Some things never change.....
"A quick glance at the list of bills prioritized for passage in the past year shows a significant focus on limiting women's access to pay equity, sex education, birth control, cancer screenings and abortion. In Wisconsin, we are in the greatest economic recession since the Great Depression. While residents are doing their best to weather decreased wages, lost jobs and health insurance fee hikes and coverage reductions, Republicans have been focused on advancing their personal social agendas and passing policies that negatively affect women and families." www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20120315/WDH06/203150393/Tanya-Atkinson-column-GOP-prioritizes-attacks-women
"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home - but not for housing. They are strong for labor - but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage - the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all - but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine - for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing - but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think the American standard of living is a fine thing - so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it." Harry S. Truman

"Republicans, of course, cloak themselves in the rhetoric of freedom and necessity and express concern about future generations. That the beast they would slay ultimately translates to the lives of American citizens, including some of the most vulnerable who depend on government social programs to which they enjoy legal, political, and moral entitlement, is irrelevant. Hatred of government is a disease with them. They loathe common purpose and project, especially when channeled through the state. Their hatred of government, it seems to me, is tantamount to hatred of country." contemporarycondition.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-do-republicans-hate-america.html
