GOP turning "American helping American" into Socialism - Is that a national scandal?

[rdean]

The GOP leadership has worked tirelessly to make their base believe American helping American is "socialism" and should be stopped. The very people helped by Social Security and Medicare believe getting government help is the road to disaster for this country. The GOP's misinformation techniques have worked so well, their base doesn't even understand that Medicare and Social Security are government programs and getting rid of government programs means disaster for them.

Republicans say we should look at Blue States to understand how all the welfare has hurt those states. Only the dollar drain from Blue States is going to Red States. The amount of money difference Red States receive from Blue States pales in comparison to what those in Blue States who are on welfare receive and is staggering.

If Red States were so self sufficient, they wouldn't be working overtime trying to lure Blue State workers to their states. They would train their own people. Only that would be (gasp) "socialism".

People don't want charity. Republicans insist they are better people because they imagine they give more to charity. Remember that story Paul Ryan plagiarized? About the little boy who did't want to be given school lunch? Well that's the thing. A little charity does nothing. Without the drain of money from Blue States to Red States, Blue States would have balanced budgets and would still be helping Blue State Citizens. It's because of that aid Blue States are able to give to their citizens that Red States are able to bleed money from those Blue States who earned it.

Perhaps we need some tough love and stop funding Red States. The only problem with that is the GOP leadership would simply let their middle class and poor die. We know that from the millions left off Medicare Expansion. That will probably cost 10,000 deaths a year in Red States.

What says I have to help losers like you who have made stupid decisions throughout your miserable life. Take responsibility...help yourself...it can be done.

....yawn.

Medicare | ObamaCare Watch

ObamaCare cuts a half-trillion dollars from Medicare over the next decade. These cuts are unsustainable and will lead to a reduction in the quality of care for seniors who rely on the program to secure access to needed medical services. The cuts in Medicare Advantage will impose steep costs on millions of Medicare beneficiaries, and will fall disproportionately on low income and minority seniors.

The true ideology of republicans is, "Fuck you, me first!" Scumbags have no shame.

When you get a base of followers who quite frankly aren't very intelligent and you compound that with the fact that they are gullible and anything but open minded, you get the modern day republican base. This is why you hear words like socialism, communism and comparisons made to Hitler on a regular basis. These terms have no relation whatsoever to modern day democats/liberals but these people have been convinced, rather easily, that liberals are actually their enemy and are somehow related to these boogeyman terms they throw around and clearly don't understand.

When I see stuff like this, I think about the mental schematic that takes him from one point to the other. I suspect he begins at the end - in this case, Republicans are for socialism - and then works his way back to some kind of absurd declarative initial point.

I also wonder why he puts forth such effort, but I suspect I'd never fully understand.

lovely, you lefts idea of American helping American is through the FORCE OF GOVERNMENT

so the Gop isn't wrong...you all aren't socialist, you're fascist damn near communist

 

[R.D.]

Ryan was misguided and foolish to believe the lie told under oath by a lib Eloise Anderson

Wanna talk plagiarist? Why Biden's plagiarims shouldn't be forgotten.

 

[editec]

You partisans (those not getting paid to be, at least) are freaking imbeciles.

The leadership of your respective parties laugh at you.

I do believe RDD was PROGJECTING how the Democrat party and their base is
he whines over the words, socialism, communism or Hitler, but elected Democrat congressmen can call it's citizens, terrorist...and he says NOTHING

just unbelievable and how much more gullible is that?

What is the far left? How do you distinguish far left from just the regular left. I'd love to know who you would consider far left and who is just left.

Dems 2014: because there aren't enough people unemployed and on food stamps!

What laws or policies have the Democrats enacted that will move people from dependency on government to self sufficiency?

When you define helping as taking someone's money by force and giving it to someone else I'd say it's a problem.

30 years ago, those who are moderately right leaning today would be considered the 'left'. Those who are moderately left today would be considered the fringe left then, and those who are progressive and think in terms of government as mother, would have had their mental stability called into question.

So, to answer your question, just about everyone who is not to the far right of the current spectrum (which would have been a moderate right 30 years ago).
