Why are there too many  Republican in US?

Because they're breeding faster than Democrats. Partially because so many are religious conservatives and are against abortion, but mostly because they're too dumb to figure out how condoms work.

Actually, believe it or not, there are a few black Republicans out there. I don't understand why they would vote Republican, because it's certainly not in their best interests. I originally come from a small town in Arkansas, and a young black woman from my hometown actually made a speech at the 2004 Republican Convention. When she was asked why she supported Bush, she basically said something along the lines of his being real and upfront. First of all, it seems that she has the wrong impression of Bush. Second of all, she failed to provide any compelling arguments for supporting him, so it makes me wonder if she really knows anything about the Republican Party platform.\n\nThis is really making me scratch my head!

Not as long as the Democrats and Republicans run the show. There are some decent politicians among them (e.g. Ron Paul, R-Texas) but there are too many bad apples. Americans need to wake up, stop settling for "the lesser of two evils" (whichever party they deem that to be) and vote instead for a Constitutionalist or Libertarian candidate.

Just Republicans taking things too far AGAIN.\n\nActually, Republicans are sort of like Islamic Extremists in a way; always pointing the finger at stuff that doesn't really matter at all.\n\nThey were just looking for a Democrat to blame for anything, because their entire party is exploding with controversy.

Americans have multiple choices in everything from cars to cucumbers. The only place where we have no real choice is in the voting booth. That's because the Republican and Democrat parties have had a corrupt stranglehold on our political system for over 150 years. The 'Republicrats' decide who the candidates will be, and shake things up just enough to make people believe they actually had something to do with it.\nIt's time for new, fresh independent political parties dedicated to the people to destroy the 'Republicrats'. It's time for a second American Revolution.\nAmericans don't vote because they prefer not to vote for the lesser of two evils. 'Republicrats' deliberately make the process difficult, cumbersome and inconvenient because the fewer people that vote gives them a better chance at getting re-elected. The whole system is rigged.         -RKO-

I don't think that it's just Republicans that have led us down this path. It's both parties fault. Both parties fight with one another, dividing the country just so they can say they are right. I have conservative leanings but I am tired of hearing the Republican b/s. I am also tired of hearing Democrat b/s too. Both sides are taking away my country, my liberties and freedoms everyday! It's so bad watching or hearing the constant banter, I almost get to the point where I am physically sick to my stomach. In the next election, I am not voting for Democrat or Republican. I am voting independent. America needs a third party to help balance the powers that be.

Because Republicans have so well positioned themselves using religion.  People look for guidence through religion and questioning your own religion to the faithfull would be like questioning God.  That's great when its your local pasteur saying they need more volunteers for the soup kitchen, but deadly when its used to lead a nation into war.\n\nThis was the whole reason our country seperated church and state for the first 200 years.

1.  Because most americans really ARE either a Dem or a Rep.\n\n2.  most countries end up falling into a two party system.  It's certainly better than a one party system, and with too many parties, they end up having to form coalitions to create a majority.  So- basically a two party system kinda' works.  Ya' can't give people too many choices.

Republicans, they are much more of a threat to our way of life. Muslim extremists can be dealt with, American extremism is far more insidious.

Because they want to live simple. Too many political parties can weaken the current governments and create the political mayhem and disasters.

because they're scared.  Their own party has tried to scare the pants out of people to get votes and they succeeded...for a while anway.  Until about a couple weeks ago when dems took control of the house and senate.  Next, the presidency!!  I'm conservative but I am also a dem.  In fact there are a lot of people like me who don't necessarily agree with republicans but aren't godless liberals like republicans say we are.

There are as many good republicans out there as there are "good democrats". If no democrats are good in your eyes, maybe no republicans are good in a democrat's eyes.\nAnd the democrats aren't always the ones pointing fingers. There could easily be a case for the republicans doing that.\n\nSpeaking of childish, isn't it kind of childish to threaten to move if things don't go just how you wanted them to?

The republican party is looking for issues that can carry them in the upcoming elections.\n\nIn 2000-2004, they struck a chord with gay marriages, and war on terrorism. But now, these issues are either non-issue, or infact, a drag on republican party - especially war on iraq.\n\nIn order to hold on to conservative, or near conservative vote bank, the next topic of interest is immigration. The fact is, illegal immigration and also legal immigration helps another bastion of republicans - industrialists, who want cheap labor.\n\nBut there are only so many rich industrialists, to a large population of white conservatives. Also, the appeal of immigration is also for many blacks/ hispanics, who are now naturalized, and dont want others like them to come in, and take away their jobs.\n\nThus, immigration is a good wedge point for republicans - get back the white conservatives, who may be drifting away becuase of Iraq, and also, get new voters - poorer blacks/ hispanics, who dont want more immigrants to come in.\n\nTherefore, suddenly every republican, and FOX news is talking about that immigration issue, while thousands continue to die in Iraq war, we continue to pollute the environment, we continue to run massive deficits, and the rich continue to get tax breaks, while the rest of america continues to loose essential services, and well paying jobs

We have multiple third parties in this country.  It's just that they don't have as much resources or funds as the Democrats and Republicans, so most of the time they end up being either regional parties or one-issue parties.

Voting Republican is one.

Its an age related thing. People grow more and more conservative and in line with republican beliefs as they grow older. Not to say that everyone does, but most of your democratic supporters will be younger and the old granparents will often be Republican.

Because the people currently in office aren't true Republicans. They have personal agendas and many are puppets for someone else with lots of power and/or $. Republicans believe in self government; how do you explain the no child left behind law? That's nationwide. There are so many other things I don't even know about. Also, Bush is hypocrite. He claims to be a man of God and prays and that is part of what helps him do his job. I believe Church and State should be seperate, his religious beliefs should be interfere with his decision making for the US.
