Why do Republicans act so stupidly after they are elected? Are they MENTALLY RETARDED?

Okay...I'm sick of Democrats and Republicans alike dissing their opposing party. Let me clarify, if you are going to diss someone, at least have good supporting reasons to do it. Also, don't imply/say that someone is mentally retarded or stupid just because what they are doing in the office isn't what *you* would do. It's the equivalent of saying someone should *die* because they think differently than you do. \n\nI really wish people would grow up.

agreed....\n\nthe Republican led Congress had 6 long years to screw things up.  Give the Dems some time.  It's moronic to even assume anything at this point.

I don't think it was a tactic because I've never known any republican to sacrifice himself for any cause...whether it be good or evil....they are generally self serving....having said that, although I don't think it was a tactic to get the pedophile vote, I think the republicans may have just gained some new voters.

Republicans are interested in being elected which may explain why the matter is frankly want happen during these sessions. It's going to be addressed only after they are re-elected. Why they think hispainc  vote of say 15-20 million is a big factor to them yet there are still  100's of millions of other American voters as well Republicans who think more then 15-20 million hispanic voters seal  the deal they seem to feel they are assured being elected This is not going offer the results they desire and Americans are sick of getting sick about this when the idea the hispanic vote overides every other vote has more clout then any other people on earth. Call it big headness. The Republicans  and congress will find out that enough is enough when remember to vote in Nov. Lastly most Republicans are  only acting out of self interest . What a dark time in America history... REMEMBER TO VOTE

I've had a long day, so I'm just going with: Because they're f*cking morons with no grounds for impeaching Bush. And yes, they think their constituents are stupid. After all, they were the ones who put them in office. Switched parties? Hell, no. We don't want them.

I agree with your assesment! Those Republicans seem so old, and hagard looking.\n\nThe 1st step of Repiblican recovery is admitting you are one.

Is that really suprising to you? Republicans also believed it was a good idea to elect the idiot TWICE! Enough said.

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.

he is not a democrat, or at least that's all I can see that there arguments boil down to.\n\nyou know I though they were supposed to be the "smart" ones but they are acting like a 4 year old that didn't get there way so they are going to throw a temper tantrum.

thats a tough one. i still dont see how he was re-elected. maybe they are both equally stupid. bush is a dumbass and his followers just dont ever learn, so they are at least as stupid.

If you are poor and repuglican you are an idiot, you don't keep more of your money because of the repuglicans, the rich and even more so the very rich do. I for the life of me do not understand how anybody making less the 100 grand a year would vote for repuglican leadership because every time that they do they shoot themselves in the ass. They have bought the repuglican rhetoric like damn fools. The lack an understanding of basic economics. Another point I would like to make is that the repuglican party is not any more moral then the democrats. Just check and see who is under indictment at the moment to see that.

Only the Democrats who HATE Bush. Once you reach that level of passion you're no longer thinking rationally. And by implication, if you think Bush is stupid, then the men and women who volunteer for military service are just as dumb. Kerry is an ARROGANT intellectual. As if his "sh-t didn't stink too"

No, but I read a good review of it on salon.com.  \n\nTo answer your other question, most GOP voters are not that bright. Plus, no one (intelligent or not) likes to admit that they were wrong, or that they were responsible for voting a dimwitted crook into office.  In psychology, this clash between perception and fact is called "cognitive dissonance."  The only way to get rid of it (since you can't change the facts) is to change your perception.  So they choose to perceive Bush as a moral guy and that solves the mental clash.

I hate their stupidity. People who support Bush don't even KNOW they're clueless, that's how CLUELESS they are!!\nDemocrat gets MY vote once again!!

Republicans have no shame. The intelligent ones will tell you they know the election was stolen. Then they make weak excuses like "The Democrats would have done the same thing if they could have." What crap! I hope the Democrats do get the chance to steal an election and they take it. Revenge would be sweet.

Ken was the leader at the helm when the GOP blew the election.\n\nIf the GOP is smart, they go get someone with more charisma.
