All they'll really get is * by their Republican candidates that don't give a shit about them, but it never seems to stop them from voting for them over and over. You'd laugh at them, but they're really a cry.

(29,414 posts)and realized that no matter how much it may happen to them, their party people will do their best to squirm out of being responsible, even when the voting record shows what legislation was put into place by the GOP and against their willfully ignorant constituents.
And then those some constituents will believe every word that blames the very existence of Dems around them as the reason why the legislation worked against them and their interests.
Or, that's how I figured they'd reason it

(19 posts)Maybe to take away our right to choose. Put African Americans in chains. Deport all brown skinned people. Let the NRA sell guns in schools. Take rights from people and give them corporations. To ruin our environment and to rape mother earth. Take away healthcare except for the wealthiest 1%.
I just don't believe there are that many of them. I'll bet there is voter fraud in this.

(2,805 posts)No matter what they say, they think Dems will raise taxes and if they can keep $1 more in their bank account at the end of the year then they will always vote against Dems. The abortion, guns and religious ideas are to rile up the poor people who might not vote Repub without them.
Nuclear waste being dumped a mile down the road--Fuck that!--if I elect a Dem. they will raise my taxes to clean it up. Better to keep my money and move out if necessary. It really is as simple as that from what I read between the lines. No forward thinking about ways to avoid the problems in the first place.

(17,651 posts)people big woo! and I'll be doggone if I have to kiss a man's tookus simply because he says so and there are plenty of gals who think the same way.
So what gives?! Has any Dem that you can recall actually said.....No one has ever taken away your guns, now have they? Or, no one is forcing you to have a relationship, marry and raise a family with a gay man or woman, are they? Or, would you want your daughter to be subservient to her husband, even if she risks death by not obliging?
No, we don't talk like that. Maybe it's time we did, especially where the 'CON message is the loudest, the strongest and most preposterous.
I don't even think we can call these people stupid anymore, more like braindead.

(65,616 posts)no government or if they do have one - that hates itself, they hate government intrusion but spy on their neighbors. They want to split the nation up and declare the Civil War - the War of Northern Aggression, some of them want to bring slavery back, they want to do away with welfare, medicare, everything that saves their asses in a pinch. They say they want to be left alone, but leave them alone and they blow up Federal buildings. They say they want to get Back To the Way it was - 1950s and segregated races.
Basically they want the Rapture and the South to rise again.
