The issue of the Sunset rule for social security from the GOBers?

They want to take away our benefits, but their benefits are locked in! Their retirement money is being paid by lobbyists and donors! They may only make a 6 figure salary, but they have all this money coming from the other side of the wealth gap! Yes this the same for Dems, but at least the Dems don’t want us to dwell into obscurity. They understand that it’s the middle class and others who are the ones who worked hard for a lifetime to save and have retirement savings to get us thru the next levels of our lives. What I don’t understand is, take for instance? I have immediate family members who have nothing to show for their hard, yet believe what the GOBers are selling them every single lame idea? I worked hard for my money and don’t want to disappear before I am ready to retire & I sure as hell don’t want to be working just because the GOBers think I should! So, to the GOBers who want us to waste away in time? Screw you and your ideas!

was taken out of politics. No, this is not the same for Democrats. Republican voters are voting that way because of ideology.

I know you use it to mean the GOP, and maybe you like the similarity with the word "goober", but what phrase do you mean G. O. P. to abbreviate?
