    Why do republicans say its going to be a government take over of healthcare. When the government already controls healthcare with various tax credits medicare and medicaid. The government spends 175 billion that's only 40 billion less than medicaid. On providing tax write offs for businesses to supply their employees with healthcare. A YEAR. So the true cost of healthcare on the government is somewhere around 809 billion not the 635 billion for medicare, chip, and medicaid, and veterans benefits. With total healthcare expenditures totaling 1.9 billion. About half of that was paid by the federal government through tax credits, medicare, chip, and medicaid and veterans benefits. I mean why have insurance companies. If the republican plan still leaves half.

    Sorry I meant to say republican plan. Increases those tax credits. So the federal government still ends up paying. Just paying even more.

    Do you know republicans have been ? all over blacks since the beginning of the party?
    whereas, as all students of history know, Democrats were righteous defenders of blacks since the beginning of the party

    wait... it seems like this point is completely terrible
    How do you explain Republicans using a KNOWN symbol of the church of Satan thats been used for decades, as part of there national mascot?
    this ridiculous post is the strongest argument for blacks to vote Republican in this thread

    From what I've read, the parties switched up in 1964 after the civil rights act was signed. All of the racist democrats switched to the republican party and all the republicans turned racist. It really was strange being that he Republicans were the party of Lincoln.

    The North was Republican and the South was Democratic. I'm sure there's more to the dynamics of this story.

    how many black republicans do you know?



    Lee Atwater is dead so i'm not sure a how his statements are significant in anyway. He's an obvious racist; not all southern republicans are racist.

    I have little support for welfare and similar social services.

    How do you feel about Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin being the intellectual voices in the Republican Party? Don’t these two women articulate and exude what most Republican voters believe in?

    Would you vote for Sarah Palin if she becomes the Republican nominee for President?

    I really hope you know what the Southern strategy is LV, and how it was used to divide this country. It was a very destructive political tool. And on your Lee Atwater comment, Patrick J Buchanan worked as a White House communications Director for Ronald Reagan, and he was a Nixon speechwriter/ White House adviser raves about how great the Southern strategy was. He was on Morning Joe a couple years ago talking about how the Southern strategy helped elect the two Republican presidents he worked for. He was also a Presidential candidate in 92,96, and 2000 I believe. A lot of Republican primary voters placed their votes for Mr. Buchanan. We can get a hundred racists Pat Buchanan quotes. Are you going to flippantly dismiss him too?

    Last question, why when I watch Republican conventions why do the black people in those crowds look uncomfortable like they could be lynched at any time?

    Did I mention Democrat? What the ? are you talking about? Did you actually read my Malcolm X quote?

    How is it ridiculous? The stars were right side up and now they are upside down which only has one meaning. No one asked why they changed it that way, so people decided to accept it or have no clue what it means. Can you explain why they would do that, cause I know no one had the ? to ask a question so upfront in the media.

    and I dont get what your trying to say too......

    let's be fair: they are not the intellectual voices of the Republicans, and everyone knows this. they are popular figureheads, but that is it.

    The Republican Party was first organized in 1854, growing out of a coalition of anti-slavery Whigs and Free Soil Democrats who mobilized in opposition to Stephen Douglas's January 1854 introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act into Congress, a bill which repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise prohibition on slavery in territory north of Arkansas
    They vigorously argued that free-market labor was superior to slavery and the very foundation of civic virtue and true republicanism—this is the "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men" ideology.
    During the war, Radical Republicans opposed President Abraham Lincoln's policies in terms of selection of generals and his efforts to bring states back into the Union; Lincoln vetoed the Radical plan in 1864 and was putting his own policies in effect when he was assassinated in 1865.[1] Radicals pushed for the uncompensated abolition of slavery, and after the war supported Civil rights for freedmen

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Republican_Party#Creation


    The history of the Democratic Party of the United States is an account of the oldest political party in the United States and arguably the oldest democratic party in the world.
    The party was a spokesman for farmers across the country, urban workers, and new immigrants. It advocated westward expansion, Manifest Destiny, greater equality for white men, and opposition to a national bank.
    During the Civil War, Northern Democrats divided into two factions, the War Democrats, who supported the military policies of President Lincoln, and the Copperheads, who strongly opposed them. During the Civil War
    Partisanship flourished in the North and strengthened the Lincoln Administration as Republicans automatically rallied behind it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Democratic_Party

    Yeah they pretty much switched sides entirely in 1964 with the seeds sown during the civil war. The old democrats formed with the new republicans.

