Listening to the Voices in My Head

There is a highway funding bill, an infrastructure bill, being debated on. This is so needed, as the roads and bridges in the U.S. are in serious need of repair and maintenance.

What the GOP is trying to do is attach a rider to the bill, something that has zilch to do with fixing roads or bridges.They want to slip in banking deregulations. SotH Paul Ryan, The House Freedom Caucus (aka The Tea Party) and a well known DINO, Patrick Murphy.

Does anyone really want to go back to how the banks gambled with your money, and when they lost it, YOU had to pay to bail them out again?

So far, the GOP has been attempting to move heaven and earth to make sure their candidate sits in the oval office. They know that he can't win by fair means, and are doing all they can to make sure he get there by foul means.

So far, the GOP has (in no particular order):

Changed/restricted or gotten rid of early voting in districts that would favor democratic ticket. (One Republican politician bragged that they changed the PA voter laws so Romney would win the state.)

Engaged in voter intimidation. (GOP and TeaNuts harassing voters at the polls, making all sorts of demands, and just interfering)

Putting up signs saying show photo ID, and in itty bitty almost unreadable text "Voluntary not mandatory", but when people walk away not having the ID, not bothering to tell them, again, in areas that would favor Democratic candidates.

Voter suppression via illegal voter purges, or flat out lying to voters (example, telling voters in Wisconsin that if you've been convicted of a felony, you can't vote. Yes, you can if you've served your sentence, you are free to vote)

Voter Fraud - Republican worker who works for company with strong ties back to Romney/Karl Rove was busted throwing away filled out voter registration cards. Another one was fraudulent voter registration forms submitted in Florida by a firm the Republican Party hired.

This is just some of the shenanigans the GOP is up to. Let's be real, if the Democratic party did any of these, the GOP would be exploding.

But what gets me about all of this is the blind eye the republican supporters seem to have. If this shit was done TO GOP supporters they would be screaming blue bloody murder! That's called "Hypocrisy". Learn the word, all those who are ignoring what the GOP and it's supporters are doing, because the word hypocrite is readily applied to you.

for daring to say he will raise taxes, I present to you, a bit of cold hard facts, provided by the US Treasury Department.



So, care to give up that hoary old lie? Or do you prefer to keep deluding yourself? How's that working out for you so far?

But whenever President Obama mentioned anything that even intimated that the tax breaks/loopholes/breaks for the wealthy and corporations were going to go away, there was suddenly a sea of GOP "cat asses".. aka pucked with disapproval GOP mouths. They aren't worried about jobs, because they have one already, their health care is on the taxpayers dime.

Cantor, not 5 minutes out of the hall started spinning the jobs plan. I listened to him. I can't understand how after all the obstructionism the GOP has been pulling, that people will actually believe what's falling out of his mouth.

So with like with the Healthcare reform, is the GOP is going to try gut it to make it next to useless. What I liked about the president's speech is it stated in quite clearly: the plans for the jobs incorporates things that the GOP were all for. Now, if they suddenly start dragging their heels, or try to gut it I just hope that republican VOTERS (not donators and bribers) finally see them for what they are. Money grubbing bought and paid for cronies who have forgotten they are supposed to be servants of the people, not there for billionaires and corporations and special interest groups, but PEOPLE. What has to happen for the GOP to clue up? Does a bridge have to collapse, killing someone wealthy before they realise that the bridges and roads need to be repaired?
