Instead of getting defensive - why do you give specific problems you have with the Republican Party?

But, then again, why be reasonable?

With all due respect Norman, I've obviously come into the wrong thread to explain my discontent with the Republican Party. I'm not really in the mood to get "flamed." I've come to find that it is extremely difficult to discuss policy and issues with anyone who is on the "extremes" of anything. I'm not going to accuse anyone of that, but when I get a response like the one that I have earlier in this thread - an insulting, completely disrespectful one - I figure, why bother? Why waste my time trying to explain something to someone who has no regard for anyone else's opinion. I will never, and would never insult anyone else's intelligence. It's probably best I bow out of this thread. Hopefully I can catch up with you in a different one! :cwink:

Can I?

- Abortion. Either try to end it or stop making it the way you get people with two teeth and no money to vote for a party that wants to create a system of landed royalty. Good job milking it, though, I'm jealous.

- "Neo-Cons" Whatever that means anymore. The world is not ours for the taking. Ron Paul is the only one of you (and his kind) that makes any sense to me. If you want smaller government and therefore smaller taxes, you can't peek your nose into everything I do and every other country does, and you certainly can't grow the size of government.

- Tax and spend liberals like me want to spend what we have. Borrow and spend philosophy is not conservative philosophy, it's stupid philosophy. This is where Bill Clinton made sense to me. We need a surplus to pay down this incredible amount of debt we've got. The national debt worries me as much as anything but the disappearing bees. You can't spend more than you have.

- The economy exists to serve us. Not we it.

- The middle class. The Republican Party has adopted several stances designed (perhaps not always consciously) to end the middle class. The middle class is the most important segment of society, and if the Republicans continue to gain power (as evidenced by the relative conservatism of the two Democrats left) this place will look like a random Central American country where there is a landed gentry that runs the country and 95+% of the population is dirt poor and nearly or completely illiterate.

- A couple of things I like:
- Your organization and the way you do business. I'm jealous.
- The welfare reform Clinton signed in the 90s. He was the best Republican president ever. Besides Lincoln. And stop counting Lincoln.

Hell, I was just asking a question, I have no idea why he gave me the British equivalent of 'F___k Off'.

I don't think there's any one Democratic, Independent, or Liberal minded person I've actually insulted aside from Tesseract and he doesn't really count.:o
 
I have a history major, that's false. All you need to be is an American citizen for 14 years to be president. It works very similarly in my part of the world.

Maybe you should stick to discussing the politics of your own country, because I dont think you are as knowledgeable about US politics as you think you are.

McCain received his formal endorsement from President Bush yesterday at a White House luncheon. Kiss Of Death, Johnny Boy! Kiss Of Death!

McCain is just a milder and more open minded version of Bush. Expect basically the same thing,but i will admit this. He looks like a good President...think about it. "President McCain" it does sound good. A damn shame he isn't a Democrat.
 
President "midget" McCain, I like that better. :o
 
So I'm NOT the only one that has that opinion!

Even my own father, who's voting for him agrees. I wouldn't McCain as much as say Huckabee. I could've lived with Romney as well. Huckabee scared me because he sounded like he wanted to turn America into a full fledged theocracy which, despite being a Christian, kind of scares me.

I can't vote, as I've stated several times, but if I could I'd go for Obama. A main purpose of this election is to unite America again since the last 8 years have divided us, and I can't see as a divisive a figure as Hilary pulling off such a feat. Obama seems honest and dedicated enough to make the effort to bring us together.
 
I think whoever won Dems' nomination should paint McCain as "4 More Years of Bush" in the WH. That should alert voters on what they will get if McCain wins the election.

That will absolutely be their strategy. He's just making it easier for them to do it.

Wow how disappointing, what a puppet..........

I voted for him in the Republican primary in 2000 because Gore had it wrapped up. McCain vs. Gore would've made me think in 2000 before I voted. Now, he's just sold his soul to get to the White House. Most of them do this, but we don't have to watch it play out in front of us. :down
