Things you have to believe to be a Republican today

[Umberto]

Now why don't all you democrats go hug a tree, sign over your paycheck to the IRS, Abort a child to make you feel empowered, and keep waffling on the issues when it suits you.

Man that is classic. I almost choked on my Coca Cola.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THE LEFTIST VIEWS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE RABIDLY ANTI-AMERICAN????

[chicamahomico]

Carlos, it does suck that your neighbor lost his job and his family got the shaft and what not but consider the alternative. If employees get paid more than their fair market value for their labour (I seriously hope nobody doubts that unions quite handily accomplish this) it is at the expense of all others. Why should your family have to subsidize his family? I agree bad_man, unions have become way too powerful.

Union = Racketeering in a subsection of the labour market

Well, it sucks to have been an Air Traffic Controller back then like our neighbor across the street. After he lost his job he couldn't find work and ended up having to sell their house and move his family to another state. Yeah, Go Reagan!

[DADDYDBOL]

Chances are that many of you are not old enough to remember the sad, depressive state of the union when Jimmy Carter reigned over 22-25% interest rates, inflation out the gazoo, a national defeatist attitude which was reflected by Carter's "malaise" comments, giving away the Panama canal, failure to rescue American hostages held for more than a year by the fanatical Iranians, etc. etc.

President Reagan succeeded almost immediately in restoring confidence and a "can-do" attitude in the American people; the hostages were released on the day of his inauguration (could it be that his vow to free them one way or another was heard by the Ayatollah (sp); he succeeded in massive and decisive legislation during his first 100 days (dragging the kicking and screaming Dems along) including significant tax cuts that resulted in one of the biggest economic turnarounds in U.S. history; he gave new inspired leadership to our military leaders by funding a military buildup that followed Teddy Roosevelt's doctrine of "walk softly, but carry a big stick"; and, oh by the way, was almost single-handedly responsible for the capitulation and breakup of the world's big bully - the USSR - and the tearing down of the "Iron Curtain" that had existed since the end of World War II. His dogged determination in sticking to his principles, regardless of criticism from any source, gave his adversarys heartburn and his boundless enthusiasm prevailed in making our country and the world a better place.

You are blessed to be enjoying the fruits of his labor. We do not live in a perfect world where there is always a "right" way and there are never any negative consequences. So critics can always single out isolated examples where something did not work out perfectly and use that to try to justify their viewpoint. Such as the jerks who say "yeah, but he murdered thousands of people because he didn't do enough about AIDS" Such b.s.

Our nation just honored President Reagan with a week of observances that befit a great leader. Our citizens were motivated by the man's works, not just his good humor, or obvious strong moral character, but of the overall good that his efforts created for our country at a critical time in our history.

Name two good things? Ignorance of facts and history can be the only explanation for someone asking such a thing. Of course, I am not surprised to learn that it probably comes from that segment of society that knows so little about the true history of our country; such as the more than half who did not even know who our enemy was in WWII, according to a recent survey. Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito meant nothing to them; but you can bet your a*s they know the politically correct subjects being espoused by the leftist crowd.

Yeah, I guess there is an explanation why the show's listeners didn't know enough to call after all. Could it be that those who know the answers wouldn't be listening to this joke of a show to start with?

that is a great post....

back again to what i said in an earlier post, it comes down to a matter of belief. most of these points are biased to say the least, you believe in conservative ideology, so you back regan and make everything he did wonderful. btw werent those terrorists given hundreds of millions in weapons by regan and bush. oh yeah, and i am old enough to remember the carter days (though i was young), and i am obnoxiously over-educated so you can bet i know a bit about history.

[Hometown Hero]

It truely amazes me to discover that some people out there actually feel like that by casting their vote and picking sides they have accomplished something and therefore influenced the overall outcome of our government as an institution. Both parties are flawed, and even further I am well aware of the fact that many people are born into specific views on politics. "Yeah im going to vote democrat/republican because my father did, and so did his father, and ect ect." The problems that exist in our government are bigger then any political affiliation. For the moment perhaps all of us should step back and realize that we are in fact the little people, and the idea of popular sovereignty isn't quite what it used to be. We do not elect our president, electorial votes elect our president. In effect our government has told us that we are not capable of choosing our leader. If we make a choice they like or simply choose the lesser of two evils then so be it. But they reserve the right to revoke our decision be we to "ignorant" to choose our own leader. It pains me to know how very little the opinion of the people means in the long run. I understand that many of you may not agree with my views on this, and thats ok, I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

[tryingtogetbig]

Somone said "we are all more similar than different" earlier and I totally agree. We can't let the small number of differences outweigh the large number of similarities.

I choose the Republican ticket mainly because it fits my way of logic moreso than the democrats. Unfortanutely, the people the democrats get to support them are what totally turns me off from the democratic ticket. I really don't think the democrats truly do anything for these people either. Here are a few:

NAACP
ACLU
Jesse Jackson Rainbow Coalition
Dem's always try to get prisoners to vote
85% of Hispanic populaiton
greater than 50% of the dem voting population has household income less than $75k
Hillary Clinton
Ted Kennedy
75% of all Lawyers nationwide vote democrat
PETA
majority of college professors are democrat
90% of the African-American population votes democrat
...and...look at which states the dems win for presidential elections:
New York, New Jersey, California, etc.......