    Janklow you are ruining my fun here. Don't answer for him, I wanted to know his thoughts on the direction his party has taken. I mean I could have easily had said George Will, William Kristol, or Charles Krauthammer but since the tea party has taken over the Republican party these people are seen as elites. They are seen as the people who are way to intelligent, (because they read things called books) brandy sipping elites that have parties at their Georgetown homes.

    To be an intellectual in the Republican Party now all you have to do is utter these three phrases. Obama is setting up death camps, Obamacare is going to lead to death panels, and my favorite Obama is socialist Kenyan. Let’s be serious the Tea Party is just pitch folk, torch carrying division of the Republican Party. A lot of people in the heartland see Sarah Palin as William F Buckley and Ronald Regan all rolled into one. There was some hyperbole in my question but I wanted to see how he answered it.

    Do you know the difference between the Republican mascot and the Democratic? Because obviously you dont so maybe everyone in this thread should dismiss everything you say because you cant tell the difference between a donkey and elephant.

    These mods feel high and mighty dont they?

    well, let's be fair here: they DON'T see Bachmann and Palin as intellectuals, they see intellectualism as a problem and like how Bachmann and Palin are NOT intellectuals

    i know this is you trying to call me dumb, but i fail to see how it follows that i say "it's completely ? ? to make up some Satanic conspiracy regarding the GOP mascot" and you say "you can't tell the difference between the mascots"

    i guess i'll spell it out for you: people should support the Republicans as a response to your stupid theory. is that clear now?
    These mods feel high and mighty dont they?
    considering that i have done nothing mod-related to you, but simply disagreed with your position like any other poster, why exactly are you crying about mods being high and mighty?

    I didn't make up the conspiracy, its right in front of your eyes. Can you name any other institution other then the church of satan that uses the same symbol?

    well, you DID make up the conspiracy, because your argument is basically "? DEVIL STARS"

    also, i am not sure stars are a unique symbol

    Answer me this smart ass. Find an institution other then the church of Satan that uses UPSIDE down stars as part of thier symbol or emblem. Upside down stars have always been associated with the church of satan. That is a known fact not a conspiracy. So we have the Church of satan, Rock music (which is openly satanic) and the Republican party. I'm I delusional or am I just asking questions that no one can answer? Star is NOT a unique symbol, but when its flipped upside down it is. When you open your eyes let me know, but atleast you heard the story of the flipped 5 point star and you will never forget when you see it in real life.

    the correct answer is: you're delusional. never mind the fact that the star pointing down is used by other organizations, let's focus on this: your argument for why it's Satanic is "because it's Satanic." i imagine there will be no further support for the theory beyond some ramblings about opening my eyes, which, of course, isn't really support for anything.

    WOW. I guess if you have done any research on the Church of Satan or Satanism in general you would know how distinct the flipped star really is. So im going to let you do your own research on Google or wherever you want to so you cant say Im pulling out "? " facts. Just go ahead and type Flipped 5 point Star or Inverted Pentagram and let me know what you find. Now how stupid are you using a Freemason Institution (A secret institution) to try and prove me wrong! The only other Institution you could find was a Masonic one LMAO. Your just burying yourself deeper.

    So we have. Church of Satan, Rock Music, Republican Party, Freemasons (thanks for this one Janklow)

    considering the fact that you're now resorting to "do your own research" wherein i am supposed to support your claim... it sounds a lot like the ? "facts" are continuing.

    again, here's the deal: your support for the stars being Satanic is the statement that the stars are Satanic. are you going to back that up with anything more than the notion that all the best rock musicians are aligned with Satan?

    EDIT: you can also have the Medal of Honor and the LDS as examples of further uses of inverted pentagrams. are these also Satanic?

    ADDITIONAL EDIT: so i guess you deleted your poorly-phrased "Are you that lazy to do a google search?" post for some reason, but again, here's the deal: if you're making a claim (the use is SATANIC), then you're supposed to be willing to support it. if you tell me it's Satanic and i ask what that's based on and you tell ME to research it ... that's either lazy or lame. you tell me.

    If you knew anythnig about the Illuminati, whether you believe it or not, you would know that 13 is one of their favorite numbers symbolically.

    LDS produced many different results

    If you research inverted pentagram already it would be obvious. I dont have to prove nothing because proving inverted pentagrams is satanic is like proving the sky is blue.

    what i know about the Illuminati is that it's an unsubstantiated bunch of nonsense, so the number doesn't mean anything. but hey, i'll wait right here while you demonstrate how THEY'RE Satanic

    except for the part where you can't actually demonstrate how any of the examples you're talking about speak to actual Satanic practices. as always, your argument is "it's Satanic because it's Satanic." what is required is proof of the supposed Satanism
