Stop voting Republican!

I was over visiting Tom Degans blog The Rant today, if you haven't been there yourself please go, he does a great job! Anyway, he did the post about Michael Moore's 15 things we can do right now and then offered up a 16th, "STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN" !! I emailed Tom and got permission to post this list he had up. Like he says, he wrote this over 3 years ago but look at the relevence pertaining to todays republican party and what they are doing to us!! Alot of these things Tom wrote are things rethugs are blaming dems for doing. They are such hypocrites!!! Its an eye-opener for sure. After you read please go see Tom!


By Tom Degan:
I then posted something I wrote on this site over three years ago. Here it is again with only minor editing:

(Why we should not ever again vote Republican!)


They have cut the throats of the poor and the middle class.

They have looted our national treasure.

They have abandoned their constituency in favor of a multi-national corporate behemoth and an out-of-control military industrial complex.

They have created a global, geo-political catastrophe in the Middle East that will take at least a century to remedy.

They have shoveled a generation of American children into an untenable slaughterhouse in Iraq.

They have engendered an economic nightmare so immense that generations yet unborn will still be bearing its burden.

They have sold our nation's soul to the highest corporate bidder. They have made a mockery of the First Amendment.

They have squandered a trillion-plus dollar surplus with a tax cut for a class of people who didn't need it.

They have gutted vital social programs that aid the poor and the elderly which have been in place for over seventy years.

They have gutted laws meant to protect working men and women.

They have plundered the environment.

They have depleted our educational system.


They have hijacked this nation's political dialogue.


They have ruined our international reputation.


They have handed our domestic agenda over to religious fanatics.


They have stolen two national elections.


They have trampled on our constitution.


They have sent our Bill of Rights through the sausage grinder....


They must never - EVER - be allowed to govern our country again.


The grand old party is over.

that is so funny. Notice how

independents/republicans combined with republicans are geting 70% support? It seems like the votes are taking away from republicans not the 30% of the democrats.
That means without them you would
see more republican votes. But hey keep trying to convince yourselves because many Americans are so disgusted with this administration right now.
More so than you'd care to admit.

Couldn't agree with you more about Tom's posts. They are exceptional -well thought out, written and researched. Profound is the word I think I'm looking for.

Great post from Tom.

Yes, but they're against fags and abortion! Fags and abortion must be stopped at any cost!

The fact is, the right wing in this country is now based on, and dominated by, religious fundamentalism. That's the basis of its appeal to the constituency it still has. All this economics stuff is peripheral.

you are exactly right Infidel. Abortion is their platform and how can they win on that? I am only saying I'm pro-choice people, don't read anything sinister in my comment.
