I'm not a communist or even particularly liberal. I'm anti abortion in nearly every circumstance, but I also know that the Republicans have never really tried and never will try to do away with it. They'll dance around it and mess with Planned Parenthood and talk a lot, but they don't want it to go away or they'll lose all those one issue voters. Catholics in this country voted almost uniformly Democratic for generations until Roe Vs. Wade. If abortion becomes illegal again and is settled law, a ton of them will go back to voting Democratic. The GOP leadership knows this. Heck, Reagan could have been elected King in 84 and had the sway to get a constitutional amendment to outlaw it. Did he try? Bush had all the political capital in the universe after 9/11. Did he try to outlaw it?
No, Reagan used his popularity to cut taxes with the richest getting a 60% cut. While all you righties whine about Obama nearly doubling the debt you forget that Reagan tripled it, and that was without inheriting two wars and a recession. Reagan could have done everything he did without doing that. Obama has had much smaller annual deficits by GDP than Reagan or either Bush. In fact, all of the top ten smallest annual deficits of the last 50 years have come under Democrats.
And what about Bush and his political capital and all the patriotic zeal after 9/11? Did he use it for any good for the country or for any morally righteous legislation? Nope. He invaded Afghanistan with a US Army that could only field about half the men it did in 90 and then split his forces and invaded Iraq under false pretenses and cut taxes during war time for the first time in US history. So now over 4500 American service people are dead from the Iraq war [ the reasoning and justification for the invasion has never been fully investigated even ONCE by a Republican controlled Congress, while Benghazi, with the FOUR deaths, has been investigated SEVEN times] and about four trillion dollars are gone. So it's a war which has cost the average living taxpayer nothing. The only casualties have been our best and bravest[ the military and their families -BTW, I could have never been in the service due to my back but am the son, grandson and great grandson of men who have fought in Korea, WWII, WWI and the Civil War] and our children and grandchildren, who will inherit the debt we keep passing on.,
I could go on and on. I'm not a Communist. I'm a pretty conservative person who is simply sickened by the astonishing hypocrisy of a party which wraps itself in the flag and meanwhile sells the country out with lies while crying about the tax and spend of the Democrats while borrowing and spending itself. The Republicans cut nothing but continue to spend and unlike the Democrat, they refuse to pay as they go at least a little. It's a shell game that is gong to choke our heirs to death.
I'd rather vote for people I don't totally agree with who aren't using my own morality and patriotism against me to ruin our country. Righties cry about socialism but seem to be content to endure eventual feudalism, because that's where the GOP has tried to lead us to.
