Why do repugs like to provide ...

[butterfly77]

jobs, healthcare and equal rights for other countries except their own. Got any ideas know of any repugs that can explain this?

Why do they want to destroy their own country and build up others,and why do some hate a policy that helps blacks and hispanics, yet are happy and overjoyed when helping Asians,Iraqis or any other races. Why do they move heaven and earth to help others and hate their own when in the long run this hurts this country overall.

1. Oh, I wouldn't say they are helping Iraqis!

And really, this whole big topic of discussion about "the Iraqi elections" and "oh no the Iraqis are moving towards a Muslim state" and "oh, look who they elected, and what does this mean"... all that talk is just so much bullshit.

Because our government never intended to "bring democracy" or "elections" or "freedom" to Iraq. Our government intended to create a puppet state, and that is still its sole motivation when it comes to Iraq.

2. I was in the waiting area

of a car dealership several days ago, waiting for some repairs on my car, and of course there's a TV there which was turned on to CNN. There was a story about, I think it was the aftermath of the earthquake in Pakistan, perhaps some other disaster in some other part of the world. Anyway, the story mentioned that U.S. relief workers and doctors were providing all sorts of free medical care. The other women in the waiting room with me said somewhat sarcastically, "And of course we don't get free health care here."

I gave her my standard thing about this being the only first world country without universal health care and she nodded in agreement. Most people, especially the middle and working class, do understand how wrong it is that we don't have universal health care. It's one of the things that's dragging this country down.

3. repugs don't want equal rights in other countries.

Their big business cronies need cheap labor and no benefits for workers. They don't have a problem with Trade Zones in other countries where the regular rules of that nation do not apply to the workers. They're "helping" Iraqis to keep them under their thumb. The only problem for them is most Iraqis know what the game plan is. Still no power in huge parts, 70% unemployment, hospitals that have been torn up by bombs. Bush only offered 10 Million dollars at the beginning after the Tsunami. Only after international outrage did he pledge more. They don't care about anyone.
