- Don’t believe there are any issues about race that are valid.
- Know that if you aren't earning a lot of money, you are stupid.
- Don’t care about the church-state separation or loss of civil liberties. It doesn't affect you.
- Know that education is overrated. In fact, it's a liberal plot.
- Know that corporate welfare is more important than feeding children.
- Know that if you are for equal treatment of females, you are either a 'feminazi' or gay.
You sadly do not understand the Republican platform.

Republicans do not believe in Affirmative Action because it causes reverse discrimination against those not of that race or gender. It is Racism for those it supports and racism for those it does not support.
Republicans do not place an individual above another on the factors of race or gender. Like the founding fathers, Republicans choose someone for their merits and actions, NOT based on the outside appearance.
Looking only on the outside (race or gender or any other factor) is childish and in fact discriminatory even if you support that individual more because of that outside look.
For example if someone voted for Obama because he is African American, is this not racism?
If colleges accept an individual because of their ethnicity, not their grades or achievements, in order to fulfill a quota is this not racism? How would it make you feel if you knew the only reason you made it into that college was to be a statistic?
Republicans want success for all regardless of their skin color or gender. They understand what truly matters.
Think harder the next time you post and don't be a ninnyhammer telling pernicious lies.
While I think the basis of this post was pointless, the comment made by Silence DoGood is a good point. Many people are waiting to hear what the candidates have to say on the issues, why are both parties wasting their time with mudslinging and not answering the questions of the people? Maybe someone else can get their attention, because my methods seem to not be working.
ReplyDeleteI agree with many of Doogood's ideas. What the Democratic post is suggesting is that Republicans are not compassionate and don’t care about people. Actually, Republicans are, in many ways, more "compassionate" than Democrats. How compassionate is it to keep minorities poor and dependent on the government? How compassionate is it to create a culture of dependence? How compassionate is to reward people for not striving to reach their potential?
ReplyDeleteThe fact is, that Democrats are leading this country into a financial abyss! The national debt stands at $12 trillion now. This is $2 trillion more than a year ago. At what point are Democrats going to realize that you cannot “make” people be successful, people must be given the freedom to make something of their own lives. When it comes right down to it, Republicans may care about women or minorities more than Democrats have ever done!
I agree with pgvgunn...what's the point? Many Republicans and Democrats alike are decent people, and there will ALWAYS be anomalies within parties. Making sweeping generalizations just wastes time. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but do political parties really even matter? Especially if they enable people to act like 5-year-olds and bash approximately half of the American population?
ReplyDeleteokay... so let's make a suggestion. What do we want to candidates to talk about? how about we start with Race Bannon said. what on earth are we going to do about this out of control National Dept? any ideas?
ReplyDeleteIn response to Race Bannon, what about the $10 billion we spend EVERY MONTH in an unjustified war in Iraq? As everyone knows, the Republicans tricked the American nation into to thinking that Iraq had WMD’s. Also, a reminder that the government debt has gone up under Republican presidents more than under Democratic presidents. The only time in the last 30 years or so that the government has taken in more than they have spent was under Clinton, a Democrat!!
ReplyDeleteIn response to moldybread-destroyer, "do political parties really even matter?"
ReplyDeleteExcellent question-
Yes. They (2-party system) keep our country balanced and prevent it from going to the extremes of communism (Left) or Facism (Right). If you compare the political system to a pendulum, once you get too far to the Right or Left, the other side will then bring the government back to the middle, but it will then have momentum which causes it to go past the middle and so on.
going back to Alan, First,although the war in Iraq is a mess, we can't just pull out the funding and leave, that would be like a sign to everybody that the U.S. can't commit to anything and they can just push us around. Second, saying that the republicans "tricked" America into thinging Iraq had WMD's is a little crazy don't you think. I'm pretty sure they beleived they were there and the only way to know for sure was to check it out. And thirdly, I don't think the question is about how much dept we have and who added what to it, but on what we're going to do to fix it.
ReplyDeleteI think moldybread-destroyer was a little bit misunderstood in his statement of "do political parties really even matter". In the point that Silence Dogood made, I agree, the 2 party system is vital to our success as a nation, as long as both parties don't become corrupt. But that's a whole other debate. Moldybread-destroyer was making a point that we're focusing way too much on the party affiliation of the candidates, and not enough on the issues themselves. It's the issues and how to deal with them that separate us. Instead of becoming a party bash, this needs to become a debate about the issues. The party itself won't make a good President, it's through the President's thoughts and decisions that we form our opinion.
