The GOP is the Party of Death 2012-02-14T01:57:15Z http://gopexposed.com/comments/atom.aspx Quick Blogcast tag:www.gopexposed.com,2012-01-18:15562761 Dan 2012-01-18T17:05:05Z 2012-01-18T17:05:05Z Be careful about branding what's happening with the GOP as a, "circular firing squad" I actually see order in what they are doing. To wit: The "attack" on Bain capital was launch to HELP Romney, not hurt him. The more you talk about Bain:<br /> 1. You're only animating the folks who were already inclined to vote for you.<br /> 2. Any debate that allows the GOP to go to their standard, "apples-to-apples equating (personal) business success to government success ("gov't jobs don't count") is a political loser. The only people who disagree with the "destructive" nature of the forces of Capitalism are/were either in unions, or are activists who've supported unions for years. Now you could use Bain's practices as an objective lesson of what has/will happened to states under Romney and the republicans on a nationwide basis. The reason so many states are bankrupt is because they were "scammed" into investing public funds in the stock market. This is/was neat way to defruad public employees out of the funds in their retirement plans and severance (We're broke because of the market forces), leaving the government to have to cover it. His record of having created only 4,000 jobs in four years as Governor of Massachusetts should be the subject (especially during the GOP primary season). Notice how Gingrich conveniently characterizes Romney as a "moderate" even though he passed a healthcare bill the covers abortion. "Moderate" is a characterization for the general election, as opposed to "liberal." <br /> Why has Ron Paul refused to attck Mitt Romney? The GOP conveniently saved all of the best attacks against Romney for just when the republican has signalled that they are "settling" on Romney. tag:www.gopexposed.com,2012-01-12:15299618 Jeff 2012-01-12T08:31:18Z 2012-01-12T08:31:18Z I'll be glad to debate you on this, but I'm headed to work, three straight 14 hour shifts. I can debate you Sunday or Monday. I will say that probably a better way to put it though is that the Democrats behave in the way they think the masses will react to, and if the masses are believing Republican bullshit, that means blend in.&nbsp; tag:www.gopexposed.com,2012-01-12:15299369 Nick 2012-01-12T08:27:24Z 2012-01-12T08:27:24Z Jeff I just disagree with your conclusion. You feel that democrats move to the right because they feel the country is moving right.... I will debate this with you when you have a chance. You have my skype and facebook let me know. tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-12-12:13904704 Eric 2011-12-12T22:47:32Z 2011-12-12T22:47:32Z Jeff, keep up the fight. Keep talking sense.<br />As a Canadian, I take a great interest in US politics because every bad right-wing idea hatched in America ends up being tried by OUR right-wingers. We didn't have a housing bubble, though, because in Canada, mortgage originators must hold onto those mortgages. They can't dump them off on the public, securitize them, or bet against them. tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-26:12428985 Alpheus Hall 2011-10-27T02:40:48Z 2011-10-27T02:40:48Z You are right about right wingers and race. I pointed out some right wing racism on Sodahead and I was called a racist for it! Right wing projection is just disgustingly off the charts! These clowns aren't just racially retarded they are just plain retarded! How can a group of people vote to keep themselves down?! Just plain willful ignorance! Damn regressives! Read a book! Get a dictionary and learn what a fact is! I feel like you Jeff. How much gop stupidity can us demorcrats take?! Keep podcasting and I'll keep listening! God Bless! tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-25:12397224 Jeff 2011-10-25T18:47:42Z 2011-10-25T18:47:42Z I'll be uploading another today! tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-25:12397219 Jeff 2011-10-25T18:46:38Z 2011-10-25T18:46:38Z And Joe Blow republican is right along with them. tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-25:12397194 Jeff 2011-10-25T18:43:23Z 2011-10-25T18:43:23Z LOL! You feel exactly what I feel. You watch the news and you have that blank look on your face that Keith Olbermann has after listening to Sarah Palin -- but it's hard to come back against BS when it's not your real job. tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-25:12397179 Jeff 2011-10-25T18:41:08Z 2011-10-25T18:41:08Z Thanks for the kind words. You have a point that if we "don't have a revenue problem" then why tout that lowering taxes raises revenue? Republicans clearly have a policy of not paying our bills anyway. <div><br /> </div> <div>It's not that I'm&nbsp;weary&nbsp;of the fight though. It's that I'm weary of talking about bullshit. Our conversations are about imaginary things now. I can only take so much of that.</div> tag:www.gopexposed.com,2011-10-19:12249882 Robt. 2011-10-19T06:19:55Z 2011-10-19T06:19:55Z Jeff,<br /> I am a recent listener. I stumbled across your podcasts in the wilderness. Not to inflate your head much but I appreciate your style. You speak from the head and the heart. I listen mostly at work while loading trucks. It is podcasts as yours that help me make it through the day without losing it or my sense of humor. You know what they say, if you lose your sense of humor, your nothing more than a serial killer.<br /><br />You are correct and I agree that taxes must be raised along with cuts. If only cuts are done then it is making certain people in the economic levels pay for Medicare part D, the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war.<br />Then there was the $900 billion Bush waved in our face from the front door of the Fed reserve as $3.2 Trillion went out the Fed back door drive through to corporation as Verison, Harley/Davidson, and the likes of GE. (they weren’t banks).<br />Now we learn $16 trillion is the latest number. <br /><br />Cut taxes and trickle down will bring in more money to the Government. Right..<br />Reagan’s Trickle Down was previously “Horse and Sparrow” (google it if your not aware).<br />Yet, if cutting taxes will bring in more revenue, isn’t this against the T-GOP’s ideology of small Government?<br /><br />I mean, if lowering taxes as their misguided mantra continues. Then cutting taxes to reel in more revenue to fund the Government is like feeding the Gov’t and if you feed the Gov’t (like feeding anything) it grows.<br /><br />So therefore If Reagan believed his theory that lowering taxes will raise more revenue for the Gov’t (although it didn’t), then growing Gov’t was his objective. That makes him a Big Gov’t spender. He is their Conservative Father?<br /><br />Can you shed any light on why this President, during these economic times has not had hiscommerce Secretary Confirmed by the Senate?<br /><br />Does any of your conservative pals happen to know of any U.S. President, has gone three (3) years without a confirmedcommerce Secretary? Any president? Especially during these economic times.?<br /><br />To change up just a bit and hopefully not too personal, in this podcast you sounded weary of heart. You mentioned in prior podcasts you listen to Alan Colmes and Mark Levine. I listen to Levine on podcasts as well and heard your call that you mentioned in a prior p-cast. Do you think Alan Colmes would let others (GOP ideologues) weigh down his heart? Have you heard Mark Levine grow weary of his belief in democracy and justice?<br />The hard republicans are relentless. How else could they get away with torture? Falsely attacking Iraq? Duh, torturing Cue Ball 187 times in ONE month just to make sure he is telling the truth, so not to send them on another wild goose chase to waste time and money. One guy 187 times to make sure? To make sure of what? The info we never got that was worth the money of the bucketof water they water boarded him with. <br />Hang on Jeff, Cheer up-it gets a lot worse than this.<br />Here is something that made me very, very proud. It is a Iraq v
