Its easy being a Republican

[colkikinit 0]

The Rep party feeds on all of your insecurities and fears. They make you feel like your fears are realistic and justified, and that feels good. We ALL like that feeling!

The GOP has made being greedy not only acceptable but the right thing to do as an American. Its easy to be greedy.

The GOP has made it socially acceptable to be a racist, just look at the rash of racially ugly posts recently. Its easy to be a racist, we are, as human beings, inherently ethnocentric. However, as upright walking, fore brain having, reasonable humans we have the ability to make the decision not to be but it takes effort, its NOT EASY.

They have made being an dumb ass redneck bully socially acceptable. Even as a child when a bully is making fun of someone its easy to go along its hard to stand-up and do the right thing.

Republicans dont take responsibility for anything. Anytime there is a failure, or a lie is revealed there is an excuse to follow as to how someone else caused it. Even after the total failure of this White House for the last ~8 years no one takes any responsibility. If anyone was to run even their household budget much less their business budget the way the republicans have run our country you would be in bankruptcy or jail or both.

Even after the White House press sec comes out and tells the truth, do any republicans step up and say "we need to right those wrongs"? No they attack him for telling the truth. It is this solidarity to the ideal that if youre not with us your against us that helps win them elections.

Its hard to do the right thing. Its hard to decide that even though you MAY lose a little that its ok, because its for the greater good of the nation and your fellow man. Its hard to make concessions in your lifestyle even though its in effort to help conserve this planet for our kids. Its hard to give up a little of your lifestyle in exchange for someone less fortunate maybe having an extra shot at success. These are things you have to make an extra effort to do. The Republican mantra is an easy one, "the world is your trash can, and if you do climb up over the wall pull the ladder up". Its easy to be a republican.

I used to vote republican, as a child I was all about fiscal responsibility its what i was taught and how I was brought up. But that was then and that IS NOT the republican party of now. Fiscal responsibility or any responsibility for that matter is long gone from the GOP, that doesnt mean they wont win elections because they do and they will. Hell, when the bill of goods the GOP is selling is a warm squishy stamp of approval on your greedy, petulant child-like lives well thats an easy sell. Selling responsibility, now thats a tough sell... Its soo easy maybe Ill go back to voting republican the lack of responsibility back then was easy. But if I did that then i would end up in hell and I understand thats forever. And Ive grown accustom to taking responsibility for my life it would be weird to go back.

The GOP is a machine and ANYONE who will step up and do what they say has the very real possibility of being elected even old washed-up McCain and his joke VP Palen. But it wont be on the issues it will be on smear and fear mongering, just like 2000 and 2004. And I guess thats ok...

BTW, Im not afraid of whoever is elected, I own my house outright and have a substantial household income. But it is sad considering most of the people, even on this site, purporting the virtues of the Republican party are being negatively effected by these GOP policies all the while being manipulated by the GOP machine into working FOR the very institution that is negatively effecting there lives.

March On Irrisponsapublicans!!

take a deep breath, relax and don't clinch your teeth together, it will all be over in a couple of minutes...

Yep and as much as they advocate military action, they don't mean it for them and theirs, they mean it for the people they forbid welfare from; the poor, non-Republican types.
