Gop Offers These 11 Principles

[ogibillm]

Voting "for" implies that the recipient of my vote was proposing ideas I agreed with.
However, sometimes the choice presented is to vote for who you think will do the least amount of damage to yourself and others in your life.

In either case, whoever we vote "for" is a plutocrat and just like the house always wins when you bet, so it is for plutocrats. Somehow they will ALL win in the end. Win or lose an election doesn't matter. Plutocrats will be just fine.

Ourselves? (cause I know you ain't no plutocrat) I guess it just depends on who you wanna bet on. Really that's all we are doing. We know the campaign rhetoric is just that. We just want to believe that for once the politicians will do what they offered to do during the campaign. But usually they don't.

I voted for Obama, twice. Cause the alternative seemed like a much worse bet to me.
I really hated how the Iraqi invasion was sold to the American people, so the likelihood of me listening to a Republican candidate after the primaries were overwas none. Outcome forgone after than. Cause I always place my bet on somebody.

But I sure hope Hillary don't run.

"I voted for Obama, twice. Cause the alternative seemed like a much worse bet to me."

How about now?

still true.

Looking at the compendium of his failures in both domestic and foreign policy....

....only a moron would respond as you have.

meh. the alternative would have the entire united states as broke as kansas, we'd probably be involved in a half dozen or so ground wars, and most of those "failures" would still have happened.

Let's analyze that jejune response.

In order to defend the failure both of your judgement and the one in the White House, you, like Maria Ospenskya, rely on a crystal ball....or, perhaps the Magic 8 Ball.


I, on the other hand, have the facts....the reality.


Seems to be the same pattern every time our paths cross.

you're right, there is a pattern.

the pattern is you mistake opinion for fact, and somehow believe that you know exactly what would have happened if romney or mccain had been elected.

this is unknowable by its nature. we can speculate, guess, use facts to inform our opinion, but at the end of the day it's still just an opinion, not a fact.

now go find an opinion piece to copy and paste as if it were fact and supported your position and reveal to us further that you don't have any original thoughts, but instead are a sheep in people's clothing.

• Budget/Debt: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.

lol, good one. The GOP is promising to balance the budget and pay off the national debt in one generation.

Where do you see a Promise in that statement ? It was simply a statement of what Needs to be done , and if achievable, perhaps the next generation of Americans will be wise enough to preserve it and bitch smack you liberal progressive morons when you pop your heads outta your holes.

 

[Uncensored2008]

About time the GOP told America what it was offering.


"Pushing back against criticism that the GOP had become defined entirely by opposition to President Obama, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus released a list of 11 “Principles for American Renewal” that he said would guide the GOP agenda should it gain control of government."
GOP debuts new principles to demonstrate positive agenda MSNBC


Any disagreement on these ideas for governing?

Here are the Republican Party's Principles for American Renewal

• Constitution: Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored.
• 
  
• Economy: We need to start growing America’s economy instead of Washington’s economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.
• 
  
• Budget/Debt: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.

• Healthcare: We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
• 
  
• Veterans: Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor.
• 
  
• Security: Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders.

• Education: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.
• 
  
• Poverty: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.
• 
  
• Values: Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work.

• Energy: We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home.
• Immigration: We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy.
• GOP s Principles for American Renewal GOP

What's not to like?

What's not to like is that fact that I don't believe them or trust them to live up to any of those principles.

Republicans promise to secure the border? And i'm supposed to believe that?

[Steven_R]

Didn't the GOP have at least 6 years to do all this under Bush, with a GOP Congress?

I'm nominally a Republican (only because third parties are a joke in this nation and this gives me a vote in the primaries to help decide the R candidates) and even I think the Republicans dropped the ball during the Bush years. They had the chance to put their money where their mouths are and just kept doing the same things as ever. Spending, pork, more needless laws, more rhetoric.

It's not like the Dems are any better. Obama could have used his political capital to get the Dem led congress to fix the banking system, but instead opted to go with Obamacare.

A pox on both their parties.

Obama and Domestic Failures.
1.More than 6.7 million more Americans have been plunged into poverty since Obama became President.


2.Real household income is down 5%


3. Consumer prices are up 10.2%


4. Total federal debt is up 58%


5. Gasoline prices are up 82%


6. Food stamp recipients up 49%


7. Debt held by the public is up 89%


However, the Obama administrationrecently projected an annual deficit of $750 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $626 billion the year after. At that rate, the debt owed to the public will more than double during the Obama presidency.

As of 2012, according to the most recent figures reported by the Census Bureau, median (midpoint) income for all U.S. households was $51,017, which was 4.9 percent lower (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it was in 2008, the year before Obama took office.

The same story applies to family income, which includes many families with two earners. (The “household” figure includes single persons living alone, as well as families.) Median family income in 2012 was $62,241, or 5.1 percent below the inflation-adjusted 2008 level.

The number of persons living in poverty also worsened again in 2012, according to the most recent Census figures.


8. As of last year, 46,496,000 persons lived in households with income below the official poverty line, an increase of nearly 6.7 million since 2008 and 249,000 since 2011. The total poverty rate remained unchanged in 2012 at 15 percent of the total U.S. population. So for the second straight year, the poverty rate was 1.8 points higher than it was in 2008.

you're right, there is a pattern.

the pattern is you mistake opinion for fact, and somehow believe that you know exactly what would have happened if romney or mccain had been elected.

this is unknowable by its nature. we can speculate, guess, use facts to inform our opinion, but at the end of the day it's still just an opinion, not a fact.

now go find an opinion piece to copy and paste as if it were fact and supported your position and reveal to us further that you don't have any original thoughts, but instead are a sheep in people's clothing.

As the saying goes....
A conservative never stands so tall when she stoops to help a liberal.

I get such a kick out of the morons who object to the messenger when they can't dispute the message.

Raise your paw.

Gop Offers These 11 Principles

What happened to guns and gay bashing?

You mean this, from the GOP party platform:

We reaffirm our support for a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Oh, and there's this:

. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children.

That amendment would outlaw all abortion, period.

We The People A Restoration of Constitutional Government GOP

About time the GOP told America what it was offering.


"Pushing back against criticism that the GOP had become defined entirely by opposition to President Obama, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus released a list of 11 “Principles for American Renewal” that he said would guide the GOP agenda should it gain control of government."
GOP debuts new principles to demonstrate positive agenda MSNBC


Any disagreement on these ideas for governing?

Here are the Republican Party's Principles for American Renewal

• Constitution: Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored.
• 
  
• Economy: We need to start growing America’s economy instead of Washington’s economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.
• 
  
• Budget/Debt: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.

• Healthcare: We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
• 
  
• Veterans: Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor.
• 
  
• Security: Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders.

• Education: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.
• 
  
• Poverty: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.
• 
  
• Values: Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work.

• Energy: We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home.
• Immigration: We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy.
• GOP s Principles for American Renewal GOP

What's not to like?

Mostly horseshit.

What they "offer" and what they "practice" are two different things.
