Portrait of a catwe need to think about puting the republicans back in office.
I just got so mad one of the speakers at the republican convention just made the statement that he is not a republican because he is rich but he is rich because he isn't sitting around wait for the govement to take care of him. Who the hell is he I never sat around and waited for the goverment to take care of me and Thank God I didn't because they did a really bad job. This is the way they think we don't need them in office. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE WE NEED HELP FOR ALL OF AMERICA SORRY That statement just made me so mad had to put it somewhere.

How right you are cookie! Too bad for the (lower) middle cl****that the uppercl****government officials ignore this! So how can I vote for any official who doesn't know what it is like to be "me"? I would vote for one of my peers to be in office because they know what it is like to have to fight to live each day...
You are so correct, the rich can't handle what they never had, so how can they direct my life? I thank God I was born the way I was also.

People , that are rich do think about not having ,because they alway had.
When it come the point and money run out for the rich, they are lose and confused and they committed suicide because they cannot handle it . We are poor and we can handle it . I would much rather be born poor than rich any day. Rich do not handle money ,they do not handle any thing ,they pay other to handle watever maybe the case. IF the gov"t had to take care of them they would die because they are use to having things at their fingertips. True as it may be it is some out there have never work a day in their whole life and this is seriously what they do ,they look for a way to work the system in their favor, and believe me I know a few of them to. But I will be willing to bet , there more people in the systems that really don"t need it than it is people that really need it .

I aspect that the only ones that would not get mad at that statement is the ones that are rich. I started working at 14 years old and worked hard all of my life, sometimes working two jobs just to make ends meet. At 40 my health was so bad that the doctors told me to quit and put in for my disablity but I didn`t want to have to live off of the government at that young age. I had big plans for the day I could retire and if I admitted how sick I was I wouldn`t be able to do them. I worked for two more years and almost died. I realized that if I had any chance at all of living long enough to raise my daughter I had to do what the doctors told me to. It is so hard living on that fixed income but I am thankful for it. However if I could have I would still be working and looking forward to them dreams that will forever now remain just that,, dreams. These people need to understand that what they take for granted today could all be gone tomorrow.....Becky

Thank you spoodabus. My mother would say remember the same people you meet on the way up that latter are the same people you meet on the way down. So be careful how you treat people because you never now who you may need to help you get throuh the next day. I just need to vent about the statement. I just blow my mine. To think that some people will see nothing wrong with this statement. I did
Have a Blessed day.

Wouldn't it be funny to see how many people are walking around on one foot, because the other is stuck in their mouths? I work hard without depending on the government. They look at the rich and they look at the poor. They never seem to look at the folks inbetween. We are hard workers who take care of our families and homes without a handout. Some people need the help, I'm not mad at that. Some people need to think that they can fall from the top to the bottom in no time. Especially how this government is being ran.
