Why does it feel so right to be an almost republican?

One of the communist party's objectives in the middle 1960's was to infiltrate the American education system.  If you ask me they have succeeded.  Our education system is full of socialists and communist apologists.  They try to brainwash you by making you feel inferior if you challenge their ideas.  Unfortunately, many young Americans fall for their hogwash and carry those ideas on into maturity.  Thankfully, experience drives intelligent people towards the conservative perspective.  You know what they say, "if you are not a liberal when you are young then you have no heart and if you are not a conservative when you are old then you have no brain".

People I know say they vote Republican because they want morality and fiscal responsibility.   After a while they couldn't ignore the magnitude and the cynicism of the betrayal their elected official were perpetrating.

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.

If you think republicans are evil, why would you consider becoming one? (and yes I agree with you)  Nobody ever said you have to lean completely to the left or completely to the right.  There are a lot of people sitting in the middle of the fence.  Instead of worrying about that, why not worry about your stance on the actual issues behind everything?

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...

Hey, Bubba, we don't need you or any other Republican loser to tell us how to celebrate.  It's time that you and your kind get used to the idea that you can't force your twisted idealogy on the rest of us anymore.  Get used to it; it's going to be a breath of fresh air in this country.   It's called "freedom," and we're entitled to it just like you are.

Here is an example.  Reagan was a uniter and Bush is not.  Both are Republicans.  Reagan made you feel it was great to be an American.

I myself have always wondered what would make hard working tax payers vote Republican. I thought it was common knowledge that Republicans work to benefit only the richest people in America, not the working class, which is the majority of us here. But it appears that all some people need is for some politician to say he's conservative and against abortion or gay marriage or illegal immigrants or whatever hot issue is in vogue at the time and these same hard working tax payers forget how much they may be struggling financially go and vote for him on "moral issues or family values". If you are not already rich before you vote Republican then you definitely won't become rich after you vote for them. If you have as much money as George Bush, or the likes then of course you should vote Republican because then he will be working for your interests.

At first I wasn't worried about going to Hell until I found out I had to join the Republican Party to gain admission. So now I'm living life as clean as I possibly can.

I really like rational conservatives like you. I am a democrat but I bet you and I would agree on 95% of the time and disagree maybe 5% of the time...good points..

Hey, don't feel like a failure.  It looks like your time has come, to add politics to your life.  I'm actually going to let someone else tell you about what's happening, but I had to put in my two-cents worth on an important matter.  If you are a decent, moral, responsible person, and don't want tons of your money taken out of your paycheck,then you need to vote REPUBLICAN on everything.  Believe me, everything good and right is what Republicans stand for.  Everything corrupt, and immoral is what Democrats stand for. Good Luck on your new quest!

I think one answer might be that the US Republican party-- one of the furthest right promonent political parties in the developed world-- has a very strong rhetorical advantage. The US has been convinced that the republicans are the party of morality. As a person of faith I have often been told that my left-leaning political views are abhorrant to God. The communities of faith have been convinced that they are part of conservative america and are afraid to step out of line. \nIt may also be the strong emphasis on Security in our post 9-11 world. to stay secure we often forfit many of our political powers to a stronger government, short-sightedly\n\nhope this adds some insight :)

Because there's something about being responsible, being moral, and being right all the time that just feels soooo good.
