What The GOP Should Do.Run On "Democrat Income Inequality".

Posted on 01/07/2014 5:16:37 AM PST by Cruz_West_Paul2016

What better way to fight fire with fire.Being the Democrats want to run against income inequality,why not have GOP candidates run on the same issue,and call it "Democrat Caused Income Inequality",and just keep running ads showing the nation how their policies have caused every economic hardship over half the nation has been bearing since 2008.And this will be along with the failure of Obama-Care. Then this would put the rats in a tailspin for the next two years.

Since the inception of establishing a “minimum wage” the very basic coin of the realm,the cent, has become valueless. Todays penny costs more to make than its assigned value. Even Canada stopped making them.

Yet this is not an argument for abolishing the coin itself. But to point out when a minimum wage is raised it affixes a given rate of inflation to the period of time it’s emplaced. All raising the minimum wage does actually is devalue the dollar because costs get adjusted in time to compensate to the increase.

A case in point is in the 1940’s a candy bar cost 5 cents when the hourly minimum wage was $.50 per hour. What does it cost today ? Likewise what were the costs of basic goods and services during that period of time as compared with todays basic wage feel good tinkering ?

Who gets hurt the worst when these adjustments are decreed by government? It’s those living on fixed incomes who’s income value is based on previous minimum wage levels but not adjusted to the previous current rates of inflation.

When these feel good socialists frauds under the democrat party banner propose these increases. That is never considered as they pound their breasts claiming they’re for the little guy. All they’re doing is un-necessarily raising the price on goods and services broadening the demand that those affected seek help from them.

Focus on obamacare. Laser like

We wouldn't have obama care if the paymasters of RINO 'pubs didn't want it for those perceived insurance company profits. Ted Cruz gave them the path to end it before it was in effect, and the disgusting backstabbers sided with Obamacare.

The way to win is to focus laser like on (1)getting invaders and other unneccesary foreign workers out of the US ASAP and (2) bringing US jobs home for US citizens.

What we should be focusing on laser like is getting rid of those disgusting US Senators and HOR reps who campaign conservative and backstab conservative issues.

By the time elections come around, insurance companies will be blamed. Hopefully, any candidate who accepted donations from them is toast.

Detroit: The most Democrat city in the U.S.A. It is a garbage dump which people are moving away from.

Provo, Utah: The most Republican city in the U.S.A. It is a clean, family friendly city which is growing.

On everything else (cost of living, poverty rate, average class size, average income and all the libtard bromides), the cities are nearly identical.

Well, identical except for two things:

  1. One has been run by Democrats for decvades, the other by the GOP for decades.
  2. One is populated mainly by an ethnicity which it isn't polite to mention.

The media will aid Obama with this topic and ignore Obamacare problems. The media will be relentless with stories about “Inequality”!

The republicans do have to hammer Obamacare, but they also have to attack this “inequality” message.
“Inequality” will resonant with people. The economy is not good, and the uninformed will only hear that democrats want to help them.

Not a single republican voted for obamacare so please save me the spin that they are somehow responsible for it. You sound like Jay Carney.

You’re right on the media. In fact, nyt and wash post both have stories today on inequality. That stated, I have a hard time believing that if you poll actual mid term voters, that inequality will be high on their lists.

Interesting idea, but I don’t like any of our candidates talking like communists, even if it is to tar the dems. It gives credence to the commies’ bogus ideas, when we should be publicly shredding them.

The problem with the current GOP is they don’t seem to know how to go on the offensive very well.

BS. The are on the offensive and doing a darn good job of it. The are out to destroy their own conservative base.

The GOP is owned lock stock and barrel by corporations who benefit from crony Capitalism. The TEA Party is their avowed enemy and they will not rest until we are back on the plantation picking their cotton and singing happy folk songs.

If you are Happy with the way Obama Distributes Your HealthCare, You will Love the way Obama Re-Distributes Your Income.

