They keep sending money and keep reelecting people who NEVER FUCKING LISTEN. I love how people who are for abortion, for gay marriage, for amnesty, etc tell people who aren't how they have to be... But Republicans are not sticking to their principles and come off hypocritical when it comes to limited government. neither party wants limited gov't....that ship has sailed. |

I'm a libertarian leaning conservative. I'm fine with marijuana legalization. I feel alcohol is far more dangerous. I'm also fine with gay unions, just don't call them marriage. Marriage started as a religious term, was co-opted as a legal term, and now is used interchangeably between the two. It's not. Marriage (religion) = taking a vow in the customs/rules of your religion. Marriage (legal) = partnership agreement / contract. Split those usages up, and I'm 100% fine with gay unions, and those unions having the same LEGAL rights as anyone else.
The GOP, OTOH, can FOAD as far as I'm concerned. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
what was wrong with the past that they shouldn't be marching there The key is to march back to Conservatism, but market it as a brand new concept. That's what the Left did with the old concept of Socialism, they just call it Progressive, and by definition it becomes new and original to easily duped young people. The issue is, right now young people are entirely too comfortable with other people determining their fates. So the strategy here becomes quite difficult... how do you market the concepts of Conservatism and individuality to headstrong, semi intelligent millennials who have been mollycoddled their entire lives and told they're being fiercely independent? I'm working on it. |

And 100% of democrats are happy that republicans are allowing themselves to buy the lie that these issues are important in comparison to small government and the free market. While I agree social issues are of low importance compared to other issues, young adults put a high priority on them. Pop culture entertainment consistently hammers it into them at every turn. So unless the republicans start heavily investing in media, they will consistently lose the youth vote. |

The worst things are the token R issues Abortion should be a states rights issue. Same as MJ, Same as the definition of legal marriage. The issue of the 2A has the Republicans holding a abysmal record and only being truly effective at the state and local level.
The Federal government is too big. It must be reigned in by at least 75%. States need to keep more of their own money to fix their own problems and poor states need to step up their game. Republicans at every level need to work towards righting the defects instead of perpetuating problems. I know none of this will happen. That's why I have stocked up on lawn chairs, sunscreen, sunglasses, beer and will be here to watch it all burn :) |

When the republicans had control last time, they grew government and spent their way just like any fucking democrat would have. When McCain ran, they wanted to give us mother fucking McCainCare! Remember that shit? We were getting fucked with some shitty health insurance crap either way. But, McCain was going to tax employer provided plans to fund his shit.
Conservative party my fucking ass! Maybe religiously conservative, but not fiscally and fuck those with pot needles. Their base is dying off, their views have made me a life long republican voter one who now hates both parties equally. What's another fucking rino in the office going to do for me? Lower taxes? No. Smaller gov? No. Fix the damn tax codes, flat tax? No. All I'll get is a pro 2nd amendment democrat light if I'm even that lucky. Whether you like it or not the religious right wing voter is a dying breed. Americans want morality demanding fucks out of their houses and lives. But, go ahead call me a DU poster. The Republican Party is going to die the fuck off over time. I just hope it's replaced by a non religious, truly fiscally conservative platform. |

GOP needs to change or die. A lot of people prefer death, apparently. The GOP cart is too firmly hitched to the evangelical horse to enact the reforms it needs in time to save its brand. Combine its ideological tunnel vision with the geography of the electoral college and it's virtually certain that that there will never be another republican president, barring some dramatic unforeseen "black swan" event.
These same issues were brought up last election cycle. "It's too early!" people here shouted. "Doom and gloom! Defeatist! The polls are rigged!" It played out exactly as the pessimists said it would. The less-than-ideal Romney was the candidate and the polls were dead-on. |

I don't know what you people fail to be able to comprehend about a LARGE segment of Republican voters being Evangelical Christians. I mean how exactly do you think the Republicans were able to turn the South from blue to red?
Do you have ANY idea how many volunteers are Evangelical Christians and how many Donors are Evangelical Christians. Where do you think those folks would go if the Democrats and the Republicans were on the same level field regarding social issues? Would Christians who believe they are their brothers keepers stay with Republicans who believe every man for himself is a better benefit to society? You make the Republicans stand on the same pro-choice, pro-marijuana , pro-homosexual platform as Democrats and you'll see the power evaporate into a permanent minority. Remember the whole Chick-Fil-A deal? Remember how many people turned out including Blacks to support Chick-Fil-A. How many young hipsters showed up to protest them? We NEED the Christians. If you don't get that you have no understanding of politics. |

Please explain the mid terms Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
but but but but thats not what the party is all about! Adapt or die. The last 12 years Rs have chosen die. Please explain the mid terms The election where less people vote and there tends to be a larger % of R turnout? Or the presidential election where the likes of Obama has spanked the GOP twice? |

Speaking just for the presidential election and not the mid terms here. I live in Georgia. By the time I can vote in the Republican primaries, the republican candidate has pretty much already been chosen by liberal fuck states. Thus why we get stuck with mother fucking rinos every damn year. And when you place a rino fuck in the ballot, people don't go out and vote because there is no damn passion. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The people seem to vote for their republican state reps but the goo can't seem to put in a potus candidate that appeals to the majority. They should have put in RP like the delegates wanted. Stuff like that. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't know what you people fail to be able to comprehend about a LARGE segment of Republican voters being Evangelical Christians. I mean how exactly do you think the Republicans were able to turn the South from blue to red? Do you have ANY idea how many volunteers are Evangelical Christians and how many Donors are Evangelical Christians. Where do you think those folks would go if the Democrats and the Republicans were on the same level field regarding social issues? Would Christians who believe they are their brothers keepers stay with Republicans who believe every man for himself is a better benefit to society? You make the Republicans stand on the same pro-choice, pro-marijuana , pro-homosexual platform as Democrats and you'll see the power evaporate into a permanent minority. Remember the whole Chick-Fil-A deal? Remember how many people turned out including Blacks to support Chick-Fil-A. How many young hipsters showed up to protest them? We NEED the Christians. If you don't get that you have no understanding of politics. The poll doesn't make any breakout of Christians versus non-Christians. Therefore, that routine might have worked in the past but it appears to be a major loser for the future. |
