The Storm That Ate The GOP

[opebo]

Sorry, I'm not poor. Capitalism is actually working out quite nicely... I live it up in college, drive an Audi, can afford to go out as often as I want, etc. And I pay under $3 for premium gas.

Audis are crap, you dumb.

The Storm That Ate The GOP
Who will pity the soulless Republican Party ....?

Not biased at all there are you?

This is an idiotic article. The author wants to blame
republicans for everything. Are we to believe that there was no poverty under Clinton?
Are we to believe that Clinton didn't end welfare?
Are we to believe that natural disasters don't happen when Democrats are in office?
Is the Republican president to blame for slow response in New Orleans while
the Democratic governor and mayor are totally blameless?
Get real!

As usual, the libertarian misses the point.  You are such a closed-minded group you seem unable to read and understand simple essays.

The point is that capitalism caused the poverty that Katrina revealed, and that the GOP's laissez-faire pro-capitalist ideology is revealed as bad for nearly everyone.

Certainly the Democrats are awful too, just less so.

Let's see, capitalism caused Nagin not to use the buses he had.  Capitalism caused 80,000+ not to attempt to get out and 10,000 to still stay there.  Are they waiting for the power to come back on so they can get the latest market quotes?

No, I said capitalism caused the poverty that Katrina revealed.  I said absolutely nothing about the 'disaster response'.  Please try to actually read posts before responding, J.J.

Of course it was poverty which prevented persons from leaving.

Your taste in cars apparently mirrors your grammar.

I was referring to reliability, not taste.  Though it is true I find that sort of car repulsive.

That's why you kids need to buy Mercury's.    Haven't had a major issue with it for 8 years now.  hahaha

That would never work for the AuH2O - he is trying to be accepted by those slightly above him in the class heirarchy.  Audis are for climbers, Mercuries are for people who just don't care.

If the author of that article put his opinion into an equation it would look like this; Republican = Capitalist= evil. To that I say horses***.

I think he is saying Republican = Capitalist = bad for the vast majority of people.  That is not a moral judgement, but a very accurate observation of reality.

No it isn't, you silly ass, it is a class heirarchy that rewards those at the top.
