Yes, I understand that there are puppet masters at the top pulling strings on both sides. However, if we can focus on the voting puppets. Why do we have voting puppets that across the board seem to hate or blame illegals, gays, muslims, low income, and unemployed? In your language... Both sides have puppets... It seems the republican voting puppets consistently side with big money and the top 1%, while showing disdain, resentment, or blame for illegals, muslims, the environment, low income families, gays, and the unemployed.
Which makes me wonder if those republican voter puppets seem to lack empathy or compassion... while the democratic voting puppets seem to respond more to empathy and compassion by generally supporting gays, muslims, the environment, low income families, and the unemployed.

It's kinda funny that so many Liberals in this thread have the idea that all Republicans and Conservatives like and or have "Power and Money" .. When in fact the vast majority do not? And to those that are not rich and powerful they seem to have the notion that we are misguided by the notion that if we support Conservative ideas we will ourselves be rich and powerful.
Talk about stupidity..

Here is the "judgement" card once again rearing its head. Republicans desire the ability to JUDGE and SEPARATE who gets what.
It's really a childish sickness...
So you are saying that it is " a childish sickness" to be against a person getting a housing subsidy and food stamps when he is not working at a job.....
Even though he is blowing a $250,000 trust fund check every month.
You must be VERY VERY young.
Compassion without judgment is cruel in the long run.
You are seeing the build up of resentment from a working life time of enforced giving by a lot of people. People who remember a different type of "Charity" then Government extortion. They have seen all the abuses of the system and the third generation with no intention of working. The hear THEY will not get the money they thought was their pension because politicians have used it to buy votes and then hooked those voters on "free handouts"
I have lived in inner cities, I have given the down and out a place to stay... and I have been ROBBED all times but one andI have even had my life threatened for not forking over ANOTHER several thousand.

I don't think this is a problem with only republicans. It seems nowadays that the majority of people in general have little compassion, civility, or conscience. Our economy is rife with corruption, and it seems like it has become socially acceptable to screw people over whenever the opportunity arises. I recently had a problem where I had a flat tire and my car jack was not in the car (It was a brand new car $$*#&*). I had to walk almost 3 miles to an auto parts store to buy another jack. It was 100 degrees out easy. So I am walking with this 35 lb or so hydraulic jack in the heat, and not one person offered me a ride. Now in my younger days, people saw you walking in heat like that, and they would stop and offer you a ride, or help. Now no one does this. I am not saying there aren't still good people, there are a lot, but it seems that people are just colder now than in the past.

We are broke because the dimocrat leadership refuses to stop two wars Republicans started and,in fact,started a 3rd without any sort of approval....those same dims also insist on spending us into the ground with social programs that feed people who have been on welfare for so many generations,there isnt even a genetic memory of how to hold a job,other than walking to the box once a month for a check,and getting on a bus to the polls every two yars to vote dim....and its a wonder we are broke?...if Republians wars are so bad,why doesnt the majority leadership in DC stopped them and ordered the troops home?...huh huh huh?

I agree. If people believed that quote all education would be free, and student loans forgiven, since they were just learning to fish. Few practice what they preach though.

Forget the party. Look at the voters. Voters who care only about themselves, their own little bubble. Voters who resent illegals, gays, muslims, low income, and unemployed. Don't give me the stupid argument that both are the same when I can talk to one person who feels compassion and a deeper understanding and desire to help vs another person who only feels contempt.
You would love to blame it on the party, but I'm also including you personally. The voter. I see a severe lack of empathy, compassion, or conscience from republican voters across the board.
Just seems like to vote republican these days, you need to leave compassion, empathy, and conscience at the door.
