Hope and Change with the "Republicans" in Power Now.

So there are some hoping on Change with the Republicans in Power.
Will they be creating or getting rid of policies that are detrimental to the American Public?

My guess is that we will get more and not less of the following as we had with Obama the "Democrat"

1) More loss of Freedoms to the American People
2) More QE and Special Favors to Wall Street
3) More offensive wars created abroad at tax payer expense.
4) More Crony Contracts created as paybacks
5) Obamacare will be amended but not repealed to make it an even sweeter deal for the Insurance and Health Care Industry since lobbyists have already payed for it.
6) Money Backed Lobbying will continue to increase
7) Dark Money and Anonymous Money will continue to increase into politicians coffers
8) Foreign and Economic Trade Pacts that put the majority of Americans at a disadvantage will not be repealed
9) More blaming the other guy as is typical in Partisan Politics


Any Republicans care to speak up and say any of these above policies will go away?
Or will it be all about infighting and wasting tax payers money to get nothing done and no policies repealed or passed that benefit Americans?

The banks and corporations and the MSM advertisers will determine what's best.

That about sums it up.
I edited your statement a bit

It is all a dog and pony show with different winners selected under each party with the majority of American's getting dumped on and asked to pay for it.

I'm not a republican, but I am a conservative, and I agree with your post.

And my prediction is that the next guy, or party in power will expand it just the same!

Our democrats and republicans are one party. The fascist party

All the above. Each election just more of the same.

And just how the hell are they going to accomplish that.

As a reminder we have two houses of congress who create bills that get 'approved' in the other then passed on to the Potus for signing.

As the last 6 years have shown the potus clearly doesn't care about what anyone thinks but what he does, and those who support him.

With the GOP in, there will be no hope for the average American and only change for the worst and the maintenance of the perks( and more) of the rich...
GOP change is Nixon in Watergate
Reagan with Iran Contra and huge tax cuts for the rich
Bush with 911, Iraq war, Katrina, and the 2007-8 depression

Imagine what the next GOP president will do?!

GOP EQUALS
NO HOPE
AND CHANGE FOR THE WORST

So you are saying that Republicans will be passing policies to:

1) Repeal DHS and other Police State Organizations?
2) Rein in the corruption and back room deals on Wall Street?
3) Rein in the Military Industrial Complex and Offensive Wars?
4) Put an end to Corporate and Banking Cronyism and Corruption?
5) Repeal Lobbyists Backed Obamacare?
6) Rid DC of Money Backed Lobbying?
7) End Dark and Anonymous Money?
8) End Disastrious Foreign Trade Pacts?

and Obama will be the ones holding them back?

Lol, thanks for making me laugh.

If anybody out there really believes either party has our best interests at hand should get there head examined. They are two wings of the same bird...

a reply to: jacobe001

So you are saying that Republicans will be passing policies to:

Nope.

What I said was Republicans can't pass anything without the Potus signing it to LAW.

I guess people forgot how it works up there:

Actually neo. All you have to do is pass it 3 times to make it veto proof. president gets only 2 vetos.

You are side stepping the question.
The thread is not about what the Dems (lobbyists) won't allow to get passed but what the Republicans will try to pass.

Since you side stepped the OP, I can assume you agree things will stay the same or worse.

What are you talking about? The only way to override a presidential veto is with a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress and it's extremely rare for that to happen (like 6% of all presidential vetoes historically have been overriden by Congress).

Man, I'd have thought you would have sobered up by now.

We just put the guys who brought us the economic collapse of 2007-2008 back in charge. Good luck with that. You people will get what you voted for.

a reply to: jacobe001

Yes we can get screwed over regardless
