10 reasons to vote against Republicans

 

1. Greed -The hallmark of this party is greed.  It is no secret that the GOP thinks that the greed motive will make everything alright.  “Let’s privatize social security”, “let’s let companies make money from selling pollution credits”, “let’s keep labor costs low”, says the Republican Party.  Republicans have a habit of doing what is right for rich people and corporations, and not what is right for our country.

 

2. ArroganceHow can the leadership of a country with over 25,000 nuclear weapons, a country that is currently occupying another country which they attacked unprovoked, insist that other countries not have nuclear weapons?  Is there no consideration in the US for the national security of other countries?

 

3. Erosion of personal freedom and privacy - you have heard of the unpatriotic “Patriot Act”?

 

4. Giveaways for the richRepublicans are responsible for passing legislation so that rich people only have a 15% income tax rate on the bulk of their income, whereas the W-2 earners and small businessman pay up to 43% income tax on their incomes?  These types of tax laws stifle opportunities for the individual in favor of the corporations and people who have already made their pile of cash.  What ever happened to the idea of taxation based on the ability to pay?  Republicans make sure that those people with the greatest ability to pay, pay the least!

 

5. Republicans promote PrideWhile many American people are under the mistaken belief that pride is a good thing, the truth is that pride is evil!  If you don’t believe me, get out your bible and look it up yourself.  We can more easily see the wickedness of pride when we consider the pride that inspired the 9/11 terrorists.

 

6. Anti-environment - It is absolutely unforgivable for Republicans to hold up the ratification of the Kyoto Accord, in favor of… what else, but … money!

 

7. Anti-peace- Republicans are consistently promoting hate against countries such as North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela. 

 

8. Republicans preach “pre-emptive aggression” – The judgment of Republican leadership failed to realize that it is highly immoral to attack someone because they ‘might’ attack you.  Republicans rarely consider morality in their decisions.

 

9. Republicans are creating more terrorism, not less.  The United States cannot go in and kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and expect that their families are going to like the US!

 

10. Not conservativeRepublicans took a Federal surplus and turned it into the biggest deficits in history, and then have the nerve to call themselves ‘conservative’, unbelievable!

 

Please, do yourself a favor the next time you are at the polls, and vote against Republicans!
