The GOP's Real Agenda

[Luddly Neddite]

The GOP's Real Agenda | Politics News | Rolling Stone

Since last fall, Republicans have pretended to be more moderate - but their politics are harsher and more destructive than ever

After watching voters punish the GOP in the 2012 elections, Republican elites have been talking a brave game about reforms that would make the party less repulsive to Latinos, women and gay-friendly millennials. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the GOP's hip-hop-quoting young standard-bearer, is pressing conservatives to back an amnesty for undocumented immigrants. Dozens of party stalwarts, headlined by former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, renounced their opposition to gay marriage in a Supreme Court brief. GOP bigwigs have even launched New Republican – a group modeled after Bill Clinton's centrist Democratic Leadership Council – which seeks to rebrand the party as "colorblind," "not anti-government" and dedicated to "ending corporate welfare."

Don't be fooled. On the ground, a very different reality is unfolding: In the Republican-led Congress, GOP-dominated statehouses and even before the nation's highest court, the reactionary impulses of the Republican Party appear unbowed. Across the nation, the GOP's severely conservative agenda – which seeks to impose job-killing austerity, to roll back voting and reproductive rights, to deprive the working poor of health care, and to destroy agencies that protect the environment from industry and consumers from predatory banks – is moving forward under full steam.

The rw's won't read this because it appears in Rolling Stone and for some reason, they think that means they should ignore it. Just like the GObP/R leaders, they do so at their own peril. This article shows why the R is going to keep losing a lot elections.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

We want the rinos out of the republican party, Leddley. That would include Karl Rove, Gingrich, Boehner, McCain, all the career politicians who have lined their pockets and compromised on the values of the conservatives they were elected to represent. They all need to go. The problem with the Republican party is the same problem the Tea Partiers have. The republican camp has been infilitrated with people who are not truly conservative. Hope that explains the direction they are trying to take now. People such as Michele Bachmann, Alan Keyes, Dr. Ben Carlson, Sowell, Lynn Westmoreland, Jim Demint, Phyllis Shaffley......... these are the caliber of people the Republican party are looking for. It took them awhile but I think they have finally realized that they are not going to win by compromise. Compromise is what has brought the Republican Party to the place it is right now. - Jeremiah

Led is a total whack job leftist Jeremiah. He's not interested in hearing from a real conservative what our "agenda" is. He'd rather find some frothing at mouth piece written by some socialist, obama worshiping zealot hack that tells YOU... what your agenda is. It works better for him that way. That way he can pretend.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Well when the day comes ( and it will....) they find out what they have been supporting isn't supporting them anymore? But rather hunting them down for a Soviet firing squad? They will need a warm meal and a shoulder to cry on. As a conservative Christian I'll be there and do my best not to say...... I TOLD YOU SO.

[Book of Jeremiah]

I am encouraged by Yuri Bezmenov, the KGB defector, who said that after a communist takeover the most avid patriots are the ex - marxists. The ones that escape the initial takeover and firing squad that is.. because they are so bitter about being double - crossed..

Guess we'll find out soon enough, eh?

 

[Oddball]

That the same old demagogic leftloon boilerplate comes from the Stolling Rone, is notwithstanding that it's the same old demagogic leftloon boilerplate.

Anyone and everyone who opposes leftloon socialist do-gooders is, as a matter of course, a filthy dirty, no good, racist, sexist homophobic, bible-thumping gun nut, who wants polluted air and water, women barefoot and pregnant, children starving in the streets, oldsters eating dog food and black people picking cotton.

Fuck you commie assholes....Get a new line of bullshit because this one doesn't work anymore.

Good gawd it's like a time machine around here some times. As if some old fucks are still fight the cold war.

As Hitler was preparing to round up all the jews, there we untold numbers of people in Germany that were ridiculing those worrying about what was about to happen. There will ALWAYS be those IGNORANT among us that will trust the government right up until they appear on THEIR doorstep to take THEM away... there will ALWAYS be those people. Let them wallow in their own apathy and ignorance. They may was well have "fuck me" tattooed on their forehead.

I don't think you should write the Republicans off .....I think making a comeback is what Republicans are ' very','very', good at, if you know your US history.

Ok, I'll bite. What IS your agenda?

 

[Flopper]

I don't think the Republicans really have a real agenda. Sure the fiscal conservatives do and social conservatives do, but not the GOP.

really? Republicans and conservatives and the right wing are all different things. The GOP is being hijacked by lunatics. In the last 100 years the GOP was out of power often. It can happen again

In short, no new taxes, cut and balance the budget, repeal or defund obamacare, and no new infringements on the second amendment.

You're right, the GOP has been hijacked, by RINO's that keep moving to the left. Time to put an end to that and get back to what the GOP actually stands for.

People are waking up more and more every day. People are getting a belly full of liberalism and this radical socialist agenda being pushed by obama and the left. They see their pay check shrinking, their rights being stripped, prices going ever higher, and they don't LIKE IT. Liberalism is quickly becoming a bad idea. Liberalism is no longer cool. People will only allow so much of that bull shit and then they're going to push back, and the push back has started. You best watch who you mouth off your liberal crap to on the street. You just might find yourself in a situation you don't want. People are getting sick of liberals.

The rights guaranteed are not absolute. Never were intended to be so. the 1st Amendment is an example. "The right...hall not be infringed" not the amendment itself. Guns and ammo were regulated during the Colonial American period as well as in early US History -- that is factual

name the nations that have balanced budgets as a legal requirement

new taxes? not even to fight a war?

Obamacare is here to stay

Our rights are ours as long as we want them. The government works for us, not the other way around. We will let them know when we no longer want our rights, not the other way around.

If you want the government up your ass telling you when you can shit, piss and speak, move to north korea. I hear it's just the kind of country you'd love.

 

[007]

name the nations that have balanced budgets as a legal requirement

This is about America, not other nations.

new taxes? not even to fight a war?

No. No new wars either.

obamacare is here to stay

So, you say our rights can easily be taken away, that they're not absolute, and they're in the constitution. Yet obamacare just being a law IS absolute? No... sorry... obamacare can and will be gone, one way or the other. Just about every politician in Washington knows by now it can't be implemented. It's a disaster and will be gone. Even the dems will help get rid of it.

On that note: It is you who is unhappy with America, so why don't you get the fuck out of our country?

We have a government of, by, and for the people. They act in our name. We restrain them or we allow them power in our name. We live in a representative republic

get the fuck out

No new taxes ever? Not even to pay for wars?

Cut WHAT to balance the budget?

You'd better hurry with that Obamacare thing. Once it's fully implemented, people will love it and you'll never get rid of it.

Define infringement.
