GOP "Values" Make No Sense

This doesn't make much sense, but it is the position the Republican Party has taken. They don't mind sending troops to be wounded (both physically and mentally) in a foreign war, but if they make it back home they don't have any interest in helping them find a job (or a home). They showed this by killing the veterans jobs bill in the Senate just a few days ago.

And the same is true of children. They are all about "saving" the fetus, but once a child is born they have no interest in seeing that the child has food, shelter, clothing, and a decent education. That's why they want to drastically cut social programs and education (even though 1/5 of this country's children live in poverty).

But they're quick to say the rich should have a new and massive tax cut. After all, that worked so well in the Bush administration (increasing the deficit and debt, throwing the country into recession, and destroying millions of jobs). Now they want to make veterans and children (and the elderly and the working poor and the disabled) pay for their own bad economic policy.

You'd have to be insane or extremely cold-hearted to vote Republican this year.
