The Four Stooges of the Apocolypse.


"I pledge allegiance to Grover Norquist, to eliminate taxes for the rich and corporations.
.
And to the Republic, for which it will no longer stand, under our Autocracy, in the name of the Republican Tea Party.
.
One nation, under Ronald Reagan, divisible, with limited liberty, and justice for some."
.
.
The perception of what the Republican party now stands for seems to reflect the fictitious pledge written. Their actions and speeches reflect the very notion that they do not represent all Americans as they vowed to do so in their actual oath of office.
.
The Republicans have charged that class warfare was waged when Democrats, Independents, and few true conservative Republicans suggested that the very wealthy, and corporations pay their fair share of taxes to stimulate the economy and to help generate jobs. Under the existing Bush Tax cuts, most (if not all) economists and universities noted that the rich, corporations, and energy companies were the only entities that benefited from said tax cuts, loopholes, and deregulation of most industries. What little money that was returned to the middle-class, poor and working poor was merely a pittance afforded by the Bush tax code as a guise to get votes.
.
Now, the onslaught is apparent based on what the four remaining Republican candidates now promise to their selected audience and donor(s). It is expected for each Republican candidate to demonize President Barack Obama, his policies, and his administration, but is it really necessary to call the president "a snob", as blurted by Rick Santorum? Where is his proof? How is it possible for "a snob" to help all Americans and actually work with Republicans through sharing and compromise? If anyone should be labeled "a snob", it should be directed at Santorum himself. Recently, Rick Santorum held a very private fundraiser in Texas at a very exclusive gated community, and only invited prescreened wealthy donors. Talk about being "a snob"!
.
Under eight years of Bush and six years of a House and Senate under Republican "leadership", America, as a nation, came close to going bankrupt. Each Republican candidate has vowed to dismantle President Obama's policies and overturn recent laws passed to bring American overseas jobs back and get more long term unemployed and returning veterans back to work. Although the Keystone XL pipeline would help the unemployed, it is only a short term temporary fix to a long term problem and would not benefit anyone but the energy companies involved.
.
Only we are in charge of our own destiny, yet there are Republican candidates who want to take that away. Red states are rewriting their laws that aims to eliminate women's' rights and voters' rights under the threat of nonexistent problems. Red states are also pushing for new laws that would circumvent President Obama's laws and policies that allows local and state law enforcement agencies to racial profile anyone they deem "non American". Now, you have Republican candidates who want to return to the Bush policies that brought America close to the brink of destruction.
.
As each Republican candidate promises nothing for all Americans, their responses, retorts, and Obama loath speeches clearly points out the destructive nature each has planned to eliminate the middle-class entirely, from eliminating public education to eliminating Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and to secure an autocratic rule, the very same type of autocratic rule our founding fore fathers fought to secure us from. Apocalypse now, anyone?
