It is time to make the Republicans pay a price for breaking up the middle class

and sending good jobs to the lowest bidder in order to make a permanent underclass.

Politically pay a price! We need to get the message out

Every problem we have in society today can be traced to Republican greed and maneuvering to create the great underclass.

Point in fact.

The reason the republicans are 99.9% behind union busting is because it was a real base for the Democratic party. They have been working 24/7 since the late 70's to destroy that union base.

The unions are what gave us the middle class. They were manufacturing jobs that went from being basically slave labor to the corporations, to jobs that were safe, with child protection laws, a 40 hour week, a decent wage that let us have a family unit that could have one parent working and the other home taking care of children during those littlest years. (I will not even begin to touch how having young children separated from their parents during the formative year, leads to drug abuse, early sexual activity, and loss of familial identity, that grounds children) It gave our parents a retirement that left them independent and able to get their own children in college, and up the work scale.

How did the republicans do this heinous crime. Through getting rid of the fairness doctrine, and then attacking unions on hate radio, and getting to the low information voter who over a period of time, moved their allegiance to the manufacturer and not their fellow worker.

It took time and money and a plan of a new world order of a world based on economic factors (the elder Bush doctrine) and not a country's historical legacy.

So am I surprised that it was republicans refusing to acknowledge how the union workers were the first to make sacrifices to try and save the auto plants.. and instead attempt to break up the last great union bastion. Not a bit. What I am surprised by is the lack of knowledge by some on the historical meaning behind all of this. I mean really surprised at what I am reading.

What if a Repub senator were put in the "hot seat" and asked repeatedly "Why does the Republican Party want to destroy the Middle Class?" Repeat and repeat this question and make them squirm. I for one would like to hear their lame-ass answers...

But with the huge media mega groups now, and these talking heads are part of a power strata. That is why they have such a hard time, understanding where the average Americans is economically. They still see themselves as working joes and janes, but their reality and the average working persons reality is quite different.

I always would get a kick out of these people who would say, you need to say six months salary back for hard times.. HELLO, the jobs that would allow a person to do that have been shipped out.

...at one time reporters were part of the middle class

Don't expect someone who travels in a limousine to be too hard on someone who travels in a limousine.

Republicans---who is going to criticize the Republicans.

The Democrats could not even stand together for one bill that
was specifically Middle Class or Working Class.

God help Obama. His own party will be his enemy.

A person could vote across party lines in some issues, but if every vote a person does is a republican vote, or a vote to keep a republican structure in place, then they no longer have the RIGHT to claim the mantle of Democrat, and being a part of our great Democratic Party and tradition.

It is a road they freely chose.

It's not like the Republicans have done this all on their own.

look at Warren Buffet. Poverty and class is not what defines Democrats, it is philosophy. Class distinctions are how Republicans define the power brokers of their party

environmental standards (and they pushed deregulation for the big money players AFTER deregulation led to the S&L debacle which cost the taxpayers billions). Any idiot could see where this was going to lead.

What a philosophy.

every day!!!

this week, dutifully reciting some of the urban legends that the Repukes are sending out. And just before the UAW press conference, MSNBC has a big banner "Pew Research and Marist polls show that MAJORITY of people opposed auto bailout". Well, how dandy and convenient for them...and this is after polls a few days ago that said the majority of the public was for the auto bailout. But now the Republicans disgusting behavior can be excused, because gosh darn it, it's what the PUBLIC wants! I'm about to throw up here.

sounded like she was spouting out a direct message from Limbaugh. Our media does not do work anymore, or think for themselves, they have fallen into being "low information" types themselves.
