Republicans

Was just dropping off my son at school and heard that last night the Republicans got a bill through that will cut $17 billion in spending. Normally politics doesn't affect me, but this just got me going! The spending axe falls on to the social welfare programs, like foster care, adoption assistance, student loans, food stamps and the like. They blamed the need for such cuts in these types of programs on Hurricane Katrina rebuild. LIARS!! There are two reasons why I say such a thing...

1. If we were not fighting a war that we were led to under false pretenses by a REPUBLICAN administration the need to replace the Hurricane Katrina rebuild would not scrape our reserves.

2. The very same Republicans are attempting to pass another bill that cuts taxes by about $70 billion (I forgot the exact number). These tax cuts focus primarily on the wealthy.

Now, being a person of sound mind and body, knowing that there is NOT a filthy rich future for me, I say WTF!! Cutting programs for kids, college students and the poor is not the way to go to get money for the war mongering president!! Worse yet, giving tax credits to the wealthy is not a good move right after such cuts!

If I had ever claimed to be a Republican (which I have not) I would hang my head in shame as such a hideous display of callous classmanship!

I know now that even though I may have voted republican (and yes I dropped the uppercase on purpose) in the past because of an individuals politics, I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do it again...

republicans suck!
