5. That would be threatening if the republicans had any principles

but for people without principles it is the "means to an end" that is important to them.

Also, anyone who has ever believed the republicans rhetoric of:
1. Strong in defense
2. Moral...many times married, cheated on their wives
3. Family values
4. Strong in the economy - The USA always has the worst economy when repubs are in power.
5. War on gays...then every week one is outed
6. Christian values - I don't know any people who are more hateful than republicans, who care less about the poor, etc. etc.

And we all know I could go on and on....

VERY happy to send the troops off to war, but ignore them when they come home.
The way congress treats our vets is a national disgrace - just like IQ45 and congress.

that they should revisit the personal bankruptcy laws they allowed the credit card companies to re-write during the Bush administration.

I mean fair is fair, right? Because this "tax plan" (along with about every other GOP perk they could add on) is going to push a lot of people into it.

11. It doesn't matter to them. Their supporters don't care. This is a repeat of the Bush Tax Cuts.

Expected to blow up the deficit....which it did. It added most of the 1.5Trillion Dollars to the deficit, I read.

Do we hear anything about that now? No. The public forgets. Politicians forget. WE forget.

Also - the GOP can't ever lecture us about morals and values, or sex, or sex crimes ever again if they vote for Roy Moore and won't investigate Trump.
