GOP family values ...

[marble falls]

[Diamond_Dog]

1. Excellent. Kick.

And remember Paul Ryan who grew up on SS benefits. He did the same thing.

[2naSalit]

18. Yes, however...

The great gran-daddy of this lineage is none other than snewt gingrinch.

[lonely bird]

29. Gingrich...

Hasn’t gotten half the kicking around he deserves.

He was, is and always will be a piece of shit.

[2naSalit]

30. Even his mother...

Didn't like him.

[lastlib]

39. I wil always think of newtie as a living sewage spill

He and Lee Atwater spawned in the same septic pool.

[lonely bird]

41. Atwater

Had the decency to admit to his bullshit. That was his only redeeming quality. Gingrich has none.

[Lonestarblue]

2. I would add a sentence and question at the end.

The Republican Party has changed. Are these really your values?

Some people vote Republican without thinking. We need to try to make them think.

[Gum Logger]

25. It is a world of screaming hypocrisy

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. "I got my stack so hands off Jack!" is their ethos. . . . . nt

[OldBaldy1701E]

28. Well...

"I got my stack so hands off Jack! Oh, and I want yours as well!" is a bit more accurate, don't you think?

[Seinan Sensei]

36. Hoarders, all

They happen to hoard money, instead of, say, clothes or magazines.

Either way, it’s an illness.

Plus, money hoarders have a co-morbidity of narcissism and/or anti-social personality disorder

[OldBaldy1701E]

40. You grok well, Sensei! (n/t)

[sop]

4. Back then JD went by James Donald Bowman, or maybe it was James David Hamel?

I guess if one changes one's name enough times one can escape one's food stamp past.

[marble falls]

5. But everyone knew him Sofa King.

[mwmisses4289]

6. Hasn't he been going around recently claiming that's a lie?

That his family never relied on government assistance?
Of course, repubs lie as easy as breathing, so its hard to know if they even know what truth is.

22. editied: My mother required food assistance for periods of her life. My grandmother required Social Security help to rai

From his debate with Gov Walz....

First of all, thanks, Governor. Thanks to CBS for hosting the debate. And thanks most importantly to the American people who are watching this evening and caring enough about this country to pay attention to this vice presidential debate. I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are. I was raised in a working class family. My mother required food assistance for periods of her life. My grandmother required Social Security help to raise me. And she raised me in part because my own mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life. I went to college on the GI bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq. And so I stand here asking to be your Vice President with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams....

26. ??That's from a guy named Tommy Ratliff. JD Vance grew up middle class in Dayton, Ohio.

[progressoid]

27. Oops.

Posting before eating is a bad idea. I edited and put his statement from the VP debates instead.

[Johonny]

7. The fact that hes banging a widow in front

Of his wife speaks volumes to his family values. He valued his family right up until he though Turning Point USA gave him the best chance at the presidency in 2028.

[ToxMarz]

8. I got mine...

Now quick, pull up that damn ladder!

[BeerBarrelPolka]

9. This is how a lot of immigrants feel

They have their citizenship and the hell with any new immigrants.

[ToxMarz]

10. Once they make it (not just immigrants), they "pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps"

Everyone coming behind is now just mooching off them.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

11. Yes

[RainCaster]

14. The ones I know aren't like that

But I live on the West Coast, in a community with a mix of immigrants from all across the globe. I suppose that if I lived in a community of RW Cuban immigrants I would feel differently. Here the immigrants all want to help each other. They are proud to be American, even in this day of "I got mine so fork you".

[Martin Eden]

12. CRUELTY and GREED

Of course, Hair Twitler embodies all 7 deadly sins, and then some.

[TBF]

13. Our new Paul Ryan ... and just as disgusting. nt

[Martin68]

15. Shared on FB

[2naSalit]

16. Yep, they're all...

sNewt gingrinch.

[ananda]

17. This is true of my Texas family.

They took everything the New Deal and the GI bill
had to offer.

Then when they got theirs... well, you know.

[Mblaze]

19. It reminds me of how Paul Ryan

Pushed hard to reduce SS payments even though SS survivor benefits got him through college after his father died.

[marble falls]

20. "I got mine, fuck you!" - Ayn Rand.

[Mblaze]

23. I'm taking my ball and going to Galt's Gulch.

[calimary]

34. My dad's favorite quote.

IGMFU.

[KS Toronado]

21. Need to spread this everywhere on social media

MSM won't do it

[relayerbob]

24. This meme isn't accurate

Hypocrisy is another Republican core value.

[marble falls]

38. The hypocracy is being "Christian" and not giving fuck one about others.

[Upthevibe]

31. Kick. N/T

[Bristlecone]

32. Shades of Paul Ryan

*on edit: in review of a few other posts, I see I was not alone in this obvious, and long standing history of GOP shit-heelery.

[TNNurse]

35. Yes, Paul Ryan and I both received SS death benefits

as children after our father died. I think it is still a good plan, he is against for others. Typical GOP.

[calimary]

33. You'd think it'd make pols like him more compassionate.

And sadly enough, you’d be wrong.

[Dem4life1970]

37. Pulling the ladder up behind him...
