'm sure there is some good, ethical, moral, reason they have. :1orglaugh

Also don;t forget that Congress has given out countless million in "recovery" money that has yet to be put into action. Also they decided to give Fanny and Freddy a blankcheck a few months back.

The problem is nothing ever changes-people want less government and for the government to stay out of their life until disaster strikes. With all of the record cold we'll see how "conservative" states like Georgia, Florida,Louisiana and Texas remain or if they will go to Washington for aid. Thats what Katrina proved-people are always against government until they need it. Bush didn't think we needed FEMA and other organizations and loog how his popularity fell when HIS government could not respond-and yes it was HIS government because the buck does stop with the President.

are you comparing the Katrina disaster with frost in Georgia and Flordia?:1orglaugh

I don't think that frost in Texas, Fla and Ga require FEMA's intervention

 

[Rey C.]

What has either party brought us in a long time?

Nothing good.

Let's try some true change.

The Constitution Party

I know I poke a lot of fun at you, Will E, but I happen to agree with the Constitution Party more than the GOP, especially on foreign policy, immigration and certain fiscal issues (the next war I'm prepared to hear about is a trade war). On certain social issues, I break with them, as I'm more libertarian when it comes to individual decisions about right & wrong. But they do oppose the (non)Patriot Act, so :thumbsup:

When I think of the GOP these days, I mainly think: "the guys that made Sarah Palin a superstar... a dancing queen. And she is too. And don't you forget it!
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen... :sing:

Interesting that the CP doesn't seem to be represented or active in my (purple) state though. I know the GOP has made some efforts to reduce the influence of 3rd parties here, by trying to mandate registration by party (to which we, the people, said, "Fuck you!"). But still, it seems like this is exactly the sort of place where they could speak to those of us who have no time for the GOPers "you either with us or you is agin us" bullshit any longer.

I'm talking about crop damage,heating assistance,homeless assistance-already hearing requests for help.

 

[LaLiLuLeLohan]

We conservatives believe we don't need the government to do anything for us.

I don't understand why so many people can't grasp that concept.

I think you're probably overstating the case because you're now describing Anarchy.

Not Anarchy, they are describing little governement in their lives as possible. Not the big governement that we have had for the past few decades.

I know that's what conservatism prefers but the way they're making it sound is akin to everyone for himself with no governance.

It's time to give them a chance.

I know the GOP has made some efforts to reduce the influence of 3rd parties here, by trying to mandate registration by party (to which we, the people, said, "Fuck you!").

We have a right to vote for anyone we wish.

So, mandating registration to one party is illegal.
Tell them that next time and tell them who sent you.

Chris Matthews .... Catholic putz !

[Mariahxxx]

ask any illegal mexican, chances are they vote democrat.

um, do they vote? lol

I'm a libertarian and lean right on most issues.

However, ask any racist and I'll bet they are a republican. that to me is a heavy load on the party right there and a mark that is hard to wash off.

There hasn't been a good conservative candidate for a long time, since 1988 in my opinion, and I have yet to see one now. Sarah Pailin? God help us. ROmney, even worse. Ward Cleaver with magical underwear.

I'm terrified of the next 3 years but even more so of the years to come after that if things don't change drastically very soon. I don't want a religious right and I don't want what we have, a far left liberal majority who will spend money like it grows on trees, literally.

I have little hope for the years to come as far as our government goes.

Even the NOI?
Even the NCLR "For the race everything, outside the race nothing"

I would be hard pressed to see them voting on ANY GOP issue.

 

[ThatRedWing]

Nice video. Now let's say it's someone on Fox News not letting a Democrat answer a question without interrupting them. Is that OK? No. But if it is someone on the left they are a hero. This just goes to prove that both sides are ass clowns. You can't have it both ways.

The media has their own agenda. None of this is "news". It's all just political posturing and entertainment. Think for yourselves people. The news is not there to inform anybody, it's there to sell something.
