The Republicans Are My Enemy

Muhammad Ali told it like it was. The white people were his enemy not the vietcong. Take him to jail. (a hero)

To me (I am poor) the Republicans are my enemy.

Every single thing their "party" truly stand for is 100% bad for my family, my country, and my world. You have to wade through all the bs they spew every day to figure this out, and of course watch how they vote (or don't).

They only fight for the interests of the billionaires, and me and my family can starve to death as long as they are concerned. That or die from lack of medical attention because I don't have $100,000 to pay some doctor.

I can't see how anyone with a working brain wouldn't feel the same way.

Am I the only one?

rings so much more flat when politicians actually exist in the political landscape who do clearly otherwise.

Go, Bernie, Go.

Although I think a lot of people who vote for Republicans are hoodwinked into thinking that they are somehow representing their interests. Many people don't know what their best interests are and who really represents them.

If the veil of ignorance that plagues the electorate in the country were suddenly lifted, I think the Republican party would immediately be seen as a fringe group and be relegated to powerlessness.
