The Republican Party

[Nash]

I wanna know what you think about it.

This is a troll, I guess. But I'm interested.

Is it still the same party that your dad voted for? Or does that even matter?

Do you like the state it's in? Do you like what it professes? Do you like what it actually does? Do you like where it's going?

I'll say straight out that I cannot comprehend the phenomenon. Shocking! And I won't change my mind based on what you say - so forget about that.

But I'd like to hear your best defense of it, because I find it so utterly beneath contempt, and lacking of any redeeming value whatsoever, that I strain at the notion that good men can knowingly leash themselves to the mast of a ship gone so astray.

To the one-liners, I simply say: "Hah hah."

To the rest of you, I value your insight.

Because I don't get it.

(and folks - lets be civil here, okay?)

Here's a one liner...

Both major parties are not the parties our grandfathers voted for.

[Nash]

Holden - you are a riddle to me.

Don't stop, because I treasure you for it.

[Nash]

Erhm, while we're here...

Care to take a stance on the Republican party... without using relativism.... just your take on them?

A foreigners view:

The democrats have all the best lines; but seldom deliver; and often out right lie.

The Republicans policy is often repugnant; but at least they're "straight"; in as much as you know what you're voting for; they do thier best to deliver and their agenda is rarely as hidden as the Democrats.

If you think; then you vote democrat. If you think deeply; then you vote Republican; on the basis that they'll screw you more; but cheat you less.

[Nash]

That's what I'm looking for. Thanks Seeker.

I think the republican party has turned into a bunch of self-righteous @#&holes who blame liberals and clinton for all the problems of the world and meanwhile they just ignore the fact that they are in charge right now.

I agree with seeker right now.

Currently...and I do stress that....the Republican party lines up with most of my ideals in their agenda.  I don't agree with them on everything.


Liberals/dems-  I cannot bring myself to associate with the party that spat on war vets returning from veitnam.   I just can't do it.  I know I know not all feel this way but the hippies of the 60's are now the liberals of today.  The anti-establishment anti-corporate nanny law making party of the left lines up with almost none of my IDEALs.

I vote right because I don't like the left.  It's pretty sad...I agree.  

I think the democratic party of the US is more in a shambles then the republicans.....they can't even agree on WHAT there message is let alone produce one.

I know this thread is about the right and not the left so I dont want to wander and start a hijack of Nash's troll but I think what I like most about the republican party is the basis of its agenda.

The laws they try to pass are mostly based on personal responsibility.  Something I think is sorely lacking in today's America.

By and large, the ideals in the party are closer to mine than the dems, but not spot on by any means. It's just choosing the lesser of 2 evils.

Realistically, the two-party system has been broken for a long time because of attitudes like this:

It's gone beyond ideals and simply become a contest of wills.

A happy medium can't be found until people stop acting like such...people.

The DNC is a pile of **** and the GOP is a pile of **** with chocolate sprinkles.

It'll take 20 years to clean up after that 8 year Clinton clusterfudge.

Besides, the Democrats have become the party of crybabies who no longer have the guts to say what they really want to do. Their primary objective is to attempt to create scandals in hope of bringing down the Republicans rather than actually doing something worth while to get anyone to vote for them. Not to mention they are so gutless and cowardly they have to hire a woman to hide behind and get her to scream four letter words about Bush.

I'm not all that enthused about the Republicans or Bush, but the alternative, AKA the Democrats, with Kerry, Dean, Gore, Clinton, Kennedy, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, and Feinstien rank as about the sorriest bunch of do nothing gutless whining limpwrists I've ever seen. The best the Democrats have to offer could never run for President because the radical far left wing goobers in control of the party pick idiots like Dean. Lieberman is the best they've got and he hasn't got a prayer. He can't get out of the primaries.

And there you have it.
Another righty blaming the dems for it all.

Hey, he said it, I just acknowledged the fact that Clinton screwed the pooch. And Gore held it for him. Or maybe Hilary held it, and Gore lead the cheers from the Democratic peanut gallery.

Oh well, the truth hurts. Live with it. Get some real candidates besides the losers you guys run, and offer a decent alternative. Of course, I guess Kerry is what you would call a decent alternative to ............................. ............................. ............................. .











Dean:rolleyes:

[Nash]

Silat... This aint about Dems. At least not here, and I don't care to hear about comparisons. Just the words regarding Republicans.
