Thank you Laci for seeing this and posting it.

For those on the right who dismiss the majority of the United States as the taker 47%, you have lost us as voters for any of your causes or candidates. You are angry about the wrong things, blame the wrong people, and fail to take responsibility for your many, epic failures, as outlined below.

I'm not sure what Barbara Phillipi meant about 'You won't take me back', but the GOP and other conservatives can be sure that you won't get back the many former conservatives who repudiate, utterly, your extremist failed agenda, values and policies.  The GOP is facing a great divide in its own ranks, those who are sane rather than suffering ideological delusions and fantasies and crazy conspiracy theories, and those who are repudiating the present positions and policies of the GOP,  not only from outside but from within.

Not to put a false gloss on it; the GOP positions on every single issue are utter shit, not the solid gold they believe their positions to be, not even gold plated shit -- just shit. Only the rich deliberately lying and exploiting lower economic strata, or the ignorant aspirant poor would invest in or embrace that shit. It is not credible, it is not viable, it is not based in fact or objective reality.
You didn’t get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on illegal war.
You didn’t get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined.
You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn’t get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.
You didn’t get mad when they didn’t catch Bin Laden.
You didn’t get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits.
You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn’t get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the 1%, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.
You didn’t get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades.
You didn’t get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance.
You didn’t get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values in the Wall Street crash.
You finally got mad when a black man was elected President, and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick… Oh, Hell No!
You’re not going to take ME back, without a fight.
