You Won't See This On FOX


Not as long as they push GOP talking points and pander to the I-will-take-your-word-'cause-Obama-is-a-Socialist-Kenyan-who's-running-this-country-off-a-cliff-and-taking-away-all-our-freedoms crowd.
FOX has become their Way, their Truth, and their Light.


"The GOP has no moderate faction anymore. It’s a rump amalgamation of plutocrats and the people who service their air conditioning.

The aforementioned people cannot, or will not, see the way the Republican party is going these days: blessings upon the wealthy and powerful ("job creators'' in politispeak) and austerity (in the name of budget cutting) for the rest of them. Oh, they'll gladly go along with it because to them it's these "others" that will have to pay the price...not them, the compassionate RW true-blue hard working Americans who figure they have done everything right since birth. All this sacrifice will bring them Right Wing Political Nirvana....... 


They have not yet grasped that the GOP does NOT care about them: Joe SixPacK, Bill & Betty Baptist, Tom Truck Driver, Sally Single Parent, Carrie College Student, Sam & Sarah Senior, Ora & Olivia Ordinary, and of course, Hernando Hispanic. The upper hierarchy of the Republican Party......along with the Koch Brothers, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, Roger Ailes, the Catholic Church, and the NRA to name a few.....simply find them useful pawns in their continued attempts to separate the "got mine" from the "sorry about your luck." The Repubs can hit all the hot buttons, seemingly empathizing with  their believers...sort of like the old time revival preachers. "All the better to get you to vote against your best interests, my dear."


"The lot of them look like a bunch of grim Pharisees, and it’s all too obvious that all they really care about is cutting rich people’s taxes."
My thoughts exactly. 


Just in case you still have the impression that the GOP is working FOR YOU: http://republicanjobcreation.com/


Then there is their all-encompassing love of their fellow Americans:
“Just wanted to let you know - today I received my 2012 Social Security Stimulus Package. It contained two tomato seeds, cornbread mix, a prayer rug, a machine to blow smoke up my butt, 2 discount coupons to KFC, an "Obama Hope & Change" bumper sticker, and a "Blame it on Bush" poster for the front yard. The directions were in Spanish. Watch for yours soon.”

"The tax man cometh to police you on health care"



"That scenario puts the Internal Revenue Service at the center of the debate, renewing questions about whether the agency is capable of policing the health care decisions of millions of people in the United States while also collecting the taxes needed to run the federal government."

The big bad government is going to tell you how to deal with your own health. DEATH PANELS. And of course, TAXES. Seems like the old "repeal and replace" isn't polling very well as the people seem to LIKE the individual components, even if they say they don't like Obamacare. So, now they will try a different tack.


"In 2010, House Ways and Means Committee Republicans issued a report saying the IRS may need as many as 16,500 additional auditors, agents and other employees "to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans."
An IRS spokesman has already said that the Right Wing has pulled that number out of thin air. They have also conveniently not mentioned that those TAXES or PENALTIES as Romney called them in his legislation (or he did at least one time...) only apply to those who don't want to buy insurance, or hope to sponge off the rest of us: less than 2 per cent of the population total. This is something the ACA is trying to alleviate. No more "I'll wait till I need it, then get it" so that everybody is not in the same pool of participants. You pay your current insurance premiums every month whether you USE it or not that month. Same thing in this policy.
"The agency's repeated lack of transparency to Congress and its failure to provide accountability to the American taxpayers raises fundamental concerns about implementation authorities vested to the IRS," the top four Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee wrote in a June 27 letter to the IRS commissioner.
I don't even know where to begin with this one. Let me just say: Koch Brothers. ALEC. Karl Rove. Crossroads GPS. Billions of dollars of secretly funded money for 2012 elections. Citizens United. Transparency?????

"The giant insurer Aetna directed more than $3 million last year to the American Action Network, a Republican-leaning nonprofit organization that has spent millions of dollars attacking lawmakers who voted for President Obama’s health care bill — even as Aetna’s president publicly voiced support for the legislation."

And if all else fails. resort to this:
