Do not ever make the mistake of thinking that the Republicans are anything but the enemy.

114. of course repugs weren't always the bad guys

eisenhower basically said anyone who attempted to mess with social security would lose. However, with the RW propaganda machine for the last thirty years; they've finally convinced some people to shoot themselves in the foot. Before goldwater died, he found the new wacko GOP quite disappointing.

These new GOPers I believe would sell the american people down the river in a heartbeat if they could have a piece of that koch or any global corporation pie.

And the best way to convince the clueless ones is to "sell" religion. And, they do it so well. See, God blessed them with all that money, it was not made on the backs of labor or screwing a bunch of marks. And if you're not wealthy, you don't deserve to live unless you kneel at the altar of mammon, I mean god. Or, after working and working your poor because god is testing you. And, if god is testing you, you're still on your own. Yeah, even goldwater would be disgusted.
