It is hard to get a conservatives who is taught to do as they are told and to stand by their father figure regardless of ones actions. The other reason is fear for their career. You have to point out that these republicans today in the White House are not the good old boy republicans like Eisenhower who had a slogan, 'Vote for Peace", "Vote for Eisenhower". That is all you can do, point out that these are not real republicans.

Neocons have done a number on the Republican party, especially with all their hate and dislike of anyone other than themselves! They are really Fascist and should start their own party, though I think Bush is a Fascist as well!

Yes, it does bother me.  It makes me think they don't keep up with current events, just spew whatever talking point sounds best.\nJust because republicans don't agree with many of the ideas doesn't mean they should accuse democrats of not having them.  That's just dishonest.

Republicans are stupid. Well let me modify that statement. The republican leaders are brilliant. They, by hook or by crook (more crook than hook) found a way to get in power and change things to their advantage. But the republican voter is an ass. I read somewhere, middle class voting republican is like turkeys voting for thanksgiving. These misborn misfits have little education, base all their decisions on religion, misquote the bible and pretend they are superior beings.\nSuperior my foot.\nBeing stupid they don't understand logic. To them logic is what someone in authority tells them. If you confront them with true logic, they get confused and resort to name calling to hide their stupidity. And the republican leaders do an awesome job keeping these poor idiots in the dark forever. No science education, teach them religion, fill their mind with foolish ideas, burden them with children, take away their money...\n\nI mean how can you argue with a shithead who thinks the world was created in 6 days some 6000 years ago!!??!

Very well put! They just can't get past partisan politics. Nothing is good if it was done by a Republican I guess...yes it is very sad!

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

American voters are like lambs being led to slaughter. They don't have a clue as to what's going on. The 'Republicrats' have a stranglehold on our political process, which they control - and we Americans continue to allow this corrupt behavior to go on without challenge or significant change.         -RKO-

Look at the truth demovrats are just stupid and they use racism and putting down there opponent to move forward whereas republicans just try to do good.  The democrats are messing up this country really bad.  we are headed on a downward spiral that ends at france.  (france = Diet Communism)\n\n-zak

Hate is a strong world but I'll tell you why I greatly dislike Republicans.  They are hypocrites.  They say one thing and do the exact opposite. Can we say big government and zooming out of control debt. They say they're pro-life but are not.  They may be anti-abortion but they are not pro life.  They support the death penalty, wars, and uninsured poor Americans that have all kind of medical problems that lead to death because they can't secure the proper medical help.  They really don't believe much in family values either.  If Jesus Christ came back and preach the "Sermon on the Mount" again (The Beatitudes) the Republicans would have him crucified again.  They don't believe in just wages for hard work.  The Bible has over 5,000 verses about the poor and poverty and how people should help when they can.  Jesus Christ never once mentions homosexuality or abortion, but he sure did talk about caring for the poor.  Republicans care about the rich, not doing what Jesus preached.  Republicans are all going to try to take their money with them when they die.  Let's cut taxes for the wealthy and then cut programs to help the poor because the government doesn't have the money.  That's the Republican credo.  These are just a few of the reasons I strongly dislike Republicans.

Republicans disgust me. They are liars and manipulators. Dividers. Fear mongers. Smiling when they talk about war and grinning when they tell their lies and distort their record. Trying to impose their hateful morals on the rest of the world, they're nothing but the Taliban reborn. Have you seen their platform? Have you listened to their speeches? These warmongers?

AMEN!!! Thats their problem they have absolutely NO plans at all! Thats all they do is bash republicans they need to shut up and start talking about what the hell they are going to do. Bashing republicans isnt what people want to hear they can do that themselves they need to hear plans of action of what they are going to do to make this country better and what they are going to do about the situation in Iraq.

Republicans are brainwashed, impulsive, and improvident and always have been. Republicans are the little political babies and democrats now need to walk them by the hand and fix all of the domestic and foreign republican MESSES!

I'm not a republican.  Every day I consider myself more of an independent.  Republicans do not have the corner on blindness.  Labelling is not helping anyone.  My guess is that many republicans truly wanted to improve the lot in life for many in the middle east and elsewhere.  They were frustrated and wanted to confront murderous fanaticism.  They, like many of the majority, were misguided and not well enough versed in history to understand what we were getting into.  The real question is how do we make something decent come out of this horrible situation?  Education,  focus, open discussion, sheer will and avoiding cynicism (like we're doing now).  Merry Christmas!

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.

Because they are hypocritical.  They supposedly believe in states rights except when it doesn't suit their conquest of the political structure of America.  They'll fly this subject around to solidify their base, the uneducated conservative, evangelical, redneck so they vote for them, then do nothing about it until they bring it up again in the 2008 election..   Their base is played for fools every two years on God, guns, and gays, and they still don't realize they're being played for fools.  The abortion issue is another one.  What have the Republicans done about any of these topics except bring them up every two years to rally the ignorant base?

The Republicans in this country are way too extreme (part-time Christians, homophobic, xenophobic, war-loving, and way too out of touch with what people need).\n\nThe Democrats are too spineless and without character.  \n\nIt is too hard to say.  Unless one of the other parties comes up with a honest, problem-solving, hard-working (not vacationing whenever something goes wrong like our current knucklehead), financially responsible, down-to-earth candidate who looks toward the future (focuses on global warming, our ties with other nations, fixing the Social Security issues, eliminating our debt to other countries, and including funding to health causes), then I won't be voting (I have voted in every election since I was 18 and am so disgusted with the choices).
