Fox only has a handful of Hate Memes to attack the middle class....and all are getting rusty.

Entities like Fox that rely on lies and hate will wither on their rotten vines at some point in time, and that time is soon.

It's more like... They're giving it away to folks that are not me.
So yeah, since their demographic trends old...

Sorry, being cynical again. I am trying to be more positive.

"We don't ask how much it is going to cost when there's a war. Why do we ask how much it is going to cost when it comes to doing good for Americans."

Prior to the debate, Anderson Cooper had that panel and that's when I think it was said. They apparently did some 'person in the street' types of interviews. But I couldn't find it on Google this morning.

Because we don't ever ask, 'well how much will this war cost?'

- Lower taxes. (You can be a millionaire, too, one day, but only if we lower taxes for current millionaires and billionaires.)
- The freedom to go without health-care.
- The freedom to be forced into a pregnancy you don't want and raise a child you can't afford.
- The dignity of being poor without receiving handouts and pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps instead.
- The freedom that those two people over there can't marry.
- Bringing the country back to its christian roots and making sure that laws comply with the one, true, correct version of Christianity. (TBD: Make a list what the Bible says, what it means and what it actually means.)
- Great job opportunities by removing 11 million undocumented workers from the economy and concentrating them in camps.
- The freedom to fight your country in a brand-new war in the Middle-East. (Okay, THIS ONE will be a cake-walk. We promise.)

- no health care except with private health ins (cut Medicare / medicaid)

- no time off for family matters

- no health care for children without insurance

- no prescription drug program

- no social security

- college only for the rich

- education only as needed for kids - Newtie wanted to put them to work

One platform made to stand on for people - one platform built for people to fall through.
