Look at the GOP Closely Before Voting in November

People vote against their own best interest

As you continue believing the hateful rhetoric spewed by Fox News and Limbaugh against taxes, abortion, Muslims, blacks, hispanics, and gays, this has caused you to vote against your own best interest.

You voted for people whose political platform stated that they were against spending federal dollars on social programs, while you receive unemployment, medicaid, and food stamps. Your “hate” music has become a source of recruitment. Your heroes have become the sons and daughters who join the military and risk their life just to learn how to shoot, use C-4 explosives, and gain guerilla/militia training. You’re physically attacking and shooting an entire race of people because you think they’re Muslim. You praise and uphold the rights a fertilized egg more than you respect a raped survivor. 

Trickle Down theory and Deregulation is the Republican’s total plan. Simply put, Republicans have no plan to create jobs for America.

Romney’s 59-point jobs plan: “Unfortunately, no amount of economic theory, real world evidence, basic arithmetic, or just plain logic could substantiate the belief that his 59-point jobs plan could create even 59 net new jobs in the U.S. economy in total, by a conservative tally. Gov. Romney’s 59-point plan would actually cost the economy about 360,000 jobs in 2013 alone.” Tax dollars are needed to make the United States a civilized nation. Not only does Romney lie, but he has used exotic tax-avoidance schemes available only to the preposterously wealthy.  Marriott Hotel, while Romney was audit CEO, paid no taxes.

President Obama has big ideas. For the first time in years, the government took in more money than it owed in July. Republican Obstruction and filibustering will not be possible if we elect the right people to help our President.
