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?

The Party of Hate

Among all of the Republican politicians, running for office or not, seen or heard, there is no message of unity for the entire country except for those who favor them despite the fact that each Republican office holder has no real interest in representing them.
.
Among the candidates running for president, there is no message of peace, no message of unity, no message of equality, no message of compromise, and no message of progression. The messages have been nothing more than sound-bites and the constant bashing of President Barack.
.
The only messages given in speeches by the Republican candidates have solely been about dismantling President Obama's many accomplishments to the point of going back to war with a new target: Iran.
.
If Republicans once again regain power in the House, Senate, and the White House, what is left of the Middle-Class may very well become the new poor, thus making American the new Brazil: rich and poor only. Corporations will be able to make new laws to rape the country once again as they did under Bush/Cheney & Co.
.
Rand Paul would stand a better chance to dismantle the Civil Rights Act with daddy Ron Paul in the White House to make sure it remains a "White" House. Gingrich would make sure all Americans would have no health care at all while dismantling child labor laws to put middle-class and poor kids to work. Romney (as well as the other Republican candidates) would make sure unions are abolished so that companies would be able to fire anyone (especially hourly workers) at will and reduce wages to increase their bottom line. New Republican Supreme Court justices would be put in place to insure women's rights are stripped and allow Republican Governors to redraw congressional district lines to favor their party, suppress voters' rights, and allow state-sanctioned racial profiling to proliferate without interference from federal authority, thus allowing the continuation of whole-sale state sanctioned murder of immigrants crossing the southern border at the hands of gun-toting "Minute Man Patriots". In the mean time, supporters are waiting (or hoping) for pizza guy Herman Cain to return after he straightens out his harem of concubines.
.
Although each Republican presidential candidates' speech and/or message is relatively the same, their plan of obstruction will continue to make sure President Obama becomes a one-term president. Tea Party Republicans especially, want to impeach President Obama at any cost despite the Presidents' successes in foreign policy, the economy, civil liberties, and equality for all Americans.
.
The Republican Party itself began their campaign season early since President Obama won the 2008 Presidential election. To the surprise of the Republican Party itself, they have done nothing but promote President Obama through their own actions (as negative as they may be). As long as the Republican Party continues their onslaught against the middle-class, women and minorities, immigrants (legal or not), concerned rich and poor, civil rights and liberties, gay or straight, and now children, those who are not rich and vote Republican must now view themselves as victims rather than as their constituents.
.
It is fitting that the Republicans have chosen the elephant as the symbol of their party, because they continue to trample on the rights and privileges of other Americans to only represent 1% of all Americans, whether they want it or not. Their very actions may also mean the demise of the Republican Party itself.
