Most conservatives seem to stick to much more destructive issues, like trying to pass laws telling other people if they can or cannot use birth control, what doctors and patients must discuss, and controlling womens vaginas and uteruses.
Oh, yeah - and trying to tell people who their sexual partners can and cannot be, and what sex acts are legal and not. Oh: and what religion one can practice freely in this country.
And the "welfare queen" catch phrase invented out of blue sky by Ronald Reagan was proven false when he said it, and 1990's welfare reform eliminated the possibility.
Please - never, ever try to make the proven false, "liberals use government to control you" argument, when we have 60 years of conservatives doing it or trying to do much, much worse: aggressively trying to take away other American's personal liberty and freedom.
There is one party whose purpose, if they are elected this fall, is to immediately privatize for profit every penny they can ooze out of what's left (education, health care, retirement), give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest, and end any remaining middle class in this country by stealing every last penny they can.
Wages (earning power) for those earning less than $250,000 a year haven't changed in my lifetime. The ruling class have been very successful, and are going in for the kill to make this country a complete plutocracy.
They use hot button social issues to get your vote and enable their doing that, while pointing at those who oppose them and scream they are stealing your tax dollars to distract you - while they have a hand in your pocket privatizing and taking every last thing this country does for it's citizens. You and your class have gotten nothing from them over the past 60 years - you've only lost wages, and retirement income, and social safety nets. And you're insistent upon handing over your last freedoms and dimes to them.
