I think the simple response to that phenomenon is that ignorance is bliss.

Republicans are stereotypically for the rich. conservative and more religious, older and beleive in less government. \nDemocrats are typically younger, more ideal, watch out for the little guy. Beleive in more social services.

Not all Republicans are the same, of course, but a generalization that may be useful to you, is this:\n\n   In general, Republicans have figured out by the time they reach adulthood what their values and major beliefs are, and when they begin their adult life, the quest for knowledge becomes less of a priority. This is because they know what they need to know, to advance their career, or raise a family, or whatever it is that they're doing.\n   So they appear ignorant, because they may seem incurious in new sources of knowledge. This can also make them appear narrow-minded. And the fact that they have the audacity to say, "Thank you, but I don't need your knowledge, mine works just fine," strikes many as being arrogant.

I see the good in most common people. That said, I have met many in my professional life that are arrogant and dishonest to the bone.\nMost I have known in bussiness are dishonest. All in politics are crooks. Most I have had contact with in Local, State and the Federal Government are in do nothing jobs and are in fact a waste of tax payers money. That's not gloom, that's just fact.

You know at one time I really believed that to be true until the last two elections I noticed that there were  several African Americans that were in the public eye advocating for republicans It really blew my mind that they were as stupid as the rest of America. Sorry if someone gets offended but Clinton in spite of his personal infidelities he did have America making money and not spending it. He did not lie in order to take out revenge on a country for trying to assassinate his father. Costing lives. Anyway  I believe that African Americans were originally Republicans. But they got smart and decided that they did not believe the Republicans had the little mans best interest in mind. Fat cats got fatter poor got poorer and the middle class is destined to be completely eliminated. I also observed that the African Americans that were republican were born with money or were of a higher economic standard than the average African American.

It makes them feel better about themselves.

The ones I know are among the nicest people I've ever met.  They're nice because they want to be, not because they are told they have to be, they're nice because they want to be.  To me, that's the right reason.

Now that's a no brainer. They are more christain, full of values and morals.How many red state politicians do you hear ranting and raving?

LOL!!  That's a great point, I hadn't read those statistics.  I guess it's 'cause the Lib's have made a smoke and mirror's campaign suggesting that they fight for the "working man", and since the vast majority of the population makes less then 70K per year, that's who the Dem's try to appeal to.  It makes them look good I suppose to bash people like me, who put themselves through school, worked hard, and now has a job well above the national average.  It's a snow job.  I've always thought that the major distinction between Dem's and Repubs is that Repubs believe it's the governments job to create and sustain a country where you can achieve happiness, while the Dem's of today believe its the governments job to try and provide it.  If you work towards achieving your own happiness, I think you often fall into a higher tax bracket because of your ambition and work ethic.  Good question, thanks!

Yes, they would.  And especially if he/she were queer!  Republicans and hatred go together like peas and carrots!  Hatred and love of money alone are the two major forces guiding their lives!!

Republicans have a wonderful knack for making people feel good about them, even though they are genocidal and destructive anti-moral degenerates.\n\nThe best thing about Republicans is that they are causing many people of all stripes to pull together to kick them out and save democracy.  People are fearful of the dismantling of the US Constitution, of the upcoming laws which prevent people from traveling without permission from the government, of the wiretapping of phones and computers, of the 2007 National ID card which will have infra red tracking.\n\nCitizens worry about imminent domain and the 800 brand new concentration camps that the conservative right has complained are placed around the country and up and running with staff already.  The Republicans have painted a smiley face on all of this and now it's gone to far.  Join your fellow Americans, even the Neocon's Christian Conservative Base for vigils at the polls.  Monitor what happens when you vote in the hackable, glitch-filled Republican voting machines.  Help everyone take America back.\n\n(Social Conservatives Questioning Past Support for GOP as Evidence of Large Numbers of Gay Republican Leaders Grows):\nhttp://www.proudofwhoweare.org/story8.html

Interesting question.  What is interesting is that "the powers that be" have been effective in making some people think that (all) Republicans do & think in a certain way--and that (all) Democrats do the same.  Fortunately, the truth lies closer in the middle & there is great diversity of thought among people in each party.  We are not living in a polarized political society as much as some one have "us" think.
