The only thing the Republican Party has going for it is the Right-Wing Talk Radio Propaganda Noise Machine -- Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, ad nauseum, et al -- and its listening audience of gullible, susceptible lemmings. Today's Right-Wing Talk Radio audience is just like the Japanese kamikaze pilots of World War II who were brain-washed by Japanese propaganda into crashing their planes into the sides of American battle ships and killing themselves. Rush Limbaugh, et al, now enjoy a modern-day audience of American kamikaze suiciders who currently commit political hari kari and self-immolation in response to their daily dose of Right-Wing radio propaganda.
What benefit did the Japanese World War II pilots achieve for themselves and their families by crashing their planes into the sides of American battle ships? And, what benefit is today's American Right-Wing kamikaze audience achieving by falling for the lies of Rush Limbaugh and other Right-Wing propagandists, and voting against their own economic interests -- against unions, against higher minimum wages, against Social Security, against expanded health care, against anything that could possibly improve their lives, and for more tax breaks and unregulated plunder for the rich?

Rather than just shallowly bash the Right over and over again while offering no compelling argument for the Left, how about defining in detail your vision of the perfect model for the U.S.A.
Lay out your ideas regarding economic models, foreign policy, the scope of government control of such services as health care, education, and welfare, and so on. Enumerate everything you stand for, everything you want this country to adhere to, in detail. Don't just say "I want a country with no conservatives!" That doesn't cut it. Besides, then you would no one to blather on about.
Lay out your vision of the ideal government, from federal to state, and everything it should encompass.
unions,
higher minimum wages,
Social Security,
expanded health care
Would you admit that there are serious downsides to all of the above?
Why does the government need to regulate all of the above? Instead of letting individuals take care of themselves?
Because individuals can't take care of themselves. Money is Power.
You know The Golden Rule: Those who have the Gold make the Rules.
There are much more serious downsides to not having "the above".
Your policies are a recipe for Feudalism -- one Lord of the Manor, one King of the Castle, and everyone else vassals and slaves.
You don't believe in Capitalism -- unless you mean the medieval Darwinian Capitalism of Charles Dickens' time -- Survival of the Fittest --- as opposed to the regulated, healthier capitalism of more recent years, which has spread prosperity to millions more people than your old-style 19th century robber baron capitalism did.
There you go, bashing again, like a broken record of a bad tune, rather than doing what was suggested above.
"Because individuals can't take care of themselves. Money is Power."
It is really scary that some people think like you. Who in the United States of America CAN'T go and earn money?
The problem with most people is they cant save money or invest it wisely. Instead they go and finance a new car and are slaves to the finance company for the next seven years. Then they pay way more then they ever should have paid.
Some people have figured out how to build wealth and it doesnt start with a huge income.
Work hard and live on less than you make. Save and invest!
Check out Dave Ramsey, he has alot of stange but good advise on how to become well off or wealthy.
Listen to the show and hear the suffering from people making $100,000/yr and another caller who is living it up and raising two kids making less than half that.
DEBT FREE AND LOVIN IT!!!
