Similarly, when we're not supporting the middle class, protecting their jobs and giving them a chance and an oppertunity to succed I think thats decidedly unamerican.

The propoghanda masters say is "socialism" but giving more to the wealthy is an aristocracy. The fact is we're taxing the middle class to holy hell, their the engine by which any economy runs.

When I was growing up the republicans we're the party of good logic. A common phrase you'd hear from them is "well this is a nice idea and we'd love for everyone to have everything, but in practice this just doesn't work." The republicans have given up their logic-based pragmatism and this is exactly one place you can see if ten-fold. They serve Main Street on social issues. As far as the economy goes well...their now big government, their now no-tax and spend. Their imperialists when they used to preach non-intervention.

The republicans have sold you out, not one man, but as a party. They need to lose really bad twice (at least) until they realize you can't treat the nation as a fuedal system.
Whoa, Nellie-Belle!

Making them lose isn't a very practical way to get their attention ~ in fact, it could very well backfire, horribly. What if they decide, hey, folks want what the DEMS are offering, which, as you pointed out, is exactly what they're doing right now.

When you think about just HOW MANY things would need to change, and change DRASTICALLY, to get our Government back on track,

well, it's disheartening...
