Why are there so many republicans in the world, and what is their aim? (Remember, give an answer that's completely random and unrelated to that)

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

I completely relate.  I'm a Republican because the Republican party WAS the party of small government.  We now have two parties that are both for big government and third parties have almost no chance of winning.  I think there are many Americans who feel as we do, and I hope that our voices will be heard.  We have the power to vote them out, and I hope we exercise that power.

I'm a Democrat, and a christian.\n\nWhy are republicans so ignorant?

Most of these answers are simply silly. \n\nI too am a GOP'er. However, W is past GOP into the newly minted Neo-con realm. This is a group of folks dedicated to wealth building - but only their own. I voted for W both times. I voted for his dad, too. And Ronny - both times. Just so you know where I stand, as well. \n\nThe goal of this group is world control - no less. The spread of the American Empire. At all costs. While I'm not sure I have a real problem with that, I have an issue with the method. I think if they said, we're going to Iraq to take out Saddam cause we want access to the oil and we're sick of patrolling the no-fly zones and we don't like the threat to our buddies in Israel, at least we'd be told the truth. But all the crap about a threat to the US? and WMD's? It makes him look stupid and the US like morons. (make no mistake, some of that info was fed to us by AIPAC and we made no effort to debunk it, but that's another story)\nI think that the liberals are just fed up with the unilateral method of his operations. He doesn't even try to make it look like he's being inclusive. Again, the GOP is in power, probably will continue to be in power for some time and doesn't necessarily have to ask, but it looks good. Having the fact that your basically impotent rubbed in your face time and again gets old, I imagine. \nThe other thing is that while Ronnie did the exact same thing, he made it look good. W simply can't do public speaking worth a damn. He looks wooden in the worst way.

Hey thanks a lot. Its awfully nice of an enlightened liberal like you to make such a silly generalization. Not all republicans are rich, or white. No more than all democrats ar poor, or black, or gay, or whatever. We are all just people. Once we all recognize that, maybe we can put aside our petty differences, and make a real change for the better.

I think if done professionally Republicans can raise good points. If you are looking for them on here, on either side, you will be sorely mistaken. People let their emotions control the real need for solution.

You make an excellent point. The Republicans I know are naively believing that Bush is a Christian and blessed by God. They pray for him and give thanks for him. No use telling them the reality. Oh, they are quite quick to denigrate Clinton, but they look at you strange when you say that Bush has done more to globalize this country than any other president. He has plunged this country into obscene debt. He has thrown out the Bill of Rights by making the Patriot Act supersede it. He attacked Iran for better access to the oil and lied to the American public that it was to take out weapons of mass destruction. This neo fascist who is guided by his fathers men, is fully committed to a communitarian world. Don't be surprised if this man declares martial law before his term is up. He and the men behind him don't want to give up the power. They want to stay in office for the good of the country as they see the good of the country. I think that is one of the reasons the movie V for Vendetta hit a chord with the American public. Bush is a  huge failure and has brought us to the brink of a crushing depression. Personally, I cannot stand to listen to his lying lips.

Republicans. The other lot represent failed capitalists who are trying to achieve power through the only other route available to them. They convince the people that they are victims of capitalism, turn them into victim groups, then convince them that they can save them from the nasty Republicans. The dumbos believe this and then they vote Democrat. Sad, but true.

Amazing. I'm not the only one who recognizes this.\n\nThe world doesn't revolve around the Democrats and the Republicans: correct, however, there are several sects in the Democratic and Republican parties. They include, but are not limited to Moderate, Conservative, and Liberal Republicans; Moderate, Conservative and Liberal Democrats; as well as Liberal and Conservative Centrists, Independents, Anarchist, Libertarians, Reform and Green. The whole Liberal or Conservative thing is getting old.

Anytime I think, "Maybe republicans aren't stupid, they just think differently than I do," somebody posts a question like this.  Thanks for setting me straight that republicans are just stupid.\n\n\nHey retard....did you know terrorists groups have more than tripled since the start of the war?  republicans are the greatest recruiting tool terrorists have.  So thanks for that.  You took a country that had no terrorist ties and turned into terrorist central.  Keep up the good work.  While your at it, why don't you take away some more of Americans civil rights.  We are not quite a fascist state, but shrub has two more years to get there.

It's "herd mentality"- think of a herd of sheep. It's the driving force that causes people to vote Republican. The inability to think for oneself so a person just follows the crowd without questioning anything.

Republicans have a long History of sending others off to fight and die. They never do there own dirty work.\nWhat I do not understand is that if they support war then why are they not there fighting now?\nThere should be none here on Yahoo questions.

I'm a Republican... The majority of the Democrats are morally wrong, and are all for that stuff....  Its almost like a sickness... They whine and stomp their feet about our soldiers being over in Iraq, fighting for our Country, and then they whine and stomp their feet for gay rights, etc.....Does that make sense..... Scary bunch of people, huh...

Ignore that crap...  The most basic way I can answer this is to look at the words: Republican: Are trying to look out more for the over all "Republic".  Democrats: Are trying to look out more for the individual.  It's a whole lot more complicated than that, but that's the easiest way I could try to explain it.

Republicans.  Because most of them live in denial.
