The real moral values of the Republican Party are demonstrated in brutal, sadistic form in the last federal budget proposed by George W. Bush.
The federal budget President Bush proposes for 2009 begins a program of cutting 196 billion dollars from Medicare health care benefits for the elderly and extremely impoverished Americans.
Why would the Republicans do such a cruel thing? Well, part of that money taken away from Medicare will go to pay for policies that make rich Americans even richer.
But, some of the money the Republicans will save by cutting Medicare benefits for senior citizens will go to pay for something even more inhumane. The Republicans propose using some of the money taken away from Medicare to pay for a new generation of nuclear bombs.
What do we need new nuclear weapons for? Terrorists cannot be defeated with nuclear missiles. Nuclear weapons are designed to kill civilians by destroying entire cities, vaporizing them, melting them, burning them into nothing more than radioactive cinder and ash.
These are the moral values of the Republican party: Less medicine for the sick, and more nuclear weapons to kill people by the millions.
This isn’t about getting tough, or being fiscally conservative. It’s inhumane. It’s just plain insane.
The Republican Party agenda, led now by George W. Bush, and to be continued by John McCain, leads on a path of fear and destruction.
America can do better. We must do better.

Please don’t be like so many others and lump all people of a group along with bad apples. I am a republican and I don’t represent anything you have said about republicans. I belive in reducing the size of government, the rights of individuals, the US constitution and public enterprise. I DO NOT agree with George Bush’s policies and many other Republicans feel the same way.
Washington is broken and this statement means more than the lip service that Mit Romney gives it. Ron Paul is the ONLY true republican in search of the candidacy and perhaps the only one left in the party. He has a greater depth of understanding of what’s wrong with washington than anyone else I have heard.
He’s the only one that knows how to fix our problems and sadly he’s a longshot to win the candidacy because he’s the only hope for people that respect true republican values like me.
Being a republican is NOT about being a liar like George Bush and the other’s he has surrounded himself with. It is not about stealing money from individual taxpayers to feed the bureaucrats in washington. There are bad apples out there and unfortunately they ruin the perception of the whole group when they lie and cheat taxpayers to make their warmongering friends into billionaires.

Well, okay, NotAllRepublicansBad. What are you doing to fight against Bush’s budget. What are you doing? Anything?
Just coming on here and whining about how we’re criticizing Republicans for not doing anything to stop George W. Bush and his radical agenda?
