Why vote Republican?

Not necessarily. If we have a car and I want to use it as a car but you want to use it as a hot tub we can't come to an agreement as it can't be two things at once. Government cannot simultaneously be a small system there to provide infrastructure and deal with foreign affairs yet also be a large, overbearing entity trying to balance out everyone's life whether they like it or not. I also don't see how compromise would help in our current predicament being that it would simply result in more debt and more attacks on our rights, as it what usually happens when the government goes bi-partisan (Patriot Act, NDAA, TSA, DHS, GWOT, bailouts, etc).

 

Since I voted Bush the second time I vowed never again to vote lesser of 2 evils. I will vote on principle and hope the GOP and democrats make people so mad they start voting third party and take away the monopoly.

No matter who gets elected I am not responsible because I vote third party

 

Simple minded, you mean?

Here is another way to look at it:

 

Over 8% unemployment for the longest sustained time in the history of this country since the great depression. 16+% underemployment (stimulus jobs), $4+ trillion dollars in new debt in less than 3 years, home foreclosures continuing unabated by any Obama plan, gasoline heading toward $5 a gallon driving up prices of all consumer goods, food prices hitting the stratosphere and GDP growth below 2% which means we're losing ground.

That's a very BIG one!

 

Thinking the Republicans would or could change any of that = rube.

 

Obama was blamed for high gas prices by righties. Now that they're coming down, does Obama get the credit for bringing them down too? Righties???

 

We know for sure the Democrat policies have given us that. Why would anyone vote for more of that?

 

Obama has bigger challenges since he is in the inchoation left over by the Republicans. The war on Iraq has cost America a great deal the way the Vietnam war did and the economic recession has to do with the uneconomic activities done by the Bush administration through its inappropriate foreign policies, war funding and the like. Obama has to carry the onus and the recession has unpopularized him, but given a choice he is still preferable though I will not vote for any of the parties and this is my opinion from a distant and objective and impartial lens

 

Good grief....you needed a whole thread just to post that stupid idiotic poster? Why not just attach it to one of your ever so informative posts instead?

Good luck with your amazing thread....

And btw, I am so sick of being called every name in the book by you people, it's getting so absurd that your party is just becoming more and more irrelevant.

 

Well, no, we don't, for starters, and secondly, we know Republican policies are essentially the same, and have also given us that.

Again, thinking Democrats and Republicans are any different beyond the superficial soundbite is a rube falling for their carny act.

 

you think the republican elite are innocent of such faults?

 

I vote republican to keep the Supreme Court conservative leaning. That is far more important than any President.

 

Why vote Republican means kill thousands of innocent people?

The conservative ideology says that they are pro-life... well, the reality is that they are pro-life only of unborn children. They don't care a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the born children. If they are ill, and they can't cost the healthcare then they must die.

I am going to use the example of Spain, a country with higher coverture of healthcare than USA, and universal in difference of USA. Now Spain is governed by a conservative party equivalent to the Republicans, share the same ideology. Well they are sending to death many children with cronic illness, because the parents can't pay the drugs needed for them. It will be from the application of the new reform of the PP. Is it being pro-life? Condemning people to the unstable charity?

The state is responsible of keeping the security of the people, that also includes their health, their education.... That is conservatism, making that the life of millions of people be a nightmare.

 

What did he do to bring them down? Stop permits? Stop keystone?

 

One reason to vote Republican this time is to signal the business community, you know, the community that creates jobs, that an anti business administration has left town.

Al Armendariz's 'Crucify' Slip Reveals EPA's True Nature

Yeah, the Admin made him resign for telling the truth. Can't have that during a campaign.

 

Yes, there are. Here are 4:

Because they are more loving, overall. Even though Dems make a show of being sympathetic, look at how they treat Conservative blacks or Conservative women or Conservative any-minority.

Because they lie less.

Because their plans are not based on the fear that they won't get what they need.

Because they are more God-conscious.

The last one is the primary reason.

 

Not innocent, less guilty.

 

because people are ignorant saps who believe anything told to them? the Medea is for sale it is rented out only for elections though so rep and dem can com peat along with any third party that wants to shake things up, happy hunting until then.

 

You vote Republican if you believe that placing your son on an altar and taking up a knife to stab him,is a sign of loyalty to God, or that any God would call upon you do such a horrible thing.

You vote Republican, if you interpret Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to mean "only the strong are worthy of surviving"

You vote Republican, if you like the form of capitalism which is predatory and disproportionally rewards 10% of population with 10 Trillion of GDP, while expecting the other 90% of population sharing the remaining 5 Trillion of GDP to pay 2/3rds of the Federal Budget, or 2.5 Trillion which is 50% of their gross, while the rich 10% pay only 1 Trillion which is only 10% of their gross.

You vote Republican if you think women who use contraceptives are sluts or believe that Rush Limbaugh speaks for Conservatism.

You vote Republican if you think Sean Hannidy is a patriot and a great American and speaks the truth, and is the voice of Conservatism.

You vote Republican if you believe Adam and Eve were white and were the first humans on earth.

You vote Republican, to please your Conservative rich father who would disinherit you if you voted for a liberal.

You vote Republican to please your ignorant Conservative white racist father who indoctrinated you in white supremacy.

You vote Republican to please your far right Zionist father who views all liberals, all other Jews, and all other semitic peoples in the Middle East as people in the way of YahWeh plan for a greater Israel, and by nuking them if necessary to achieve such.

 

Silly Republicans

 

How are they more loving? They consistently cheer on violence. Look at any thread regarding OWS or the police beating someone.

How do they lie less? The Democrats tell you they're for big government, they tell you that they will screw you over. The Republicans preach small, fiscally sound government then spend money like a mad man while expanding government power.

How are their plans not based on fear? They use the same boogymen the Democrats do (Terrorists, drugs, pedos on the net, etc).

As for the last one how the hell does someone believing in a fantasy make them better? I fail to see any benefit and in fact believe the religious are more likely to act irrationally, much like Perry telling the people of Texas to pray for rain rather than attempt a real solution. I prefer rational people based in reality to people drunk on a fantasy.

 

Why vote at all? It's not like the people have a voice.

 

And you seem to think that all "Rich" people are selfish pigs, which is just as dangerous as what you have described above. I'll grant that there are some who are trust-fund babies, and they tend to be more or less selfish pigs, but they didn't get rich just because they were born rich. Apple and Windows started out as two guys in their garage playing around trying to get better computers. The poor, sure they're poor, but they don't "need" GOVERNMENT HAND OUTS (Social programs) to survive. What they need is either A) Work Ethics, or B) WILLING HAND OUTS (Charities). That's all they need in the way of help. I'll grant that some of them come from bad neighborhoods, but that doesn't mean that they can use that has an excuse to fail. If anything, it should be an excuse for them to succeed in their lives. Programs like "Obama"Care should be a choice, without a fine. You would be surprised how many people would be willing to opt into the program willingly. As for Darwinism being the Republican's main view, I'll point out that Karl Marx (the "great" collectivist leader) was also a Darwinist, who in fact used Darwinism to fuel his arguments for collectivism. Does this mean I disagree with that opinion? No, I don't. But I believe that there is more than one definition of strength. There is toughness, there is intelligence, there is speed, and so many more valuable traits. If you are physically strong, you cannot do much in our world if you do lack the intelligence or will to apply yourself. That's about all I have to say for now.

 

Voting is the 'perfect' voice and it never was. Even so, can YOU show/prove that we should not participate in voting.

Frankly, I'm tired of the abject negativity of many; it is as if they don't want to WORK at making things better. Even so, I am certain that it will take work correct and improve all that needs to be.