If you like your Income...You can Keep your Income!

Good idea. Fantasy ad:
1. Open with scenes of poverty in D.C. hoods. Voiceover: Democrats say that income inequality is hurting America. Pan up to dome of the capital in the background;
2. Scenes of triumphant Harry Reid on the Senate Floor, with voiceover and caption: Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader. Career Politician. Net Worth: $10 million (or whatever);
3. Similar treatments of Hillary Clinton, yacht-boy John Kerry, the Obamas on vacation; quick cuts back to scenes of poverty in Chicago, Detroit.
4. Quick photo montages of about 12 more rich Democrats, union leaders, etc. with net worth amounts, followed by montage of 48 wealthy Dem at small scale, followed by montage of 196 too small to read;
5. Voiceover: Democrats. For them, inequality is working just fine.

Absolutely. The GOP can never win a close election because the Dems can manufacature all the votes they need and no one investigates.

Since the Republican establishment is stabbing us in the back maybe we can agree with them. Not because we a really do but just to put a scare in them for their amnesty loving backstabbing ways. If they are causing socialism by design, greed or stupidity they should be reminded of who pays for socialism.

“Democrat caused income inequality”
I like it but the media will never repeat it.

During this recession, Al Gore's personal wealth has gone from $60 million to $500 million, and he still does not have a job.

If we could all sell access to government power brokers, none of us would be poor.

How many didn't stand with Ted Cruz for his 21 hours, for every vote? How many would've supported not funding the govenment until Obamacare was defunded or the mandatory requirement ended? How come Boehner is still HOR speaker? How come the RNC gave money to Christie when Cuccinelli could've use it (and campaigning advice)? How come McCain and his disgusting fellow travelors in the US Senate haven't been renounced by the RNC?

If the 'pubs had stood firm with Ted Cruz, you just might have turned some dems and even Sanders to the anti-Obama voting. Who's going to join with a party of backstabbers?

Finally, why don't RINOs acknowledge that Ted Cruz is the perfect candidate, and paired with Rand Paul they'd be unstoppable. They don't always agree, and the intellectual energy would be excellent.

Do you renounce ever supporting Chris Christie or Jeb Bush as presidential candidate? If not, you're part of the problem.

Gosh, I hate it when people imply I'm not up on the issues or their background.

I can’t renounce “supporting” Christie or J. Bush, because I never supported them in the first place. But, to state that somehow, Republicans (RINO, Tea Party, Conservative, or otherwise) are at fault for Obamacare because they didn’t support the tactic of government shutdown is total balderdash. NONE — as in ZERO — Republicans voted for Obamacare.

You can disagree with tactics, but you cannot avoid the fact that Obamacare is absolutely 100% the fault of House and Senate Democrats, as well as Obama. Period.

I would vote for Ted Cruz in a heart beat. Same goes for Rand Paul. And guess what? If Paul Ryan is the nominee, he’ll get my vote too. As would Christie (will hold nose), Jeb Bush (will hold nose then take a shower), or even Romney (will hold nose, then take two showers).

Because, you see, nothing-—NOTHING— will ever be worse that a Progressive president, paired with a majority Democratic House and filibuster proof Senate majority. Nothing.

We are still reaping the pain of 2008. Make no mistake — Democrats are the reason (no RINOs) that our country is the peril that it is in. Intra-party genocide is bad for conservatives.

Don’t forget that the RATs never count the military votes and service the voting machines. Fraud is their middle name.

Where we disagree is voting for an unacceptable Republican nominee. The constitutional conservative movement will lose all steam if a traitor RINO is elected. Look at now...the RINOs cave every time.

The ptb have to know that a lot of us won't vote for "the lesser of two evils". Do you really think constitutional conservatives would've even been a movement if McCain or Romney were president?

That's where we'll never agree. With a president JebBush, Christie, Ryan etc, we're going down as a nation anyway. If that's the case, let the dems have the mess.