None of these people or groups of people are anything that I would ever consider be associated with.

I will be the first to say that the Republicans have some fuked up views as well.....but....like I said before....they fit closer to my life style than the dems.....

wow that almost sounds like you were trying to make an intelligent post, except for the fact that you singled out blacks and hispanics as reasons not to like a political party. i am hispanic and though i dont think of myself of dem or repub i do think that the repubs tend to side with biggots like yourself.

the hispanic population is not an organization, maybe you should read before you talk ****.

I did read it, he didn't clarify. The guy is not a racist, it wasn't a racist post it was a post about the organizations mentioned.

Why are you picking on my post is it because I'm white? It's because I'm white isn't it? Isn't it? You hate me because I'm white don't you? (joking)

Racism is not tolerated on this board, you misinterpreted his post.

[bitta]

all those classifycations is what brands you ppl as cattle and me as the cattle with no brand..LOL

thank you decabal, when you tell yourself you have to be one or the other your letting the two parties tell you that "your either w/ us or against us"it's like the bully in elementry school( or george w bush) imo people who support "dubya" have no points for why they are behind him, unless your in that tax bracket with there trickle down economics(which has yet to trickle down) this country is in a very bad predicament with this guy in office, the whole world hates us, the poor are getting poorer and the rich, richer. We spent almost 200 billion dollars on helping rebuild afghanastan and more on this war in Iraq,wtf why is it our business? what if one day china decides that they dont like the way are government is run and they try and invade our country killing children like the US has done in Iraq, more people are getting killed on a daily basis in Iraq today then ever before in modern history, more people are being murdered everyday then when saddam was in power , the only difference is that the ones dying now are our best friends and children. he lied about weapons of mass destruction and now people are being killed, plain and simple!

Indeed it is not. But it doesn't stop people like Bama and others from posting their bile.

[bad_man]

I just don't understand ttgb's point. Are you saying that you don't like a group because of who else likes them? So, you could like a band one day, but the next day at school you find out they are the fav band of the AV squad, so you don't like that band anymore?

Am I getting that straight?

[tryingtogetbig]

...I'm not going to explain myself very much on this...but I wasn't trying to be racist....

When individuals (black, white, hispanic, purple, whatever) vote so one-sided, it makes them a group.

In Texas, we have a major illegal immigrate problem...which consists of primarily hispanics. As a group, they have tried many times to acquire "special" treatment to their race: i.e. requiring Spanish speaking teachers because the children can't speak English, healthcare for family members that are not US citizens, etc.

It goes back to the whole issue of "I'm different...so you HAVE to change the system to accomodate me" bullshiat that I HATE.

Nothing personal against hispanic or black individuals.....like I said above...they support the Democratic party......I choose not to support their efforts....and...I don't really think the Democratic party really does anything for them anyway....oh well....

...oh yeah....regarding your rude a$$ comments towards me.....FUK OFF DIKHEAD....I get freedom of speech just like your sorry a$$ does.....

organizations like clinton and kennedy? for some reason i didnt think they were organizations. he pointed out a number of reasons that he did not want to be associated with the dems specifically pointing out hispanics and blacks. btw why dont you get off his dick. if he has a problem with my replies to his post he can defend himself.

You just crossed the line you arrogant bastard. Your chosen name on the board says it all for me, talk about ignorance. I believe that you are a racist.

[bitta]

and those organazations mentioned are up-held mainly by the liberal democrats and not usually by the moderate democrats, that is the republicans biggest thing man when they are in a discussion like this they will always point out examples of extremity. Ok then i dont like to vote republican because eric rudolph is a republican and kills abortion doctors and because of that clown on the 700 club who said that jesus told him that bush would be re-elected(pat robertson).

...no....I'm not singling out one group....I'm saying that when a political party consists of so many controversial groups together the way the democratic party does and the percentages are soooo lopsided......then it isn't right.......and I won't ever affiliate myself with such a group....

i agree 100%, but you are wrong about the dem party not doing anything for them, the dem party keeps them living in the same economic lifestyle they are living in now. it keeps them thinking they are the poor suffering people that need the goverment to assist them in living their lives because they are either too stupid or too lazy to actually improve their lives on their own. that is why the dems play up to the minoritys, without them their party would soon die, God forbid they decide to improve their lifestyle themselves....

Seriously, you really need to get over the fact that Bush WAS elected president, and no matter how bad the gutwrenching feeling is, you can't simply just change laws that have been in effect for every other presidential election, INCLUDING ALL THE ONES YOU DEMS WON! I swear if Bush happens to lose this election, I'm screaming Kerry is a cheater....no matter what, I know someone like ex democratic mayor Daly of Chicago had something to do with it, AND IT WAS RIGGED!
