Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice.

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

The Republican Party has a problem. A big problem.

As the party of the wealthy and big business, how in the world can it convince the working class to vote for its candidates?

This is no small matter. It is not some little glitch. Rather, it is a fundamental core issue that lies at the heart of the Republican Party. It requires a grand strategy at the highest level.

The problem is simple. The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

This is quite a conundrum.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I'll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”

This, of course, is not going to work.

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie.

The Republican Party must lie. It has no choice. It must conceal its true inner core. This is a matter of life or death for the party. The survival of the Republican Party itself depends upon lying. It cannot exist without creating a false impression about its true purpose.

Much more at the link of this spot-on article. Unbelievable that there are enough nitwits, pinheads, numbskulls, dunces and dolts who fall for Republi-con bull-sh*t.
 
Yet it's the Dems who use the unions who promise higher wages that force businesses overseas, unsustainable pensions that go in the red and are filled with corruption at every level. They promise free shit to those who won't earn it themselves, producing stupid people who can't, then having to depend on government, thereby solidifying their support. They scream that anyone who doesn't support them are racists, Nazis, deplorables, immoral, haters, etc. and the stupid believe them.

Sorry, but rational thinking people will always exist in this country. If we didn't, you Dems would turn the greatest nation on earth into a 3rd. world shithole, full of takers.

Say the people who invented the Russian collusion hoax, the Kavanaugh rape gang lie, the Covington Catholics lie, the Roy Moore pedophile lie, the "hands up don't shoot" lie, the Trayvon Martin lie, the "you can keep your doctor" lie, the fake Ukraine transcript, the fake dossier, etc.

In addition to the hilariously self-unaware hypocrisy of your petty, simple-minded propaganda, it also fails to comprehend that Americans see through the fallacy of Democrats confiscating everyone's money to flamboyantly give it back to them in small doses so they can act like generous saints while smearing anyone who objects to your dependence-creating nanny state scams as cruel and unjust.

We had factories, roads, hospitals, universities, and light years of technological and cultural progress made in an incredibly short amount of time before the first dime of income taxes were ever collected. Government isn't the solution. It's the problem.

You fallacy-peddling leftist demagogues who sell this sleazy, time-disproven welfare state bullshit to people are the scum of the Earth.

You're the classic example of; having both feet in the same shoe.

The backwards people to whom you refer as "rational thinking" are the reason we were the last nation in Western culture to abolish slavery.
Conservatives are an anchor on America's ass, and while progress continues, it does so at less than half the speed that it should.

Ignorant butchery of what happened. The Constitution and the lunatic extremism of our abolitionists is why there was such a fight here. Crack open a book or two before running your uneducated mouth, brainwashed bigot.

Hence all the Democrat-run places being war zones covered in feces, needles, illegal immigrants, homeless, and/or abject poverty and failure.

Translation (if you aren't lying or misrepresenting anything here): There are TWO countries stupid and corrupt enough to irreparably compromise the integrity of their election in the pursuit of insultingly phony "voter suppression" bullshit. Therefore it must not be a stupid and corrupt practice.

Devastating counterpoint there, Socrates. As usual. :hand:

:laugh:
 
Are you related to banjofuck and Bullshit Blob, Arminius, or is cracker insanity spreading even faster than I'd imagined?
 
Nothing in this thread alters the proven facts that demonstrate beyond any doubt that Trump is a lying criminal.
You support a criminal as president who personally orchestrates cheating to get and remain in power. He offshores his cheating
and defames our press and the products of our own intelligence services in favor of Russia. You don't care.
That makes you human scum and a traitor to the USA.

So we will impeach him and then boot him next November. There is nothing else a REAL AMERICAN can do and remain one.
 
our entire nations investigators say Trump used Russian help in the 2016 election


the Russians helped him win the elections by telling lies


Trump embraced those lies


trump is not and never has been a real president


he is a guy who stole the election and its taking time to for cops to catch him


when you steal a car sometimes you get to drive it awhile before the cops catch you
