News: Republicans Happier Than Democrats

[Marnie]

Welfare programs have done nothing but harm minorities.

It has made them dependant on the government for their provisions.

When you put a time limit on welfare and help these people get training for jobs, that is helping them.

Not handing over tax payer money to them.

Amen and amen. Besides, who wants a job created for them by a beurocrat? How could you go to work with any kind of pride knowing your job exists at the whim of some fat cat in Washington? What the government gives, it can take away. To the individual who made the comment "what jobs," I say open up your eyes. There is a lot of work out there, perhaps not a lot of "jobs" as you would define it, but surely a lot of work. The first year of my business, I barely scraped together $20,000. Now, three years later, I am into the three figures. I have more work than I can handle (consequently I have no life, though). So, there is a lot of work if you care to look for it, and if one is determined to make a life, you will. Trouble is, everybody just wants to make a living, and even at that, they want it given to them, either by the government from some kind of entitlement program or they want to show up and punch a clock like Dad did for 30 years. It is a way different economy today.

But, hey, I am feelin' groovy still.

HE WRITES:

What a bunch of dead flowers. bushy and chinny ain't poor, but I guess that doesn't matter eh? For this one little moment you're going to try and make us believe that the party of big business has less net worth overall? I guess you could make a case based on the idea that repugnicans take more bribes and hide their wealth off shore.

i didn't do anything of the sort MH. you can read whatever you want into what i wrote, i answered a direct comment about what party fought to keep slavery etc.

but.... while the parties HAVE both done a lot of changing, it ain't the older republicans in DC that were involved in slavery and the KKK, most of the ones who are still alive that were involved in those horrible things back then, are CURRENTLY democrats.

so make of it whatever you want.

MH -

You might actually get somewhere around here if you logically presented facts rather than spewing rhetoric.

[Guest LadyC]

MH.

while you're seeking truth, let's try it with a little bit of intellectual honesty, shall we? david duke was a DEMOCRAT when he was wearing a white sheet. he didn't switch parties til 1989 (or was it '91?), a decade after he resigned from the KKK. even when he first ran on a republican ticket, the republicans didn't want him. it took him a long time for the GOP to forgive duke's racist history.

let's consider democratic robert byrd and the late strom thurman. and let's not forget how democrat trent lott applauded thurman saying that we'd be a better country or whatever if we had followed thurman's lead, ironically he was talking about during the time when thurman supported white supremacy and ran for president.

oh good grief, MH, run a dat-gum google on it if you want verification. or check any online-encyclopedia.
