I was poor, but a GOP die-hard: How I finally left the politics of shame

[akphidelt]

You have to be shitting me. Obama spends half his time raising money, what in the hell is going thru your mind (or empty space between your ears). Obama is all about money. He vacations in million dollar homes. He did not have a pot to pee in until he left community organizing and jumped full fledge into politics. And who has ragged on professors and scientists for not being millionaires. They simply prove that those who can't do, teach. Families that cannot afford healthcare were getting taken care of long before Obamacare, they were simply write offs, except for the hospital that Michelle Obama worked for who bused them to other facilities. You seriously just don't get it and you never will. Mooches do exist and in fact prosper in our society. Meanwhile you probably knock American exceptionalism. Liberals love to spend other peoples money. We cannot afford to get any further into debt. Obama is the best example of a modern day elitist as are the Clintons. Made their millions directly or indirectly from our pathetic political system. At least Romney made his on his own and saved our Olympics for no fee. Do you see him out charging thousands to give a speech. Get real dude.

LMAO!! You are out of touch with reality Russ. Even one of your conservative freaks called Romney out for taking so much in speaking fees...

Rick Santorum accused Mitt Romney of being out of touch with the American people, declaring Wednesday morning that Romney’s attitude toward his own lucrative speaking fees shows he can’t relate to regular people.


Romney has been under fire since Tuesday for saying he didn’t make “very much” on the speaker circuit, when in fact he made over $370,000 last year in paid appearances.

On Fox News, Santorum said that’s a bigger deal even than the low rate Romney paid on his income taxes – another issue on which the former Massachusetts governor is taking heat.


“The thing that is a difference … is to make a statement that I made a couple of extra bucks giving speeches, when that couple extra bucks is over $300,000,” Santorum said.

“I mean, that to me, says a little bit more about Gov. Romney and his connection with the American people than his tax rate, which is driven by a tax code.”


Asked if he was saying that Romney couldn’t relate to people because he’s rich, Santorum said that wasn’t exactly right.


“To refer to 300 and some thousand dollars as a few extra bucks, to me is – $300,000 isn’t a few extra bucks to me,” he said.

And those that can't do, teach? Teaching is doing something, one of the most important roles in society is education and educators. The fact you guys think so little of educators does not surprise me since you guys are so dumb, but it's embarrassing to think that Romney does more for society because he made money off his fathers friends, then someone that spends their lives educating our future generations.

Like I said, you guys have a messed up thought process, but that is why your wealthy masters love you guys. You will listen to whatever you say. This is a perfect thread of someone realizing that he is being brainwashed and used by people looking out for their best interest.

You are really dumb russ, not going to lie.

Romney is not a product of the political system, he made his money the hard way. The Clinton's have prospered from nothing but politics (except maybe for the "miracle" $1,000 investment she made lol). Brainwashed, you don't get it and you never will. This country has always been based on the free enterprise system and capitalism. The Clinton's and Obama are against that (except when it comes to collecting speaking fees and fundraising). Romney succeeded where they could not and did so in a competitive system. Brain washed is any liberal anti-capitalist who does not recognize what made this country great. What makes you think we are influenced by wealthy masters. I am a fiscal conservative dumb ass, do you know what that means. The capitalist system (when not over taxed) takes care of itself. Big Government relies soley on capitalists and taxpayers. No one can spend more than they take in, nobody. You probably say just print more money. The real world is not a monopoly game and the role of the government should be to promote business but not this administration. We have companies flocking out of this country due to high corporate tax rates. It is all part of the Obama agenda and you are too brainwashed to get it. If you do get it then you are a die hard Obama supporter which is even worse. Common sense is not in your arsenol (BB Guns and Slilngshots). If you think I and others are brainwashed then you simply don't get it. Many people come to the same conclusions for all the same reasons. We want this country to return to greatness and all you do is apologize for Obama. You are the dumb one and you are so brainwashed you can't tell the truth from a lie. Obama's entire agenda is based on deceit and lies. Hope and Change, how has that worked out for you lol.

Made his money the hard way?? By being born to a wealthy family? I guess that is pretty hard

And the other half spending it. Other than that he leads a pretty mundane life.

That just shows how out of touch you are. Yes, his family had money but he gave away his inheritance and then earned his own.

