    They don’t talk policies, huh?

    Can you name one republican policy that’s both not hateful and something they actually follow through on? Just one.

    Edit: I like to think that they deleted their comment because they had no answer.

      I’m not that poster, but if you want a policy that Republicans have endorsed that’s not explicitly hateful, please consider tax cuts for the rich. Yes, the net effect is bad, but the stated motivation and I think the honest motivation is not one of malice towards the poor.

      It is true that down the road Republicans will complain about the budget, so they will use their tax cuts for the rich as an excuse to try to cut benefits for the poor, but it doesn’t mean that when they cut taxes now it’s intentionally malicious. Many of them are just trying to get more money or give more money to their friends.
