I'm a chauvinist leprechaun
I've read all the generalizational slams on republicans on this board, but Here's a bit of info to rebuke those claims that the Liberals make oh so often about the Republicans.....
EIB:
here are so many myths being blown up right in front of our eyes - if people would only have the courage to see them.
"The first one, and this has always been a biggie, is that the Republicans are the party of big business, the rich guys, and that the Democrats are the ones that care about the little guy. But when you look at Democrat policies, they do nothing but keep the little guy little, by design.
Of the ten wealthiest senators, seven of them are Democrats, and then you look at all of this Global Crossing (Liberal DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe cashing in on stock right before it went Bankrupt... Exactly what the Bush administration DID NOT DO with ENron.. But Do you see this story on the mainstream press??? Noooo ) and Enron stuff and you find out on who's really tied to big business. "
On Terry McAuliffe:
"This is the guy running the Democratic National Committee. You have an Enron situation here, folks, and a man who personally profits from an initial investment of a hundred thousand dollars in Global Crossing and cashes out for $18 million - right before the company declares bankruptcy."
Allow me to also add also the huge Airline Bailouts.. I think US AIRways 50 Billion?Ithink.. and Boeing (another 60 billion i think) .. Who was lobbying for the money to be given to those???? Tom Daschle (Democrat S. Dakota)'s Wife.. Pushed by Daschle himself...
"And then there's this notion that the Democrats and liberals are the ones concerned about peace, love and the rest of the world. I think Bill Clinton cared more about his legacy, and it seems people are finally waking up to that fact. There was a story on Monday involving Hillary Clinton and Charles "Chuck" Schumer in The New York Post.
Hillary made a promise to Schumer way back when that she would follow his lead on matters concerning Jews and Israel. With that in mind, she had to stand tongue-tied as she listened to Schumer slam her husband for his association with Yasser Arafat.
Schumer addressed New York's Central Synagogue last Sunday, where he blasted Clinton as a terrorist enabler who coddled Yasser Arafat for years. According to the New York Post, Schumer actually had the temerity to tell the group that Clinton had failed to hold Arafat's feet to the fire as Palestinian-sponsored terrorism against Israel continued throughout the 1990's. "
Ya'll can argue these points if you wish, but I'm just here illustrating the fact that the myths are not the one sided generalizations as many people believe.. I hope that when people write such statements, that they remember this article and are educated just a little more about such things.. because these are things that you don't hear about in the mass media.
Off to enjoy the speech in a bit!
