Why Are The Republicants Disrespecting Henrietta Hughes And Julio Osequeda?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It's pretty hard to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" when you are essentially homeless or stuck in a dead end job at McDonalds.

And for lurking Republicants I haven't been without a job since 1986 but as a small businessperson some days I feel like I am working for nothing.

1. They are scared of the economic crisis getting a human face.

So, they will try to tear them down.

2. Rousseau Said The Ability To Empathize Is What Separates Humans From Animals

And yeah this economy sucks.

[enough]

3. Contempt for the poor is central to their world-view. Always has been.

It goes along with the deluded idea that wealth is a reward for some sort of virtue -- hard work, intelligence, risk-taking, etc.

4. After years AND YEARS of arranged photo ops

from blivet**, they assume that we "arranged" things too for this administration.

Think back at all the "moments gone wrong" that blivet** had and you can see why they think everything and everyone involved is a set up. I can never forget the two women he was hugging on in Mississippi for his post Katrina photo op ... they didn't even live in the area he was visiting.

They are used to propaganda and expect us to continue the tradition. It will take a while for them to realize that a real President doesn't have to make it up.

5. It is the Marie Antoinette syndrome,

If the little people ever recover and can take charge again, The Repugs fear they will loose their heads,,,,,,,

18. Hah..and I thought it was only me who came up with that. That's exactly what it is...

a little bread (incentive) and they think the world is sound and will move like clockwork.

6. First of all, they're racist.

Secondly, they are just mean people.

Thirdly, they believe poverty is a symptom of moral deficiency.

12. republicans are cruel, self-centered, and cynical

the personality of republicans I know is the best argument against their party

[AspenRose]

15. Yep

Pretty much it in a nutshell.

[Barack_America]

7. Because trashing others helps them feel good about themselves. nt

[Blue_Tires]

23. +1

[Avalux]

8. Because they hate people of lesser means.

For a political party so entrenched in "Christian family values" they are the exact opposite of what Jesus taught - tolerance and lending a hand when needed.

Karma happens though - they all need to remember that. How would they act if they suddenly found themselves in circumstances like Harriet and Julio?

9. As I was saying on the Political Videos forum...

"I just saw the Rush Limbaugh reaction to this story on youtube and was totally disgusted, he lies saying that "she asked for a car and a kitchen" and at the end of part 1 he says the crowd were cheering. On replay, the crowd were actually silent throughout what she was saying.

I won't post the links here as the uploader (a wingnut) can backtrack them but if you search on youtube using "Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama at Fort Myers Florida Town Hall" you'll find parts 1&2.

Need to go and have a long shower after watching and listening to that disgusting vile creature..."

[11 Bravo]

10. Because they are mean-spirited, soulless, shitstains?

[Still Sensible]

11. Didn't you hear about Limpballs trying to paint

Henrietta as a "welfare queen"? He said "she wants a new car, she wants a new house..." blah, blah, blah... While he's planning how to spend the $700,000 he makes each week.

[DBoon]

13. and the bank exec who redecorated his office is a hero to Rush?

Take a few thousand of government money to survive = welfare queen
spend millions of government money to redecorate your executive suite = hero of capitalism

[Still Sensible]

14. As the Rude Pundit accurately points out

that is what motherfuckers do, they fuck mothers. That is their nature.

[Jennicut]

17. Ha ha! Very true.

[Jennicut]

16. What gets me is that a wife of a local Repub politician is who is helping Henrietta

The Repukes on the national level don't get what simple humanity and sympathy and empathy are. They are cold hearted bastards.

[acmavm]

19. Because they have no decency.

[ChipperbackDemocrat]

21. How we make Limbaugh's insult work for us.

What does Henrietta Hughes really want? SHE WANTS TO EARN HER OWN WAY!

Check this out. How we make Limbaugh ripping the poor work for us..and against him.

The DO-NOTHING CHEAP LABOR REPUBLICANS: They really hate working people.

[acmavm]

22. And yet the only ones that I know who will admit voting for Chimpy

and they boys are claiming they was fooled! Fooled I tell ya! And they get really pissed when they are reminded how much of this shit is THEIR fault.

And I LOVE to remind 'em.

[jillan]

20. Because Repugs only care about business - not people.

And they obviously do a shitty job of taking care of the one thing nearest and dearest to their hearts.
