...And The Hate Goes On!

Now that there are only four Republican presidential "candidates" left, each one has ratcheted up their own talking points and wedge issues to attack and vilify President Obama. Not one candidate has truly offered to give any credit to the president where credit is due. It is embarrassing to the nation and to the world that a singular political party (Republican) would hold such contempt to a sitting president. It is the same language the Republicans said was unpatriotic and anti-American when Dubba-u Bush was in office.
.
When Bush was in office, his policies (mostly Cheney's) were more self serving to himself and his rich buddies and their businesses while the middle-class lost their jobs to overseas outsourcing and the working and non working poor suffered even more. Industries were deregulated and rewarded more for sending jobs overseas to third and fourth-world countries. Ignoring the previous administration's intelligence and cherry-picking their own would lead to two unpaid for wars. The deregulation policies of the Bush administration resulted in a tainted food supply (mad cow disease), a runaway spending habit by Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate that led to increasing the deficit seven (7) times without complaint. The USA "Patriot" Act was passed to search for terrorists, only to be expanded to spy on Americans, mostly minorities and anyone not a Republican. "Homeland Security" was established to combine the efforts of the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other state and federal law enforcement agency to share information. So much for "smaller government"! And now there is the Bush "tax cuts" that only benefitted millioaires and billionaires, corporations, and Wall Street that resulted into the economic crisis we are now recovering from.
.
Based on how each "candidate" has vowed to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and overturn the progress made by President Obama, each of their ideas is only focused to help only those who have the means to help themselves, restrict or overturn Civil Rights and womens' rights, and turn America into a rich and poor only society, thus eliminating the middle-class entirely.
.
Ron Paul calls himself a "Libertarian", but is more Republican who harken to the days when isolationism was policy and overt racism was the norm. Ron Paul is more of a dottering old man who only lives in his own time and prefers his groundskeepers brown and his mansion staff black, and prone to putting his foot in his mouth.
.
Rick Santorum is so staunchly "far right", he has finally gained the full support of Tea Party Republicans and evangelical Republicans by promising to end womens' rights by using abortion and contraception while suggesting a state religion. As long as he keeps suggesting that President Obama is anything other than what he actually is (American, Christian, etc;...), he will continue to gain higher Republican poll numbers. Santorum is the clown who always steps on the yard rake thus hitting his head with the handle.
.
Mitt Romney is more business-oriented that his idea of America is to run it like Bain Capitol: to fire anyone at will, eliminate unions and curtail workers rights and pay. Romney is only in it for Romney. He would extend the business aspect and economics of the Bush policies. Romney has always had a life of privilege, his idea of "doing without" was reminicing about doing missionary work in France living in a three-star hotel, while other not-so-rich Mormon missionaries went to Africa. Based on his out of touch with reality and his inability to connect with the majority of the middle-class and poor, he continues to shoot himself in the foot every time he speaks publicly at a prescreened location.
.
Last, but not least, there is Newt Gingrich. He is so full of himself, he continues to suggest he will be president by saying "after my second term,...". Gingrich, like Romney, is only in it for Gingrich, but will step over anyone to get what he wants. Just ask his last two wives: one whom he served divorce papers to while she was recovering from cancer in a hospital and the other mistress to wife who developed multiple sclerosis. Gingrich's jobs plan is to eliminate unions and overturn child labor laws in order to employ poor and minority children as school janitors under the premise of "teaching" said children a work ethic. Gingrich is the kind of guy who would pull the pin from a grenade, drop the grenade and throw the pin.
.
In light of their stance against pro choice, Republicans will have to choose who will be their nominee. Based on their debates, their caucuses and the number of delegates, their public speaking, and each one's only doner and super PAC, President Obama is assured another term in office.
