Although you don't need my agreement you have it for most of what you say. My only differences are that Dems are turds and republicans are better Better? With your SB McConnell leading the senate ,,with kiss asses Pence and Pompeo and the worst Presidents ever you call that better ? A repub senate too chicken shit to open their mouths to King Trump?THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
I voted for George H.W. Bush in 1988, Bob Dole in 1996, and George W Bush in 2000 - All Republicans. NO MORE! I'm a Democrat now. Conservatives used to care about paying down our national debt, supporting our troops, and our European allies against threats from Communism. Today the party of Trump cares little about any of these, instead focusing on abusing little children on our southern border, sucking up to dictators from Russia, North Korea, and Turkey, and dividing this country as deeply as the days of the civil war.
I didn't agree with everything President Obama did, but America didn't turn into a socialist hellhole, nor did the economy crash on his watch as so many on the right wing predicted. This is the last post I'll do here, claiming I'm an Independent.
Sorry Trump supporters: You lost me - Goodby!
First of all both parties incur debt. If you are choosing a party based upon debt then the choice is neither. The only good thing you can say about debt is that usually Republicans get a better economy with their debt than Democrats.
Second of all maybe that asshole Obama didn't turn this country into a Socialist shithole but it wasn't for the lack of trying. The Republican House and later Senate stopped him from doing the damage he wanted to do.
What Obama did do was increase poverty, decrease family income, run up $10 trillion in debt, run up the cost of heath care, weaken the military, increase taxes, gave away the store with foreign policy and had dismal economic growth.
As far as the difference between the Republicans and Democrats.
Republicans are always better than the Democrats. That is indisputable. However, "better" is a very relative term and doesn't mean much. A million times better than zero is still pretty much zero.
Democrats promise bad government and will always deliver on bad government.
The Republicans promise good government but at the end of the day usually deliver about the same bad government as we would have got had the Democrats been elected.
Most of the time the difference is minimal. They are both the party of big government and supporters of the welfare state.
I am a Conservative but don't consider myself a Republican because at the end of the day Republicans are nothing more than Democrat Light. Republicans at best are only the lesser of two evils.
You're not wrong. I tend to vote Republican because they, unlike the Democrats, aren't actively pursuing policies that will damage the US; they just appear to be too dickless - as a group - to fight against them. They literally are the lesser of two evils: passive evil, instead of active evil.
I would respectfully disagree.
I have yet to find a Republican other than maybe a Ron Paul that would advocate a significant (50% or more) reduction in the size of the Federal government or even advocate stopping all forms of welfare and entitlements.
Like I said, they promise good government when they are trying to get our Conservative vote but when they get to Washington they vote for increased Federal budgets, debt, the continuance of all the disastrous entitlement programs and give us much of what the Democrats would have given us.
Democrat Light all day long.
No, politicians rarely advocate for a reduction of their power, and government spending = political power. Be that as it may, Republicans as a rule don't actively demand policies that are disastrous for America on the face of it, the way Democrats do.
Again, I disagree. Republicans talk smaller government but they always enact bigger government.
They run on a platform to do better than the filthy ass Democrats but when it is time to vote they seem far too many times to support the Democrats.
For instance, Republicans allowed Obama's tax increases and Republicans allowed Trump's 2017, 2018 and 2019 deficits.
If your augment is that Democrats are turds and that Republicans are better then I would agree with you. However, being better just by itself ain't good enough.
Go look at Ron Paul's 2012 Restore America budget proposal to cut a trillion dollars out of the Federal government while still increasing defense spending and maintaining Social Security and many other necessary government program as what Republicans could do if they had any courage.
Democrats are the scum of this country and have always been assholes.
The last five Democrat President:
Kennedy, LBJ and Clinton were all first rate scumbags. Not only terrible Presidents but morally deficient human beings.
Carter was the second worst President this country every had.
Obama was absolutely the worst. The sonofabitch fucked up everything he touched.
This Democrat House is an embarrassment to the country that has nothing but an agenda of hate.
That piece of shit Crooked Hillary was a turd and this clown Biden is as bad or even worse.
LOL Trump is the worst
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s niece offered a devastating portrayal of him in a book that credits a “perfect storm of catastrophes" for exposing the president at his worst.
Mary L. Trump, a psychologist, writes that the coronavirus pandemic, the possibility of an economic depression and deepening social divides have brought out the “worst effects" of Donald Trump's pathologies, which were less evident when the country had a stable economy and the lack of serious crises.
Those factors, along with “Donald's penchant for division, and uncertainty about our country's future have created a perfect storm of catastophes that no one is less equipped than my uncle to manage," she writes.
The president’s brother Robert tried to bar publication of the book. Early copies of the book, slated for publication next week, became available on Tuesday. It is titled: “Too Much and Never Enough, How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.”
A ruling briefly blocking its publication was lifted last week by a New York state appellate judge
"LOL" He can't be "the worst", because he's still better than you.
Didn't read the post, because I don't give a shit what your talking points are this week.
