If the Republicans are so against the minorities and the poor why did President Bush sign a bill to make?

Question

collage more affordable to those who can't afford it? In the Yahoo article it said that this bill has been vetoed by Congress before.

Answer 1

who said republicans are against minorities and the poor? i am against people getting everything for nothing. people's whole families getting supported by my tax dollars that i work 12 hour days to earn while they are sitting at home all day every day not working or making a life for themselves.

don't tell me it doesn't happen or that it is rare because my husband is a fireman and he sees it on a daily basis. people in government housing, the only food in their house is kool aid, rice and hot dogs. the children barely have clothes to wear but of course there is a 52 inch flat screen tv wtih a play station three and an escalade parked out front.
THAT is what i, as a republican am against.
i am for education because those minorities and poor are going to school to make a better life for themselves and i say more power to them, hopefully they won't end up with 7 kids, no food and an escalade in the drive way.

Answer 2

Well as a Republican & a Minority I think your belief is way off base. Congress has no Veto power by the way... The way Congress works is they only support bills D or R's put up. Many don't care about merits, just brownie points. The whole SCHIP fight is a classic example. All want kids to be cared for. But it's the details and who gets the credit that is the real issue. Actually solving of the problem takes a back seat to the political sound byte & some ad next year where I can say, "Congressman X voted aganist Kids." vote Lana 2008!

Answer 3

Since when are Republicans against minorities and the poor? I must have missed that somewhere. Republicans are not against minorities and the poor, quite the opposite. Republicans are all for helping people to help themselves. There's nothing wrong with a person being on welfare during a personal crisis or job loss. Republicans are against generations of families on welfare. The Democrats enable people to stay disadvantaged, the Republicans enable people to get off public assistance. As far as minorites go, there are many, many minority Republicans so I can't figure out that statement.

Answer 4

So far, in the last fifty years, there has not been a pure bill introduced for any President to sign, Democrat or Republican. They have all been bastardized with riders and attachments that are for this group or that and have nothing to do with the original bill subject. If a person disagrees with one of these riders (or a number of them) and refuses to sign the bill because of them he/she is automatically assumed to be against the main subject of the bill. THAT IS A WRONG ASSUMPTION!

Never let committees get hold of a bill ........

Answer 5

Social spending has skyrocketed under Bush.

Does that satisfy libs? They always look at the dark side.

I own an insurance agency, and I see many minorities buying homes and working hard. The Liberals are the ones who perpetuate the stereotypes instead of hailing the positive role models.

Answer 6

Throw in his attempt at school vouchers that the dems blocked.

The dems do not want the poor to go away...if the poor go away, so does the democratic party.

The reps want the poor to become wealthy because it would increase their voter base.

Answer 7

What article?

Answer 8

OH, what happened, did the student loan people make enough money already?

Answer 9

Perhaps the real problem is your strawman argument.

Answer 10

To distract those against him.
