This is gonna be good.....


Enjoy........discuss.......




1. Repeal the Affordable Care Act (Health Insurance Reform)
Put insurance companies back in charge, repeal tax credits for small businesses, allow insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and to drop coverage when a person gets too sick and make prescription drugs for seniors less affordable.

2. Privatize Social Security or phase it out altogether
Turn the guaranteed retirement benefits of America's seniors over to Wall Street CEOs by putting Social Security at risk in the stock market or, as some Republicans have called for, phase out Social Security altogether and end a program millions of American seniors rely on for their survival.

3. End Medicare as it presently exists
Phase out and end Medicare as it presently exists for future generations of seniors -- ending Medicare's guaranteed healthcare benefits for more than 40 million American seniors -- and replace it with a voucher system which will result in higher premiums and fewer services for seniors.

4. Extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy and big oil
At a cost of nearly $700 billion, extend the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans and big oil, which are set to expire and which have and will continue to explode the federal budget deficit.

5. Repeal Wall Street Reform
Roll back the toughest consumer protections ever enacted, allow banks to continue to grow too big to fail, and ensure that predatory lenders continue to utilize their most abusive practices.

6. Protect those responsible for the oil spill and future environmental catastrophes
Cap liabilities for those responsible for environmental disasters like the Gulf oil spill and let companies like BP decide which victims deserve compensation for the disaster and what the timeline for relief should be.

7. Abolish the Department of Education
Put the big banks back in charge of student loans and put an end to federal assistance for public schools.

8. Abolish the Department of Energy
End America's investments in a clean-energy future and disband the organization responsible for oversight of nuclear materials.

9. Abolish the Environmental Protection Agency
Gut the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act -- which together protect our kids from air pollution and keep drinking water safe -- and disband the watchdog that holds polluters accountable.

10. Repeal the 17th Amendment
Take away your right to pick your U.S. Senator.

Im not so sure the DNC should be speaking on behalf of anyone but themselves.

Someone takes a few extremist views and makes it look like an entire party shares those views.

It is nonsense like this that keeps the country polarized.

I agree. I have to wonder, when the civil war starts, will they give us all blue and red shirts to wear, so we know who to shoot at?

As I see it, the problem is that it is always easier to accept the dogma than actually think.

" All Republicans are the pawns of the rich" is the same as " All democrates are commie loving leftists"

You do realize all you are doing is proving his point.

All except number 1 maybe.

Tell me how this thread helps dealing with the problems this country has?

Tell me how vilifying an entire group of people increases constructive dialog in the country.

That said, the party coming out with them is a smart move in an attempt to flush out the tea baggers and making folks understand that they are simple all republicans and white in the first instance. As well, it helps to galvanize the Democratic parties own base who need to see the reality of what is facing them in the fall.  If you really think that at this moment in time that we can sit down and calmly discuss these issues then I think you are mistaken.

Good luck with that.

Do you know when and why the Dept of Energy was formed?
The State Dept should be cut by 50%.
As for "Healthcare" about 70% of Americans don't want the Obama plan. I'm in favor of "National Healthcare" but I want the *same* plan that our Congress enjoys and also the same retirement package that (they) have. What's good for the goose..."

Tossing up snips of speaches to prove those points isnt proving anything. Not to mention those who were cited were republican politicians... who says they speak for the tea party?

Awww....it'd be such a better sport if they didn't and we were all left to assume who was who.
