ELECTION 2014 - Merged Threads

They tried and the Dems "made it hurt"... Shut down the National Parks...shut down the museums. Sent military men and women home. Instead of actually cutting spending on wasteful things that would not affect anyone, the Dems made sure the only spending that got cut was anything that would enrage and hurt the people.

The Dems are way better strategists and way better politicians. 99% of politicians are liars and cheats however the Dems have it down to a science...they have no morals so there is nothing stopping them from doing extreme things to win. And it's because they have no morals that all of them are willing to do anything for their party. They work together because they have no personal values to violate.

Conservatives by-in-large aren't willing to violate their own personal values to conform to the party needs. Many, as is evident by posts on here, simply aren't willing to compromise. This characteristic seems to be one that goes hand-in-hand with having conservative values...having strong personal convictions is honorable and just part of being conservative...the nature of the beast I believe. However it's also a flaw. A team simply can't win without many of the team members making a sacrafice of some sort...too many of the right not willing to take one for the team.

And this is precisely why Democrats have been destroying this country for years while Republicans sit on the sidelines.

I thought Obamacare would bring people out of the woodwork, but all it did was screw over people who work for a living and already couldn't afford exorbitant healthcare.

Wait until the next tax season...

Yup. I'm self employed, and there's no way I can afford even the cheapest Obamacare plan for $500/month for my wife and I with sky high deductibles. So come tax time I'll be punished because I can't afford it, and because I don't have enough money I'm required to pay the IRS money. The whole thing is so stupid. Steal money from those who work so that those who don't work can have nice things.

I'm afraid this will ultimately lead to the end. Even if there are more consumers than producers, the government can print more money without telling anyone to support the consumers and it'll be okay until the cat gets out of the bag and all the producers are bankrupted and robbed blind by the very government they support.
