damnedifIknow (2,141 posts) None Dare Call It Treason: Why Republicans Won *Let's begin the 2016 campaign season by calling Republican politicians by their true name: traitors. Enemies of the United States of America. The Republican descent into treason began with Ronald Reagan and his deplorable "Reaganomics." At the forefront of this philosophy were three big lies: helping the rich get richer would inevitably help everyone else; markets were inherently self correcting and therefore there was no need for government regulation; and the US did not need an economic strategy because that was a natural consequence of the free market. In 1981, the Republican Party embraced plutocracy and ushered in a thirty-year period where America's working families were abandoned in favor of the rich. Inequality rose as middle class income and wealth declined. As corporate power increased, unions were systematically undermined. As CEO salaries soared, fewer families earned living wages. *On August 29th, President Obama identified the Republican political strategy: "There has been a certain cynical genius to what have done in Washington. What they've realized is, if we don't get anything done, then people are going to get cynical about government and its possibilities of doing good for everybody" And the more cynical people get, the less they vote. And if turnout is low and people don't vote, that pretty much benefits who benefit from the status quo." That's what happened in 2014. Republican voters turned out but Democrats were depressed about the prospects for change and didn't vote." Liberals can fight back. We can call Republicans on their immoral plan to ruin democracy. Liberals must call Republicans by their true names: traitors." http://www.opednews.com/articles/None-Dare-Call-It-Treason-by-Bob-Burnett-Republican_Republican-Extremism_Republican-GOP-Dirty-Tricks_Republican-Hypocrisy-141107-193.html
99th_Monkey (10,004 posts) 2. Nice one.It is a sorry-ass list of ReThug high crimes, treason & treachery ...GOP gutter rats are so low, nothing is beneath them. There is verifiable evidence that these 7 forms of election buggery by GOP have occurred on a wide scale.: 1) onerous "Jim Crow" voter ID requirements (see Texas) 2) "Official" misinformation about polling place location, date of election etc. distributed to deliberately mislead Democratic voters. 3) arranging for unbearably long-lines in heavily Democratic precincts w/ too few voting machines 4) "running out of" ballots in ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ heavily Democratic precincts 5) taking machines in heavily Democratic precincts off-line for "maintenance" 6) "losing" registration records 7) tracking ^above^ and then (in closing hours) hacking electronic-voting machines (as needed to "close the deal") in final stretch. Looking the other way on these ^ is NOT doing the Democratic party any favors.

yallerdawg (591 posts) 11. What do you call those who seek to destroy their own country, their own government? Who said, "Government is the problem." Who supports unrestricted gun ownership to defend themselves from the government, "like our founding fathers meant?" Who said, "Our number one goal is to make Obama a one term president" (like nothing else had been going on)?
The kooks are starting to come out of the woodwork.
Earwigs? Does it take out bedbugs too?
It certainly can't be good for them.If Judy Grasswipe shows up, I'll be ready!
If she shows up with LFR, you'll be in trouble.
Are they having a mole convention over there? Or are they just trying to make the DOTY list?
Hell, if Amber shows up, we'll have Mexican crab lice to worry about, too!
I'm ready for them.
