To Republicans- How have Republican policies benefited your life?

[The True Adonis]

Can any of you tell me what specific Republican policies have you benefited from and who was responsible for them?


I also would like links provided. 

Thanks.

I don't know that any politician (except State and local) has done anything but damage in my life time? 

I'd say the Republicans are better actors than the democrats, making themselves look more promising.  Until they're elected and fuck everyone in the ass just like their Democratic opponent would have.

So its safe to say Republicans are ineffective and have not really helped you in any way that you can think of.

Neither side has helped me as far as I can tell. 

I'm for whichever side looks to do less to ruin things.  When both sides plan to ruin lots of things, but one side has already been ruining things for the past few years I choose not to reward currently active ruinings.

We're not really looking for help from either party, I think most of us our looking for the party that we'll quit trying to help.  The greatest benefit would be had by the party that quit trying to "help", and started doing what's right.

The issue of greatest importance to me would be government over stepping it's bounds.  The erosion of our Constitutional rights.  Which is clearly bipartisan.

I can get along very well on my own, my family and friends can to.  We're very capable of running our own lives.

Which party do you think has done more damage to Constitutional rights or wants to take away more rights in general/limit personal freedom.

This.
Neither side has done shit to benefit me. And I don't really expect them to. They aren't there to provide for me.

Both parties have. In recent times, I'd say the Bush II era neo-cons have probably dont more damage to personal rights. Although the recent NDAA was pretty serious.

So in hindsight, Al Gore would have been a better choice both times if you had a do over?

I voted for Bush 2x, and in hindsight, I probably simply would not have voted. Gore was a fucking idiot as well. At the time, it was "Please god anyone but Gore". Its kind of funny because 08 everyone was "Please god anyone but the Republicans/Bush".

As far as I can tell both parties have been absolutely equal on their disdain of our freedom.  I guess pandora's box was really opened under the rein of Bush/Cheney.

You're a very wealth individual, and your parents/grandparents employed a lot of people.  Can I ask you which party has been better to your family?

[The True Adonis]

Republicans have historically outspent Democrats and have directly caused more inflation.  Republicans have also been historically responsible for instating the highest Tax rates.  Republicans have also been historically opposed to abortion rights, gay rights, personal freedoms-drugs, prostitution etc...


If we are keeping score here, Republicans are more damaging if we were to do a meta-analysis. What is there to suggest that continuing to vote Republican will be any different, historically speaking?

I am not looking for a party to benefit me.   I am looking to be left the fuck alone and keep as much of my own hard earned money as possible.

And locally - the Democrat party has destroyed everything and most major cities.  Detroit, Chicago, Bronx, Cary, Ind. Camden NJ, Philly, etc etc etc

Someone refute this, I can't.

Democrats.  My Grandfather went to jail due to the 92 percent tax rate (he didn`t want to pay) and because of the IRS at the time focusing on Jewish discrimination brought on by McCarthyism.

LOL - it was obama who signed the NDAA, rammed through obamacare, prosecuted more whistelblowers than anyone, prosecuted medical pot growers, waged a war on religion,  killed american citizens via drone strikes w no explanation, etc etc etc  


Both parties have blood on their hands.

The top rate is nonsense as there were a lot more deductions back then and no one paid the top rates.

I think both parties are not really working in the best interests of the collective (wether leaving us alone or providing us with the ability to facilitate necessities (bridges,roads,trains,schools) , however I do believe it is really our fault, as humans.  We are simply over-breeding, gobbling up our own limited resources and shitting where we sleep and expecting different results.

No shit.  If you're relying on the altruism of people who gain their position by winning a popularity contest (which more-or-less necessitates they put themselves before others), then you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.

I appreciate the much lower taxes I pay thanks to Reagan and Bush.

Except for that, Republicans suck almost as much as Democrats. Which is why it's so important for Ron Paul folks and libertarians to take over the Party.
