NFL act, signed into law by Ronnie Reagan
With Reagan's lines in today's politics would be considered a Democrat but he is your hero and model of what a republican. You Tea Party folks need to move a little bit closer to the middle of the conservative meter, far right is killing your party. You will find out next major election what damage you have done to your party.
NFA not NFL, stupid auto correct on my phone

LMAO The democrats have moved so far to the left that today they would consider Jack Kennedy as a member of the Tea Party.

Both parties are worthless but the dems make more sense. Global warming is a myth, women have a rape defense that doesn't allow them to get pregnant, They want government out of their lives but they think there should be a law against abortion.? Wtf, I don't argue politics because the Republicans don't base their arguments on fact. Or if there are facts they take what they want to say out of context and distort the original message. It's like pissing in the wind lol. I work with some Republicans that hate entitlement programs but can't wait to collect their social security. You don't want government programs or their involvement in business but if there was no minimum wage they would pay workers 2$ an hour to maximize profits. I could go on and on but I have learned about arguing politics. I keep to myself mostly but can't stand the lies and half truths spouted by both sides but the Republicans are winning that race! The dems are not perfect but any stretch but they are the lesser of 2 evils right now.
All I have to say is look at California, a prime example of how liberalism fails.

California was hurt alot by good olé arnie swartzenwhatever. As I said before, both parties are broke and a gut and revamp is about the only solution. Get rid of the lobbyists and that will help. I suppose you Republicans believe in trickle down economics? What a joke, if EVERYONE, wasn't so greedy it might work but the "he with the most toys wins" mentality will never allow that theory to work. Most of you Republicans look back to the 50's as America's high point. Do you guys realize that the CEO to average worker pay difference was 36:1 or something like that, now it is 300:1 or some crazy shit like that. My wife and I make a decent living, well over the 125k total but there are a lot of people are barely making ends meet. Now you will reply that you worked hard to get what you have and you deserve it. I don't argue with that but companies and corporations are greedy and they don't want to give the entry level people a better rate per hour because they say they will have to raise prices.... no they dont, they just have to pay the top 10% of their earners and lower their compensation by a couple points. What can you by for 5 million per year that you can't buy for 3.5 mil or so? The middle class is what drives this economy but the upper class or top 5% of earners don't get that part. Middle class buys the shit you sell, if they have no money they can't buy, if they can't buy you cut jobs and production. Should the top 1% control 48% of the world's wealth?
Typical left wing talking points, they're a dime a dozen and I've heard them for years.
Governors either sign bills or veto them, show me a bill from the ultra liberal state legislature that impacted the economy and Schwarzenegger vetoed.
I'll be waiting.

I told you before, I think both parties are broke but the dems look out for the little guy more. I embrace some republican ideas. I think the government should stay out of what guns I care to own, but, there needs to be regulation on the requirements on who can own weapons. I think we should be able to decide what we put in our bodies drug wise. But on that point the government should not be allowed to tell a woman she cannot have an abortion, or force a woman to have an invasive ultrasound prior to an abortion. Arnie won because he was popular from his movies and I would like to hear someone defend him as a great politician. Funny, you are on a forum for drugs and your hero started the war on drugs. I like points from both sides and right now democrats have more points I like. I'm not here to argue or convert anyone, just here to offer my opinion. I don't have deep hatred for your party.

WTF does Reagan have to do with the 13th, 14th, 15th amendments or ObamaCare?
And by the way, you and all the liberal ilk like you can crow all you want about the Tea Party and how it's killing the Republican Party. While your sincere concern is appreciated, they don't give a fuck about the Republican Party. They aren't changing their opinions or ideals FOR ANY REASON. Honorable and brave individuals don't compromise their values for expedience or convenience. The winds of power ALWAYS change direction.

I make 20$/hr and work alot of overtime in a non air conditioned central Florida warehouse so don't try to label me as a hypocrite. I also didn't say anything about me needing help from the government or that I make a shitty living. I am talking about the people making 10$/hr with 2 kids to feed and rent to pay. I am unskilled labor and I got lucky my hard work paid off for me and my wife.

You're such a retard. Constantly trying to prove you are the most radical left wing Socialist on RIU. Well congratulations we believe you. You have come up with and devised the most perfect form of Socialism in its infinite number of flavors.

Reagan is the Republican hero was my whole point. "The Republican Kennedy" is what I have heard him called. He raised taxes = anti current republican, fought for gun control= anti current republican. The extreme far right has a stranglehold on your party and it will show with the elections next year when you lose seats. I am no expert in politics but I know bullshit when I hear it and there is more coming from your side right now is all I am saying. Are the dems perfect? Not by any stretch, but, their bullshit doesn't stink as much lol. Maybe you should post some more catchy republican chain emails to prove your point.

The Tea party are like leaches, and your party was the weakest when they got enough steam to get their voice out there so they latched onto your party. And i just want one answer from you then I'm gonna get high. Why the fuck did the Republicans try to repeal Obamacare 50 million times when there is no way Obama is going to sign away his signature bill? Your party would have been better of to let it slide with ALOT of objection and when the website didn't work right come back and say "I told you so" and sway on the fence voters and have half a chance to win some seats and maybe a presidential election.
