Since it was George Bush that bailed out the banks he must be talking about republicans not listening to the people. He's right republicans don't listen to the people. Every poll I've seen this year and last shows a clear majority of Americans want to raise taxes on millionaires and stop the tax breaks for oil companies. Not a single elected republican wants to do that, the republicans are clearly not listening to the people on taxation.You better start listening to the voice of the people.But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't listening. Why would you think he would be listening now? Has he ever listened to the voice of America before?
He's someone who -- well, let's just go look at the record. If you look at when it came to the -- the Wall Street bailouts, did the president of the United States listen to you when it came to bailing out the big banks?
Why? Because he thought he just knew better. He and his friends on Wall Street knew better than what was -- what was good for this country.
Every single republican presidential candidate is for the personhood amendment, making almost all popular forms of contraception illegal. Contraception is considered a right by most women and the personhood amendment even failed to pass in Mississippi. Clearly the republicans are not listening to the people on contraception.
Every single republican presidential candidate wants to eliminate Obamacare. Most Americans don't want to go back to being denied health care because of "pre-existing conditions". The republicans are not listening to the people on healthcare.
With the exception of Ron Paul all the other republican candidates want to bomb Iran. Americans do not want to bomb or invade any other countries, especially a muslim country. Clearly, the republicans are not listening to the people on foreign policy.
Most Wisconsinites didn't want Governor Scott Walker to eliminate bargaining rights for unions or to cut billions from the education budget, while giving huge tax breaks to big business. The republicans didn't listen to the people here either, and Mr. Walker is facing a recall election in a few months.
Most Ohioans didn't want Governor Kasich to strip bargaining rights from public unions. They held an initiative last month and repealed Governor Kasich's signature bill SB 5. Governor Kasich didn't listen to the people either and his popularity rating is 33%.
A very clear majority of Americans want strict financial regulations on Wall Street banks. All the republican presidential candidates want to eliminate the new financial regulations and go back to the days of no financial regulation during the Bush years. Clearly, the republicans are not listening to the American people on financial regulation.
Most Americans don't have a problem with gay marriage, but every republican presidential candidate (except Fred Karger) does. Clearly, the republicans are not listening to the American people on civil rights.
Since Rick Santorum doesn't want unions, ObamaCare, gay marriage, contraceptive use, taxes on oil companies, taxes on millionaires or any regulation of wall street maybe he ought to take his own advice and start listening to the people of America instead of trying to recreate a biblical stoneage culture in modern America because you think like Bush: "you know better".
