My Humble Opinion:
Republicans worship the god-almighty dollar over everything else.You can see that in some of the posts right here!
Their main worry is "who's coming after my money?"
Democrats worship the quality and freedom of the human spirit.We are happy to live in a state which has good schools, safe neighborhoods, job opportunities,
and cultural diversity. We don't mind paying reasonable taxes to secure those goals.
Even the most tight-fisted, fiscally conservative neo-con doesn't ask whether his child DESERVES
a college education. He knows the child (and the neighborhood) will benefit from a college degree,
"deserved" or not.
He pays the bills because there is a genuine love of family.The tight-wad would even pay for the hospital costs of a beloved family member.
The only difference for Democrats is who they consider "family." (Clue!)
It's the Christian thing to do.
Get off your sanctimonious horse and tell me how Christian abortions, gay marriage and transgenders are. Since the Democrat party runs on the above topics, it's not correct they are a Christian party, as you suggest.
And, isn't it funny how the neediest people are the ones who don't get around to getting an education, saving money for a rainy day or even getting a job? Poor things, they can't keep from making mistake after mistake and then crying how poor they are. Naturally, since most needy people don't pay taxes, why should they care that some of us pay through the nose? And of course, they have spent all their money on alcohol, tattoos and drugs so must get some food stamps to make ends meet. Poor things.
The working class can not and should not be asked, to save the entire world.
Save your lame speech for the suckers that will buy it. And that would be other Democrats.
What separates a Democrat from a Republican is the fact that we Republicans see through the crap about giving and caring, as the Democrats tout being, and see them as abusing the taxes they are given. It's just a con and it's been going on for generations.
Why is it California has millions to remodel the governor's mansion yet no money to fix the roads? How come California is more focused on a sports stadium and a high speed train when there are about a million homeless with mental problems? They put that cost on the ballet for us to pay, while they take other funds to pay for "Pet Projects". They waste millions of dollars, put us into debt then have the gall to say they need more money.
The Dummy-rats are fools for believing their lies, year after year.
(Now, here's where you tell me I have much too much anger....or some stupid comment like that. Because of course, you have nothing of substance to reply with.)