 

[russ1945]

Just shows it is "them" that are "brainwashed." Like there are no wealthy Democrats right. Obama has been to more fund raisers than imaginable. At least Bush quit playing golf when the wars were hot. Not Obama, golfing no matter what. Elitist thru and thru. You can be wealthy and not be an elitist but they don't get that either.

 

[MantisToboggan]

AH

you guys are overblowing the term comfortable and turning it Into wealthy. No human should be homeless. No human should be unable to get healthcare. That is what I mean by comfortable.
It's not based on envy and don't act like I'm some freeloader wishing I had money. I do very well for myself but a lot of people are not that lucky anymore. I just want fairness in society

What do you define as "fairness in society"? I don't disagree with you on homelessness and healthcare but words such as "fairness" and "comfortable" are broad terms that obviously mean different things to different people.

Obama and the people around him are are Obamunists -- Obama is the prototypical Obamunist -- a blend of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Che, Capone, Billy Sunday, Boss Tweed, Muhammad, and Tupac -- they are hybrids -- they use all the tools -- whatever will get them power and keep them in power.

An Obamunist believes the orders must come from them, the enlightened ones, through the bureaucracy, to the People. They wrap their stuff up in fancy slogans, but their goal is power -- and they believe they are entitled to it.

Homeless people should have help if they don't have food or water.

BTW.....luck has nothing to do with it.

The Terrorist supporting POS doing what he does. Romney gave away his inheritance AFTER he earned on his own, since George Romney died in 1995 when Mitt was already 48. And shockingly Russ couldn't even connect the dots on this silly, partisan hack lie.

Did you say Romney gave away his inheritance. You are the one who can't connect the dots. Which reminds me of the question you always duck. Have you ever looked at Obama's past and his associates and supporters. Just wondering. Connecting those dots is a no brainer.

Sure, AFTER he had become a mega millionaire, NOT before, like the terrosrist supporting POS claimed. It's easy to give $10 to charity when you have 1,000,000. Connect those dots.
I've looked at Obama's past and supporters many times, when I was considering whether to vote for him or not back in 2007. Discovered most of it was based on lies and innuendo, so like most sane people, considered that a non issue. Of course it won't stop you from claiming I "ducked" the question, which I've actually answered many times.

Wrong, his campaign was based on lies. Again you Alinsky up with a sanity reference. Your zipper will always be down. You call that an answer. By the way who paid for his college education since you connected all those dots.

Go Allinsky Yourself. Cue the coming laughable snopes is left wing response from The Silly Dot Head.

My question is this? Why did this topic of free loading become such a main topic since Obama took office? Was it the Tea Party or just the first topic the right could come up with to denounce O? The people I know who abuse the system just didn't start the past 6 years, this shit has been going on for some time now. I know people will say he has over extended and I know I will get shit, but the economy was in very bad shape, without more money being given to the poor, the economy would have fallen further behind? Wouldn't have? I would really like to know what the numbers are on a percentage of how many people are abusing the system. I guess we would all like to know. As far as socialism vs. Capitalism, well I think you need a balance of both somehow. I am not saying an equal balance but socialism has to fit in somewhere.

The media and the mislead uneducated bringing it to headlines. We all have heard the idiots thinking Obama was going to pay for everything. Maybe the free phones was what started it. Your right it has always been around and will always be around. The sickening thing is the pride that many Americans have lost due to the nanny state argument has been brought to headlines. There once was a since of pride that Americans had that it was an insult and secret if you received help. Now it almost has become non-embarrassing that you need help. As the socialist issue.....I don't agree with any socialism on a national level.

I agree, I personally would be embarrassed if I was able to work and did not, I feel sorry for those who really need the assistance who get scrutinized, but it takes only a few to ruin it for all. I a know one who has "flat feet" is 40, gets a check, plays pool and drinks a pitcher every night, lives in gov housing, been that way for 20 years. How does a MD get away with it? He should have to sit on a couch and stare at a white wall for 8 hours. I also have a cousin who they say has schizo? I don't know if I believe that, he has really good meds if he does have it, his ass should be working too, but he only looks for "cash jobs." Both should be ashamed

Problem is the thought process that the only people needing welfare are able bodied men who choose not to work. That's a myth that is perpetuated by conservatives. Lot of people needing welfare need it because of children. There are very few single 20-30 year old something males that can qualify for welfare payments. If welfare was so easy to get for 20-30 year old men you wouldn't see the poverty and crime we see in some of these inner cities. Getting enough money to live with a good standard of living with out working is not as easy as you guys make it out to be.
