Only about the top 5% or so of our population is wealthy enough not to work. If what idiots like charla were right, would Republicans ever win an election? Would they ever get more than 10% of the vote? Nope.

In reality the vast majority of Republicans are middle and lower class. Funny how the party who always screams about stereotyping and ignorant judgement are so completely steeped in such themselves.

I worked two jobs 75-80 hours a week for 5 years, in the aftermath of the Clinton Catastrophe, trying to pay my bills and the monthly child support I owe and still have money to enjoy what little life I had. Now I'm at last to the point where I can work one job. Thanks, George!

Reply By: charla(Anonymous User)Posted: Wednesday, June 08, 2005I agree that republicans never worked a day in their miserable lives. They are only there to get richer while the poor get poorer. Believe me I'm one of those poorer and my husband and I both work everyday but I don't see us living like any republican. Of course, that is not to say there are democrats who aren't rich either but that's because they have worked for everything they have received in their life. Sorry but thats the plain and simple truth.


stop using mind altering drugs and get into a twelve step program fast, your brain is melting.

Sorry but thats the plain and simple truth. Nope. Sorry, it's plain and simple bullshit! I am a republican and an extreme one at that. And until the day I could not longer work due to disability, I worked EVERY day of my life! 10-12 sometimes 14 hours a day. And I started working the day I turned 16 which was 34 years ago. Am I rich??? NOT by a long shot! My wife who is ALSO a republican "still" works And we live in a hourse that is UNDER 1000sq ft. So, now RETRACT your "ignorant", know nothing statement.


do not hold your breath doc waiting for a retraction, far as I can tell from just its one comment it's obviously very brain damaged.

Get over yourselves. Slinging mud back at someone who made a comment you don't agree with doesn't make you any better.

because a lot!! of them have never made an honest living in their lives.


Not all.
Anyways who wants to work 50 hours a week? Work smarter not harder.

Yes, it's mindboggling that so many republicans SHOUT their 19th Century work ethic as though the 40hr work week was for dems and lowlifes.

COMMON SENSE ALERT:
Howard Dean was obviously not talking about registered Republicans. He was talking about Republican political leadership in Washington.

Did you really think he was talking about all of you, or are you just being disingenuous? I'm sorry for sounding offensive, but it really shocks me to log on and find this stuff being posted. I thought it was quite obvious what he meant.


Howard Dean today on Wolf Blitzer Reports
(notice he talks about it being hard to make ends meet and "raise a child in a morally ambiguous environment")

Link

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HOWARD DEAN, DNC CHAIR: Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that, because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: The Republican National Committee was quick to respond. It said "Dean's speech shows that the Democratic Party not only lacks leadership but is overflowing with anger."

Joining us now from Kansas City, the Democratic National Committee chairman, Howard Dean.

Governor, thanks very much for joining us. Those were strong words. I'll give you a chance to explain what you meant.

DEAN: Sure. I guess my job is to outrage the Republicans these days. Harry Truman, as you well know, was once told by a campaign supporter, "Give them hell, Harry."

And he replied, "I don't give them hell. I just give them the truth and the Republicans think it's hell."

Here's a group of Republican leaders who think that they're appealing to working people. They don't want a minimum wage increase. They're cutting police people off the beat. They're attacking Social Security. Now comes out that people's private pensions are in trouble under this administration.

Tell me what the Republican leadership has in common with ordinary working people. It is as if the Republican leadership never had to work a day in their life. What possible understanding could they have of what a working person in this country has to go through, if they're against everything that's good for working people?

BLITZER: But there are millions and millions of Republicans, more than 50 million of them, voted for President Bush's re-election. Are you saying all these Republicans, they don't have to work for a living?

DEAN: No, no, no. Look, we don't go after voters. Voters are the ones that pay our salaries. No matter whether they agree with us or not. But we do go after bad leadership.

And the Republicans, they have run up the largest deficit in the history of the country. They're attacking Social Security. They've got us mired down in a mess in Iraq, of their own making. We need some real leadership in this country.

And they've got to have some understanding of what ordinary Americans are going through. It is hard to make ends meet. It is hard to raise a child in a morally ambiguous environment. And Democrats need to speak to those issues. We are going to speak to those issues.

But we ought to go after the Republicans when they are once again hypocritical about what they're going to do for working people. They do nothing for working people.

...

BLITZER: This -- I guess what I'm suggesting is that -- you're talk about Republican leaders, political leaders.

DEAN: Yes.

BLITZER: But the impression you're giving is that you're talking about these millions, tens of million, of Republican people, average people, across the country that seem to be -- a lot of people are taking your words very personally.

DEAN: Well, you know, in part that's fueled by the Republican spin machine. I'm sure you must have gotten press releases about this, because as soon as I say things like this, the Republicans put out a cascade of paper.

My parents were Republicans. I don't hate Republicans. But I sure hate what this Republican Party is doing to America.


Don't look now but even the dems are leaving howling howie's boat.


Democrats Fear Backlash at Polls for Antiwar Remarks

By Jim VandeHei and Shalaigh Murray
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, December 7, 2005; Page A01

Strong antiwar comments in recent days by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have opened anew a party rift over Iraq, with some lawmakers warning that the leaders' rhetorical blasts could harm efforts to win control of Congress next year.

Several Democrats joined President Bush yesterday in rebuking Dean's declaration to a San Antonio radio station Monday that "the idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."

The critics said that comment could reinforce popular perceptions that the party is weak on military matters and divert attention from the president's growing political problems on the war and other issues. "Dean's take on Iraq makes even less sense than the scream in Iowa: Both are uninformed and unhelpful," said Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Ga.), recalling Dean's famous election-night roar after stumbling in Iowa during his 2004 presidential bid.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.), the second-ranking House Democratic leader, have told colleagues that Pelosi's recent endorsement of a speedy withdrawal, combined with her claim that more than half of House Democrats support her position, could backfire on the party, congressional sources said.

A lot usually means most which for that matter might as well include all since there is no specific as to who she refers to by name so give up the need to explain for her. I'm sure she's smart enough (since she actually made it to this site and know how to use a PC) to do it herself.

Anyways who wants to work 50 hours a week? Work smarter not harder.

Yes, it's mindboggling that so many republicans SHOUT their 19th Century work ethic as though the 40hr work week was for dems and lowlifes.


He meant find ways to do your work in 40 hrs but for many it's not possible. After all someone has to deliver the pizzas, stock the supermarket shelves, serve you your Whopper with cheese extra large, clean your office, care for your children, etc.

BTW I can't seem to figure out where did you get the idea that Reps believe that 40 hrs is only for Dems and lowlifes (aren't they more or less the same?). I mean after all lowlifes are the kind of people who want everyone else to stoop to their level rather than try to raise themselves to better standards, kinda like what the Dems are doing right now.
