and its Rich Old White men, they dont care for working class Whites either I mean beyond using fear mongering and pandering to the lowest common denominator to get the votes then they have no use for the working poor, and absolutely no intention of doing anything to help them be anything but poor.
If this is the case, I guess Democrats are also the party of old, white men. Ever heard of Mia Love, Tim Scott, Allen West, Marco Rubio? I could go all day.
Fear-mongering? Pandering? This is hardly a one-party thing.
Lowest common denominator? Quit watching Family Guy, kid.
That last common is complete shit. How do Republicans hate the poor? Because they don't hand people free money? I'm sorry, but this is the real world, not fairy land. You can't just do that. Also, Republicans support lower taxes, less regulation on businesses, and projects which would increase employment opportunities. Some Democrats like to keep the poor poor and dependent on the Democrats for all their needs. Makes great voters. Republicans believe that all minorities and poor should have the opportunity to be successful, and believe they can achieve it.
Again, these programs are bankrupting our country, it can't keep going like this. That is why these programs have to be downsized.
Marco_Rubio < Republican, Anti-Labor anti-workng class
Mia Love < Republican who consistently does not tow the Republican party line, and defies the most radical of the Party. Centrist, and exception to the common Republican Politician.
Tim Scott < Just wow. Here is a Tea Party poor hating radical. You think a black face makes him less Anti-Poverty, and by Anti-Poverty I mean Poor-Hating.
Allen West-- Lets Dance!
" Progressives are “communists”: At a town hall meeting in April, West said that 80 House Democrats were “members of the Communist Party.” He later clarified that the 80 Democrats he was speaking about were those in the Progressive Caucus."
Opposed early voting as an “entitlement”: In an interview with ThinkProgress, West objected to early voting in Florida because “people see it as an entitlement.” He ultimately lost his seat, in part, because of high Democratic early voting turnout.
Said Obama’s campaign slogan had a “Marxist-Socialist” meaning: West found hidden meaning in Obama’s “Forward” slogan. “They want to bring out an old Soviet Union, Marxist-Socialist theme for their campaign called “Forward”.”
Food stamps “enslave the American people”: West lamented the rise in available food stamps for Americans. “That’s not how you empower the American people,” West said. “That’s how you enslave the American people.”
Social Security enslaves the American people: Appearing on Fox News, West criticized Social Security disability benefits. “Once again we are creating the sense of economic dependence, which to me is a form of modern, 21st century slavery.”
Obama wants to enslave people: West argued at a campaign event that Obama “does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning and having that title of American. He’d rather you be his slave.”
Said Barney Frank should be in a “pink jumpsuit”: West criticized openly gay Rep. Barney Frank’s (D-MA) congressional tenure earlier this year. “[He's] a guy who for all practical purposes should be in a pink jumpsuit for what he did.”
Told congresswoman, “You are not a lady”: West blasted nearby congresswoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) after a dispute, scolding her in a letter, “You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!”
Called for censoring news outlets: After Wikileaks released thousands of pages of documents, West argued that “we also should be censoring American news agencies” who reported on the cables.
Obama supporters are a “threat to the gene pool: West wrote on a conservative website, “I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.”
Religious coexistence “would give away our country”: West blasted “Coexist” bumper stickers at a March 2011 town hall, saying people who have them represent “something that would give away our country, would give away who we are.”
Said Nazi leader would be “very proud” of Democrats: In December 2011, West told reporters that “If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine.”
Criticized rise of feminism: West told a conservative conference that liberal women “have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness — to let them know that we are not going to have our men become subservient.”
Told liberals to “get the hell out of the United States”: At a Republican dinner, West had harsh words for his Democratic counterparts. “Take your message of equality of achievement. … You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”
Those are your shining examples of the Republican Party.
And yes, I do not count the Democratic Party as being one bit better.
