List: 25 (Scary) Things Republicans WILL DO if they Regain Power !
List: 25 (Scary) Things Republicans
WILL DO if They Regain Power !

By Greg Jones
Blacks4Barack Org.

With the barrage of sound bites, talking points and rehearsed
rhetoric, many times the message can actually be smothered by
all the well-practiced words. With 9 days until the midterm
elections November 2nd, it is of vital importance that all
Americans know exactly what the Republican/Tea Party goals
are, should they be successful in their quest to regain power.
A quick look at their actual plans/agenda shows just how
detrimental a GOP victory could be to 98% of Americans.

Here's what the Republicans WILL DO...

1) Abolish minimum wage laws which would force American
workers to work for less pay
2) Block unemployment benefits forcing millions of Americans
to literally starve
3) Slash Social Security benefits-even up to half of what they
are now forcing senior citizens to literally starve
4) Gut Medicare funding
5) Gut Medicaid funding
6) Abolish Department of Education
7) Abolish Department of Energy
8) Abolish the Veteran's Administration
9) Cut much state financial aid needed to avoid massive
layoffs of teachers, police, fire, etc.
10) Cut of state aid would have a trickle down effect on local
municipalities/suburbs-forcing them to do layoffs of police,
fire, as well as close libraries, etc.
11) Will defund various categories of new heath care reform
stripping millions of Americans of much needed access to
quality health care
12) Will reverse aspects of financial reform to aid
corporate/wall street in the continuation of unscrupulous
practices against Americans
13) Will extend tax cuts for the richest 2% adding an
additional $830 billion more in deficits
14) Will block funding for homeless veterans and homeless
women
15) Will disregard the needs of middle America, minorities and
the poor
16) Will work toward increased privatization of prisons
17) Will block lending programs/tax breaks for small
businesses
18) Will paralyze the Obama administration with endless
subpoenas and investigations in hopes of impeaching President
Obama
19) Will literally shut down the government by defunding
programs
20) Will repeal the 14th amendment which provides citizenship
to all people born in the U.S.
21) Will kill cap and trade efforts
22) Will slash food stamp programs
23) Will roll back and repeal equal rights for gays
24) Will privatize Social Security
25) Will cut education spending along with college student aid

These are just 25 (and yes...there's more) of the actual
objectives of the GOP should they regain power. As all can
see, their views, ideas and goals are extremely AGAINST 98% of
Americans and would definitely lead our country down the road
to destruction. Although the media is well aware of this list
being the GOP agenda it has been very disturbing witnessing to
what degree they have purposefully withheld these facts from
We The People. Media manipulation is at an all time high and
it will be up to us, through social media and every other way
that we can, to share the truth...since the media won't. (So,
as with everything we post, feel free to share)

Save America...
Through TRUTH !

2. But it would be done with a spoon full of sugar to make the bitter medicine go
down a bit easier. ;)

5. Please. Obama wouldn't do any of these things. There is a difference
between the dems and the repukes you know.

7. Agreed
Why farm out the work?

BTW, this is the same list that's paraded about before every election since the US standard of living started to implode. If the Party wasn't Republican Lite most of the time, and didn't spend the rest trying to falsely resuscitate New Deal enthusiasm, hysterical mouthpieces wouldn't need to resort to this tactic. But I think we're some distance away from that.

10. Oh really.
That list is simply the truth. It's not hysteria.

Repukes want to abolish the minimum wage. Several candidates have said this, including WV Senate repuke John Raese.

Repukes voted to block the extension of unemployment benefits, and more than one teabagger (including that hack Joe Miller) has said unemployment benefits are unconstitutional.

Repukes want to privatize Social Security - Bush the lesser admitted that this week.

Several teabaggers said they want to abolish the Department of Education and privatize the VA.

They also want to gut financial reform regulations put in place.

Repukes HAVE disregarded the needs of middle America, minorities, and the poor.

I could go on and on, but I don't need to waste my time on someone like you. Do a little research before you lie.

11. People would starve in the streets
if it weren't for the private prisons.

I cannot imagine the world they envision, it sounds like armageddon-especially if you list all the possible military actions, land grabs and future ecocides.

What Americans are up against is not a political battle, it is a legal one, since the secret money funding the RW is not American at all. We make a fatal mistake by thinking these legal issues have anything whatsoever to do with partisan politics. The RW wants to disguise themselves as American, but their money and agenda is anything but!

This is why Americans have not been able to defeat the RW, because they hide behind the Republican Party, it is a most ingenious coup, wearing a cross and draped in the American flag.
