There seems to be lot of Primary Colors flaming here lately and mostly RED HOT.
We have to beat these Loser Radicals to save the country from ruin !I want to remind, gently of course the members here who either forgot, were too young or choose not to think about a Republican president. First of all, that president usually brings into congress republicans on his or her coattails.
Have people already forgotten that staying home,writing in or not voting would give this country a whole new meaning to exceptional. We would be in exceptional war mode. The VA can’t keep up now, what would happen with A War Lover in Chief in Charge… ( Worst that Bush) ! Gun Violence is exceptionally gruesome now, what would an NRA bought and paid for president bring? Let us look at Trump...where anyone who defies him might end up in his bringing back torture? You could be not his kind of patriot ! The same thing could be said for Cruz who wants a National Religon established while he carpet bombs countries and watches the Glow. The Wall Street folks would be more than partying and having hangovers… They would probably bring back Poorhouses. Climate Change deniers would FRACK till Miami completely sunk and the wildfires out west raged.
The pollution could be as bad as China on a cloudy day and we would go back to arsenic in the water… HIGH LEVELS. The Koch Brothers would basically run the country and here we would sit waiting to be shot, nuked and hated. How about women’s reproductive health? Hell, how about all of our health? With three of the candidate’s (four) if you include Trump’s vacation home living in Florida, maybe Rick Scott would be put in charge of Health and Human Services. God knows the Kochs’ love him. With the new apointees to the Supreme court, the ACA would be repealed and the War on Drugs could ramp up to overturn Marijuana legislation, medical or otherwise...Hey folks these would be unchartered waters. Either way you slice it, we could end up looking like Florida or Texas on steroids, considering the candidates in the lead are from these regions. Forget hike in wages and unions and expect deeper tax cuts for the wealthy to pay for our endless wars not to mention the Supreme Court with it’s new religious stand could make all gay marriages illegal and repeal that as well. The VA would be privatized as Florida practically is right now and it’s not good. We could count on going from a do nothing congress to a Fast track and some of it so fast we would not even be able to keep up. It was exactly like that under Bush.
Some of the more rational republicans would be announcing their retirement . The Dept of Education would be useless in the Republicans eyes and No Child Left Behind would look good for us compared to what the new educational agenda would look like with costs of Charter and private education. Social Security and Food Stamps…...screwed to no end.
The hate would come very quickly from our allies.
Now, for that walk. Have you forgotten Aba Ghraib? Bush and Cheney? have you forgotten 7 continents protesting? Republican congress and senate fast tracking agendas? Have you forgotten the 2008 Meltdown? Taxbreaks for billionaires? The no dissent and hate on the Dixie Chicks? How about the hate and ridicule we got from other countries? Have you forgotten the wasted money on bridges to nowhere and yet no body armor for those in battle. Have you forgotten the color codes for terror?
How about covering up statues to not offend the attorney general while he sang about The Eagle Soars. Did you know about the capitol police being called because the republicans locked our representatives out of committee meeting? We at least had Kennedy and Wellstone in the senate.
The Lies… The absolute lies and deception. Every Republican president brought us into decades of shame. Nixon…..Watergate….Reagan….His homophobic agenda and Refusal for Aids research, War on Drugs, Recession? The Iran Contras? Bush I.. more war…..Bush Jr… The Florida election, yeah Jeb can fix it. He sure fixed us for years with his brother? How about all of this and yet every single one of the past presidents would look like FDR or Kennedy compared to the radicals running against our candidate ...which ever one gets the nomination Hillary or Bernie.. I will fight to get them to 1600 Pa. Avenue. I remember the hate and bigotry too well. I remember the wars too well. I remember being poor...too long. I do not have the luxury to be so pure minded or selfish to say My candidate or else...I am too old to start over ...AGAIN. I want my kid and grandkids to have a future. Some of us can’t leave the country. We are not financially able and we would not want to see our last days in such pain and misery that these monsters would bring. This is not the time for political purity. We have an entire country to lose which means my husband and others fought for what little we have left...like Free speech. Keep in mind Trump wanted to close some of the internet. I have not even spoken about people of color and immigration.
Every single executive order Obama passed would be undone.
Every single bit of legislation that is remotely progressive from years of civil rights, suffrage, voting and unions would be thrown to the 1950’s or further back. This is something to fear. You may be too young or forgotten but I am not and I have not. I do not care if Bernie ate Hillary’s dancing shoes. I don’t care if Hillary cooked anything up in the primary. I care about us… All of us. This damn election is bigger than Hillary or Bernie or DWS or any of their supporters. It is our lives we are talking here. I agree with Bernie’s ideas but I will support whoever is the nominee as you really should if you give a damn about your kids, your social security, your health and your very existence. That is my rant because I am too old to think of a New America that would resemble Reconstruction via the Tea Party. On Hillary or Bernie’s moderate worst day would be 1000X better than one slight progressive day from the clown car and their administration.
