Am I the Only Republican that answers questons?

No, you're not the only Republican on Yahoo Answers, message boards or any other Yahoo services. But I haven't considered myself a Republican in quite a while, though. I tend to lead towards their direction on some issues(foreign policy, trasnportation, etc.), and the Democrats on others(equality for minorities). I lost my faith with the GOP in the 1990's with too much immigrant-bashing and 1930's-style isolation in the face of the Serbain genocide in the Balkans.\n\nToo often on Yahoo, I see Democrats, Liberals, Socialists, and yes even Communists, insisting that all the problems of the world are caused by America, Republicans, and/or Bush, when the facts prove otherwise. In their collective fantasy world, all Republicans are either rich CEO's who want to exploit the poor and see our foreign policy as a means of doing so, or they're uneduated poor white trash who live in trailer parks in the south, married their sisters or cousins, get all their ideas about the world from Rush Limbaugh and/or the Fox News Channel, and spend their nights in Ku Klux Klan cross-burnings. To them, Republicans only attack Michael Moore because he's fat, Saddam Hussein wasn't a sponsor of terrorism and didn't have a WMD program(except the one they think they can blame on Reagan), simply because he wasn't involved in the 9/11 attacks, and we're only attacked Iraq for oil, and/or because Bush simply wanted revenge for trying to assasinate his father, or wosre, simply because the nation is run by "brown people." They also believe that just because the news media hasn't covered our troops in Afghanistan as much, that Bush somehow forgot about going after Osama Bin Laden. In their twisted view, complaining about Clinton's sexual misconduct is worse than allowing some Middle East zealots or lingering Commie thugs to cause more bloodshed in the world. According to their party line, our troops are being killed simply because the Iraqi people are resisting the occupation(which was just as much of a lie in Indochina), not because they want to kill people for not being from THEIR dominion of Islam, or because they want to stop those who want to help the Iraqi people recover from Saddam's former oppressive regime and our bombing the country to take it down. And of course, if we don't buy their idiotic 9/11 conspiracy theories, the rest of us are all blind Bush-sheep and neo-fascist tools of PNAC(People for a New American Century) -- they REALLY love to exacerbate PNAC as some kind of threat.

I'm with you. I've been a conservative Republican for about 20 years and I have now officially terminated my support and membership with the RNC. The Republican party has done nothing for me in the past 5 years. And the Democratic Party certainly has done nothing for me EVER!\n\nI'm voting Independent in 2008.\n\nIf you are a conservative I encourage you to look into the Constitution Party. http://www.constitutionparty.com/

Not necessarily knowledge about politics in general but I have gained more insight into the personalities of people that align themselves with specific parties.\n\nFrom my insight, I have never been more proud to be Republican.

Were all Republicans 'Clinton-wackers'... answer that question, and you will find the answer to yours....

Well, I agree with what you have said. \n\nI look forward to a response from someone who considers themselves Liberal to address each of your points, not just one. Two responders never addressed any. Unfortunately that is what tends to happen most of the time when you ask them direct questions.  \n\nThis is the perfect opportunity for them to explain their viewpoints.

Why is it that Republicans give one line insulting answers and Democrats give thoughtful responses?\n\nCould it be that our president is operating with the same limited mentality?

Are you one of the 3 monkeys and a Republican one at that?\n\nSee no Republican evil, hear no Republican evil and speak no republican evil.  Gimme a break.

Because you are bound to get into an argument and you have to work with these people.  As the only Republican in an office full of Democrats, I feel like I am in a field mine.  I don't start anything, but I will give an answer if asked.

Sounds like you are NOT a republican? \nand you have not been alive long enuf to realize - - - \n\nthis political/voting/results game goes on and on - \nlike a never ending tennis match, or ping-pong table game -\nBack and forth - back and forth - \nand who really cares about what whomever 'feels'? \n\nThe "ball" in the game has no feelings - it just "IS" - \nlike the politics of the human machine - it just "IS"\n\nLive - grow - and learn. . .

Because of Republicans

I like this question because it reminds me that I *am* a nice person.  I remember answering questions a few months back that people said some really awful things to me, like that they hope I never had children, when in turn I WORK with children.  I volunteer at the Peds ward and NICU!  They would NEVER know my politics in fact, if it never came up, all these dems would higher me as the best baby sitter they ever had!!!  Then when I said that, they degraded me even further... \n\nIt's really sad that your political views shape up to be such a bad outcome of who you are.   This is the only forum I get heated in, and take a guess of *when* I get heated?  When a question is posed ALREADY demeaning Republicans, not looking for real answers, or name calling.  Then I get defensive, automatically, and I would do the same in real life.  If anyone were to come at me like they do on here, I would have no problem standing up for myself.  I certainly don't go looking for arguments and don't really discuss politics unless I'm ranting about Y! answers to my boyfriend (lol).  One of my best friends is liberal, and we can discuss things normally.   But then again, she doesn't call me names, and I don't attack her back since there is no reason for it.  YOU know?\n\nI use my real pictures of myself because I'm not afraid of who I am or what I have to say.  I am proud of my beliefs, I'm not always proud of my mouth, but the libs bring it out in me.  I should rephrase that to the libs ON HERE bring it out in me.  They are truly some really awful people, and we shouldn't judge the ones on here for some Dems in real life.  There are Republicans that start nasty things as well... but I consider myself not to be one of those and have asked some really good questions I think, but consistently get reported or thumbs down when really it has nothing to do with politics.  That just shows me what kind of people are here, you know?  not willing at all to see the other side.\n\nThis is my longest post ever, but it just reminds me that this is not my life.  Politics is not my life, I consider myself to be one of the friendliest, loveliest, sweetest people you'd probably ever meet.  Not trying to sound conceited or anything, but I really have a good head and a huge heart and if politics weren't involved, I'd love everyone :) haha.   When I was a child and a teenager, adults loved me, and now I think I have become a blessed soul because of what I stand for, and what I do in my every day life to help normal people like you and me.

Seems like you've stated a whole list of republican propaganda rather than a real question.  In essence, you're answering yourself and only want people to agree with you.  Any intelligent, thinking American knows this.  Why are you underminding us by spewing this?
