If Republicans are the "party of personal responsibility"...

Post Reply New Topic

They are not the party of logic. People espouse moral ideals so they don't actually have to live up to them and practice what they preach....it's the oldest trick in the book. And yes, many liberals are just as guilty of this(like Social Justice Warriors in particular).

To reach my level, you actually need to go up.

That's the advantage of sitting on my high horse.

This all just proves Democrats/left-leaning people, like Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton for example, are the true beacons of personal responsibility. (Kappa)

As for Republicans, though? For all their valid points, they're still the paragons of bad ideas and bad times. Don't let America pay for the GOP's sins, guys. :/

And they accuse me of trolling...

I don't even want to get into this, always turns into the same circular discussion but regrettably I am going to post....I know what I believe and it convinces me Bernie Sanders is the only viable candidate with a chance.

Republicans claim to want small government, yet they have no problem having the nation run by the wealthy elite 1%ers who have no obligation to serve the public. And when it comes to what they do want the government enforcing its usually attempts at religious morality based legislation.....like defunding planned parenthood, banning abortion or even contraceptives, undoing the legalization of gay marrige all things that can be traced back to christians wanting to force their religious morals.

The government shouldn't tax us, provide public services and a social safety network for those struggling, that's unreasonable they should be telling you how to live your personal life and catering to the uber wealthy and treating corporations as people.

Don't limit that to Republicans, the rest all work for the same money, and say or at least vote for the same stupid things.

I like Bernie even more, he surges in the polls when the Government refuses to release Hillary's emails, because they are Top Secret and Above. Bernie has the momentum, and the Party, the DNC, brings in Bloomberg, or maybe Biden, because they never thought Bernie could beat Hillary.

Bernie was allowed to run as a Democrat, but not win.

On the other side they are trying to derail Trump.

I favor a Trump/Sanders ticket, Party politics is the problem.

We are in trouble, we need a National Unity Ticket.

I wish to bathe in the tears of King Makers.

The nature of power is the ability to deflect responsibility onto those with less power than yourself.

People don't hold themselves to the same standards they hold others to. It's a convenient way to pursue your self-interest without tarnishing your reputation(so long as you can do it tactfully and manage to get away with it).


Which is why those who run around telling everyone else that they're not entitled to anything have a monumental sense of entitlement of their own.

Yea. Pretending there's anything moral in modern politics is naive. For the people that pull the levers it's all about power struggle. They want more for them and less for everyone else. It's such a joke.

Lobbyists! That's who.

Prisoners are a source of cheap labor for large corporations, which have contracts with the government to employ prisoners. That's why they want to maximize the number of inmates and keep em there as long as possible. Increasingly, prisons are being privatized in many states and management is contracted out to a company. The result is that these institutions are now run by inmates and the guards get lower wages and often allow drug dealing in prisons to supplement their salaries.

i agree, it's disgusting how politicians treat issues as fountains of brownie points instead of problems to be solved.

mostly because you are....
