Steve Benson for November 09, 2012

Hey these old duds still haven’t forgiven America for the civil war. (If you don’t believe me, take a look at a group picture of the southern states’ GOP House members.) I give them at least 1000 years to get over Obama.

Must not be loaded down with excessive masses of cash stashed away in the Cayman Islands or numbered Swiss bank accounts? Must be using the cash to create jobs.

Let’s see, white men BUILT this country.You mean after said rich white “Christian” men stole the western hemisphere from the indigenous peoples and subjugated them to near extinction.

I actually voted for one local Republican, the first in 30 years, but otherwise I voted all Democrat, yes to keeping the state Supreme Court Justices, and NO on the 11 constitutional amendments.

The left would say, “WE built that – together.” Seems much more accurate.

Let’s see, white men built the railroad – oh yeah, with Chinese labor they then treated like dogs. They built the south – oh yeah, with black slave labor they treated like dogs. I wonder if the indigenous people killed and displaced by white men feel it has already been destroyed.

This is exactly the kind of mentality that is keeping the country from moving forward. The liberals keep on coming up with these lies and people keep on believing them. Hitler’s words were true, if you tell a lie big enough, long enough, and loud enough, people will start believing them. The truth is that the Republican party stands for Republic of the United States of America and wishes to keep the American dream alive for all people, regardless of color, ethnicity, or creed. Of course, not all Republicans are perfect expressing this. The Democrats keep on pressing divisive issues like racism and class warfare, but your’e losing the battle at that. People are tired of hearing it. People are starting to realize that the Democrat party does nothing but exploitation. They exploit the poor, the minority, and every person they can to advance their goals. No lie is too big for the Democrats, no person is beyond their exploitation. The Democrats use people, then forget them like yesterday’s news. To the Democrats, the end justifies the means, it doesn’t matter who they lie to or how much they hurt people to get to their goals.

Portraying white men as the enemy? Now who’s racist and sexist? I guess the 1% wasn’t enough people to vilify. Keep up that attitude and you’ll lose all grounds for pretending to be the “inclusive” party. I’m curious how many white men voted for Obama and whether they appreciate this new rhetoric?

The right wing meme du jour is “free stuff”.Keep it up o ignorant one.Just to enlighten you my ignoramus lord. Like most other groups, Hispanics are here seeking opportunity and the American dream. They voted their interest.

From St. Augustine, to San Antonio, to San DIego, it seems the Republicans forget who was here for several centuries before any “Anglo” occupiers. They also didn’t score points in some circles by insisting for years that a certain mulatto was “Kenyan”.

Those idiot Republicians think that a Moderate canditate like Romney was the answer to our problems. Even though he is a successful businessman and would have been more successful in creating more jobs in this country than Obama, he has alot of money and that is bad. No one should have more money than the next guy. As long as we can borrow enough money to give people food stamps and welfare checks we will be fine.

" Hispanics voted for Obama for the same reason other groups did: goodies. "I don’t agree with you. Your assertion is that Hispanics want ‘goodies’. That’s the way right is trying to characterize minorities. I can read through your euphemism. You’re still ignorant.

some of ansonias best friends are mexicans. they make great roofers, and gardiners. and oh, those empinadas!!!

How about opening the borders to EVERYONE, feed them, give them free medical, a free education and to pay for it we should tax every working American 70% to 80% and that will take care of all our problems. THAT will make us a compassionate nation. And if that doesn’t work, lets go back to what made this Country the greatest ever known, CAPITALISM. (don’t have a hissy fit Benson) I know you don’t like the C work. Sorry

i am a registered republican, so i can understand why you say i am disgusting. typcial of your ilk, you are revising history about what you said. now you say you never mentioned their occupations, but what do you call mexicans fixing your roof?

i voted for obama, and not because he’s giving me “goodies”. your assertion that any group voted for him because he gave them goodies is innaccurate and disgusting.

obama didn’t promise to lower my taxes. obama didn’t promise me anything except i believe he will honestly try for the country. mitt’s promises were ‘bait and switch’. that’s why i didn’t vote for mitt.

@archeryboy, i assume when you say capitalists you are referring to the robber baron era of andrew carnegie, cornelius vanderbilt and john rockafeller, that gave us some of the great american things we have today. that is before we went anti-monopoly. ah for the good old days.

Ok dude, tomorrow is a new day. I’m done.

“The first thing we need to do is seal the border.”-If businesses are prosecuted for hiring illegals, it will be waaaay more effective than trying to seal the border.-Like you described, they come for the jobs. Eliminate the jobs and you eliminate the illegals. -America has NOT decided to shut the door. There are too many industries and too many small businesses that depend on the cheap labor.-In California, legislation was proposed (by Republicans) to require agriculture to hire only legal labor. The farming industry reacted immediately and emphatically ( they screamed their heads off) and the legislation disappeared.-Sealing the border is not only not effective, but nobody, meaning business and industry, would want it if it were effective.

It is not a solution to the problem, only something to argue and finger point about.-The problem is not: We don’t want illegals here.-The problem IS: We don’t want illegals here except for those who supply cheap labor for agriculture, meat packing, construction, gardening, personal servants, millions of small businesses and lots more that I don’t even know.

@archeryboy,you explaining capitalism to me is like a virgin explaining sex to a mother.

i am a job creator. i have run a small business that employs 21 people and have operated it successfully for over 27 years. just like the stock market does better during democrat administrations (this is a fact), the republicans have done nothing, ever to help with my small business. the republican definition of a small business is a sad joke, bain capital qualifies, and if you’ve read what romney at bain (created thousands of chinese jobs at the expense of thousands of american jobs, and held up the feds to make himself wealthier) you’d see how poor his experience was to ‘fix’ our economy.

that being said, you pine for the days of vanderbilt and carnegie and rockefeller. we made anti-monopolistic laws in this country for a reason. perhaps you should learn what unbridled capitalism leads to before you call for the halcyon days of unbridled capatlism.

the chinese today are capatalists, Nazi germany was highly capitalistic and there are more examples.

capitalism is neither good nor bad, it’s a system, and in history, one that needs careful and thoguhtful regulation.

I am glad that the airplanes i fly on are regulated, for one example.

^supporting article. and if you don’t like the source of the article follow the links to the FACTs- the documents released under the freedom of information act.

i suppose the republicans ought to try to eliminate the Freedom of information act now.

^BTW regarding the rant, it wasn’t “Hitler”, but Paul Joseph Goebbels who made the “tell a lie often enough” comment, as Hitler’s propaganda minister. That IS exactly the premise the RNC, and GOP “handlers” like Rove, have followed. In the “media” today, we have Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter (yep, SHE should talk about “treason”), and others on the radical right with microphones, or computers, dedicated to the same premise. Are there perhaps a few on the left as well? Perhaps, but not a drop in the proverbial “bucket” by comparison.

Which, if the government, either left or right, doesn’t reveal what our covert operations are up to, it is not the failure to disclose that is the danger, rather those who feel the media should have the right to endanger our troops, and yes, those who operate “covertly” around the world. There IS a difference between a blatant lie, like “WMDs”, and whether we had, or didn’t, folks and capabilities in Libya “doing things”.

Funny how some on this board think the only way Obama won was because he promised “goodies”. Time for those geniuses to open their eyes and ears to facts. One of which is that the majority of Obama supporters DO work and contribute to our society. If you’d quit demonizing people maybe your party might have a chance in the future.
