GOP Bullies: Making Life Miserable For Americans Who Aren’t Greedy, Bigoted Or Crazy

First and foremost, Romney and the Republicans are economic bullies, going after seniors by supporting the Ryan budget that would end Medicare as we know it. The Republicans are also bullying young people, by blocking legislation that would prevent student loan interest rates from doubling overnight.

Republicans are bullying female Americans with their War On Women, which even includes attempted state-sponsored rape. Republicans are bullying the ever-increasing Hispanic population in the U.S., by enacting “show me your papers” laws, opposing immigration reform, and suggesting that some 12 million “illegals” in the U.S. be deported, or, in Romney’s view, that they should “self-deport.”

The Republican Party is bullying working Americans with pathological union-busting legislation and tactics. And the Republicans are bullying blacks, seniors, poor people, Hispanic residents, and students (many of whom, surprise surprise, are likely Democratic voters) by slapping them with unnecessary voter i.d. requirements that are impossible for many Americans to meet. more

George Dubya Bush endorses Mitt Romney for President

“I’m for Mitt Romney,” Bush told ABC News this morning as the doors of an elevator closed on him, after he gave a speech on human rights a block from his old home — the White House.

You don’t announce significant things that you actually care about — for example, “Let’s get married, we’ll talk later” or, say, “One last thing: I have lung cancer” — from inside an elevator whose doors are in the process of closing.

Of course, it’s possible Bush was just trying to do Romney a favor. After all, many voters would see the George W. Bush seal of approval as more of a blemish than anything. Perhaps tossing the four-word endorsement out of a closing elevator was the best way to go about it after all. more

• a) Demand Congress stop the July interest rate doubling.
• b) Shop around, get a good price.
• c) Tax the rich to make college practically free.

(scroll down for the answer)

In just the past year, the average in-state tuition and fees at a four-year public college increased by 8 percent, so that it’s now at an all-time high of over $8,000. Even with “shopping around,” a responsible student whose parents aren’t able to pitch in would still take out easily over $30,000 in debt just for tuition, not to mention the cost of living. more

So, Romney’s Answer to Skyrocketing Tuition and Student Debt?
b) Shop around, get a good price.
