Here's what we have to look forward to if the Republicans win

Don’t Vote Republican

The Republicans think the fall elections will put them back in control of the House and  Senate.  Here is what we have to look forward to if that occurs:

Rollling back the Democratic health care reform–like the Republicans ever had a plan, other than don’t get sick.  Cut Veterans benefits.  After all you know all those post-traumatic stress war heroes are just faking it.

Pulling the plug on Grandma, with the privatizing of Social Security Insurance.  Don’t look now, but the Republicans will put your Social Security payments into the Wall Street stock market.   Like that worked out well for them before.

Rolling back clean air and water legislation, canning “cap and trade,” and reducing environmental regulations to allow big business to profit and  ramping up pollution to no end.

Reversing any gains on slowing global warming.  Oh right, that’s just a hoax.  Too bad Republicans can’t fathom the scientific evidence to the contrary.

Extending tax cuts–but only for the top 2% of Americans, those earning more than $250,000 per year.  The regular people will have their taxes go up–after all, the wealthy in this country have always made their fortunes on the backs of the working poor.

Passing legislation to stall green energy research and development–after all, there is still plenty of oil available–too bad they can’t scoop it out of the Gulf.  And the Republicans rely on those big corporate donations!

Ramping up expenditures for privatizing the military; after all, Blackwater employees still have to make a living, too.  Too bad they give the American soldier the shaft.

Destroy the Department of Education, because everyone knows teachers are really just babysitters, and their jobs don’t need protection.

Besides, Republicans prefer to home school.

Creating a constitutional amendment to make America a “Christian nation.”  This would make Christian prayer (but not any other religious prayers) in public schools mandatory, because everyone knows kids taking tests in school are praying anyway.

Roll back women’s right to choose, ban gay marriage, and otherwise butt their noses into the private lives of Americans who aren’t exactly like themselves.

Dodge the immigration reform bill by increasing the hiring of illegals so private corporations can increase their profits.  No wait, that’s just as it’s always been.

Get us into another war.  Maybe those weapons of mass destruction are in the Arctic!  Blow up the North Pole, and increase polar ice-cap melting just to show those dang Democrats that Sarah Palin’s shooting of polar bears from airplanes may be the only sporting chance they have.

Gosh, with Republicans back in control, won’t America be worse off like before?  Don’t be dumb.  Vote for Democrats.
