Republicans reap what they sow

Republicans reap what they sow - The Boston Globe

After 35 years of Republicans relentlessly bashing government, voters have been well taught to mistrust politicians and demean public service. They are drawn to candidates who reflect their own contempt. And if campaign rhetoric is rude, crude, and seemingly stewed, so much the better.

When Ronald Reagan, in his first inaugural address, said that “government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem,” he may only have been promoting a fiscally conservative ideology as a corrective to Great Society spending. But after decades of Republicans demonizing people on welfare, degrading teachers and other public workers, starving the public sector enough to guarantee its inefficiency, and demeaning the office of the presidency, voters got the message that all politics is rotten. Now these over-plucked chickens are coming home to roost.

Republicans have become adept at manipulating census data to draw congressional districts that only conservatives can win. But they’ve crafted them too well, because now even powerful Republican incumbents are being tossed out by uncompromising newcomers who claim to be free of Washington’s taint.

Exactly what I've been saying.

And this is a republican issue? Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. The size and scope of government is the problem. Explain after all the billions spent on education and welfare the US tests below developed nations and we have more people today on welfare? But blame others for your failed policies and record of achievement.

here comes the same ole same ole from the rdeanie. he has them all stored and just regurgitates them every other time he post. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

so let me regurgitate this for them:

I've noticed the thing with the far left. Is they don't put the blame on their politicians.

Obama rhetoric for the last seven years has been enough to gag a maggot. so what does his cult member go do?

instead they get their leftwing hate site talking points and blame their fellow countrymen and women. how sick and slavish is that to a party?

Republicans call our schools the worst in the world. The rest of the world wants to send their children here because they call our schools the best in the world. More evidence Republicans aren't educated. They don't even know what a good school is. Worse, they don't want to know. More proof the propaganda has worked.
