The Republican’s Pledge To America (Decoded)






Jobs
:
- Stop job-killing tax hikes
Do not let the Bush Tax Cuts for only 2% of the richest people in America expire.
Do not let the Tax Cuts proposed by President Obama for The Average Working People of America pass.
- Allow small businesses to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their income
Lets redefine the term “Small Business”, to include the companies and individuals listed below so that they get tax breaks on 20% of the incomes listed below.
· Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., a pipeline company with 2009 revenues of $25 billion.
· Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., a Wall Street firm with $445 million in revenue in 2009.
· Price Waterhouse Coopers, an accounting firm with $26 billion in revenue in 2009.
· Koch Industries, a conglomerate of partnerships with 70,000 employees.
· The Hillman Company, an investment founded by billionaire philanthropist/industrialist Henry Hillman.
· Venn Strategies, Inc., whose chief operating officer is Brian Reardon, a former special assistant to former President George W. Bush.
· Ferrellgas, a propane and propane accessories business, with $2 billion in revenues in 2009 and 1 million customers.
· CoorsTek, a ceramics manufacturer founded by Adolph Coors, with 2009 revenue of $549 million.
· Dead River Co., with $500 million in revenue and 1,200 employees.
· McIlhenney Co., the Tabasco maker, with $250 million in revenue in 2007.
- Require congressional approval for any new federal regulation that would add to the deficit
The Extension of the Bush Tax Cuts proposed by The Republicans for the Filthy Rich Companies and individuals listed above, will add 3.9 Trillion Dollars to the deficit.


Are Republicans concerned with the deficit?
Yes!
Only when it comes to helping the Middle Class, The Sick, The Poor, The Elderly, and The Disadvantaged. But deficits are okay as long as we can continue to do our rich friends favors and get our palms greased in return.
- Repeal small business mandates in the new health care law.
Once again! Let’s redefine “Small Business”. And, lets protect our Rich Friends who own 2% of the nation’s wealth, either individually or as corporate entities.

Cutting Spending:
- Repeal and Replace health care
We would rather see people die before we allow our friends in the Health Insurance Industry to actually have to spend an extra dime to cover children and adults that have pre existing conditions. Or those who already have been paying their insurance premiums to get help when they actually need it, due to a catastrophic illness that may cost our friends to much to cover. So we want to make sure that they have the legal right to let these people die.
- Roll back non-discretionary spending to 2008 levels before TARP and stimulus (will save $100 billion in first year alone)
But let’s not mention the 3.9 Trillion that we will spend over the next 10 years for extending the Bush Tax Cuts for The Rich.
- Establish strict budget caps to limit federal spending going forward
Except for the spending that we demand for our own personal selfish motives; but not for the benefit of the country as a whole.
- Cancel all future TARP payments and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Once Again! Cancel everything that does not help us to help our Rich Friends, who compensate us substantially for doing so.

Reforming Congress:
- Will require that every bill have a citation of constitutional authority
Let’s tie up Congress with even more Gridlock than we have already in part of The House, and all of the Senate.

- Give members at least 3 days to read bills before a vote
Does it take Republicans 3 days to read a bill proposed by President Obama before they say “NO” now?- No!
Once they have a “White President”, it won’t take them more than a couple of minutes to vote.

Defense:
- Provide resources to troops
Republicans just voted against funding for the military because of their hatred for Gay People, Immigrants, (who are not a part of their clique), and for the First African American, AKA Kenyan President, (as defined by Newt Gingrich).
- Fund missile defense
We already have enough missiles to adequately defend our country now, and to blow up the entire world over and over again. It only takes one time for us to not have another chance at anything again.
In addition, we are fighting new types of Non-Traditional Wars that do not necessarily require the same forms or levels of “American Military Might” that the wars of the past required. Today’s wars can be fought with a brief case, jet airplanes, pipes filled with explosives or tasteless, odorless, invisible gasses that can kill thousands if not millions, before they are even detected.
War technologies, just like the antiquated ideas of The Republicans, need to be revamped for the realities of today’s world, and not the memories of the 18 and 1900’s.

- Enforce sanctions in Iran
We are looking for excuses to start another unnecessary war, so that our friends in the Military Industrial Complex, or the “War For Profit” divisions of our Government can kill our families, friends and fellow countryman just to make more money.

Our military needs to be focused more on “Defense” as opposed to “Global Conquest”. And our economic focus needs to be turned away from making other countries rich by allowing your rich friends to send jobs overseas, which created the massive trade deficit that we are now dealing with, because we are, and have been for some time, importing more than we are exporting.
The fact of the matter is, that Republicans really have nothing new to offer America. And their “Pledge To America” is nothing more than a repackaging of Newt Gingrich’s “Contract With America” from 1994.

You see!

That is the problem.

The very nature of your designation as “Conservative” already marks you as people who want things to go back to the way they were before…..Before, “Woman’s Rights”, Before, “Workers Rights”, Before, Human Rights, and especially, Before “Civil Rights”.

Oh by the way!

The bottom line with Republicans is this:

They will do anything that they can, to get that Damn Nigger out of the Whitehouse; even if that means destroying this country and everybody in it.

This is their true mission as a political party.

And you can count on this: Although The Republicans are always talking about “The American People Want This” or “The American People Don’t Want That”, the picture above will clearly show you who they are defining as “The American People”.

Their true mission is to turn 234 years of progress into regress. And the successful attainment of this goal will do this country, and “The American People”; and by the “American People”, I do mean all of us, (not just your special band of racist, thieves and murderers), great harm.

Think about that between now and election day………
