 An Opinion of Republicans

Republicans, as I see them,  are people who:

1) Constantly state "We Support Our Troops" while;
     a) not giving them the proper equipment they need while fighting in active
         theaters in Afghanistan;
     b) cutting food stamps by $5B and wanting to cut them by another $40B while
         there are millions of veterans that need them to eat because they are disabled
         or can't find work after returning from war;
     c) not passing any kind of jobs bill, like repairing and replacing the 80% of our
         infrastructure that has failed repeated inspections and have been deemed
         "obsolete or in need of repair or replacement;"
     d) allowing veterans disability claims to go without determination for eligibility for
         over 18 months;

2) Would rather talk about "Legitimate Rape," and that a women "could shut down
    that whole process" (meaning a woman could shut down her reproductive system
    to prevent getting pregnant) if she is raped;

3) Would rape woman by forcing them to have a "Trans-vaginal Ultrasound" prior to
    an abortion even if a) no medical doctor requests it, or thinks it is necessary, b) in
    cases of incest or rape, and c) when the mother's life is in jeopardy; 

4) Deny extended unemployment benefits to 1.3 million Americans who can't find
    work because the 113th ("Least Productive Congress in the History of the United
    States") Congress didn't do their jobs;

5) Refuse to raise the Federal Minimum Wage to $10.10 per hour which would lead
    700,000 "tipped Workers" out of poverty and create $12.6B in more spending that
    would help the economy;

6) Create Voter ID Laws to combat the so-called "widespread Voter Fraud" that exists
    in places like Iowa where they found 16 cases out of 5.6 million votes after an
    exhaustive study, or where 17 cases were found after spending $150,000 in
    taxpayer money to investigate voter fraud out of millions of votes;

7) Insist on giving corporations billions of dollars in tax breaks while cutting education
    and other very much needed programs;

8) Refuse to work on any kind of immigration reform all the while saying they are for
    it;

9) Say they are for Human and Civil Rights while attacking the LGBT community,
    minorities, and women;

10) Refuse to allow the financial industry to be reformed causing not only the "Too Big To Fail" (TBTF) banks and institutions not to be dismantled, but to actually allow the number of TBTF banks and institutions to rise.

I said to myself over this new years, while contemplating how to grow my blog www.Medic3569.blogspot.com and strive toward my mission that I would be like I wanted my employees to be when I owned a business, "Don't just bring a problem, bring a solution."

 I will now go follow my mission statement and start thoroughly researching one issue at a time and see if I can offer any solutions. I hope you will get involved.
