Are Republicans out of touch, or is the country?

Republicans are touching themselves constantly.

Polls indicate the country needs ten foot ones before it'll even consider it.






.

 

I agree. I think the Union should split and let each govern themselves accordingly.

 

What a wonderful world this could be if we could only outsource Republicans somewhere and know that they could never come back. Just think...No Boehner, no Palin, no Hannity, no Rush, no Coulter, no Fox...wow. That's enough right there to warrant a revolution to get it done.

 

:icon_pee:

Thanks for your valued input.

 

Eventually....the Republicans will DUMP the Social Cons. Not all at once or quickly....but slowly and with the attrition that comes as many of the Social Cons shuffle off this mortal coil.

 

True, isn't it? You don't like the polls...so you deny their "methodology". You come up with hypothetical ones, packed with push-polling "bait" questions. Just like Dean Chambers probably did last Fall-

"Who do you support for President? The kind, gentle, loving, patriotic Mitt Romney? Or the evil, Communist, baby-killing, Muslim Barack Obama?"

Try Rasmussen....he's about as Right as a pollster can get, and still even attempt to claim credibility. Find a poll that Scott did that shows "most Americans want the death penalty for abortions doctors" or even just "want it made illegal".

 

Well this land doesn't exactly 'belong' to the Democrats. But I think we can agree to assigning each people some place in North America.

Just think about it. Never having to worry about a Republican ever again! Govern yourself. You can have gay parades every day. You can import 4 billion africans to come have parties with you all the time. You can perform scientifc experiments on live babies. You can even get a job where your government pays you to get high on opium and sing songs to the forest. And no one there to stop you!

C'moooon you know you want it. You know you do.

 

Guys like you tried that in 1861.....had to kick their butts.

 

Long laundry list Marine but lets look at them- just to make it simpler I am going to get rid of the quotes


1)"Many Liberals want an open door policy. I don't see any other country doing that. Europe tried it and have closed them."

Immigration tends to flow with economics. This liberal is in favor of a strict border controls- I think that our failure to actually secure our borders after 9/11 are an indictment of both political parties.

2) "It would see we no longer see anything wrong in living together and having children and not being married."

This has been trending for at least 30 years. I remember way back when, there were lots of very unhappy families, then a lot of divorces and now I think there are people who don't look on marriage as favorably as they used to. Personally I think it is more important that parents be responsible and loving parents than that they get married, but most people still hope to get married.


3)" We have some that no longer believe in God and think we should wipe any mention of it off any part of government property, because it offends them."

I don't believe in God, and I do believe in separation of church and state but incidental or historical usage really doesn't bother me. I don't like to see obvious attempts to promote one religion over another now though.

4)It seems if you are against gay marriage, your a bigot. But I don't remember Liberals calling Obama a bigot when he was against gay marriage.

I don't think that anyone who is against gay marriage is a bigot- I know lots of people who just cannot accept gay marriage and I frankly think that this is an issue that will resolve itself fairly quickly- the country as a whole is becoming more comfortable with the subject.

But some of the people who are against gay marriage are bigots- some are bigots who use the issue of Gay marriage to malign homosexuals in general, and of course to imply that they are all pedophiles.

5)"It seems like many are calling for legalizing drugs. Not sure I want to have my pilot or bus driver on drugs."

I don't want my pilot or bus driver drunk either. I think our drug laws should reflect all drugs- including alcohol. I think that prohibition was a failure and I think that our drug war was a failure. I think our current anti-drunk driving campaign and no-tolerance atmosphere is the correct way to approach drug abuse- criminalize drug abuse that threatens others.

6) "Liberals seem against having some kind of ID to vote, but see no problem having an ID to get a library book, cash a check, buy beer, drive, get welfare, Social Security, etc. What's up with that?"

I have a problem with the issue of voter ID seems intended to hit poor people the most. I have no real issue with requiring government issued ID- I think our voter ID and illegal employment issue would be best addressed by issuing Federal ID's- essentially issuing passports to everyone. Make them free, make them easy to obtain if you have the proper documents- what do you think?

7) "Many Libs seem dead set against having private schools to compete with public schools, even though they know our public schools are a disgrace and kids aren't learning in many of them."

I am not against private schools- they compete with public schools in San Francisco. Bad public schools lose the students of parents who don't care about their children- the best public schools in San Francisco are in great demand and provide a fantastic education.

However if you mean 'vouchers'- well there is an issue there. The real benefit private schools have is that they don't have to accept all students. What do we do with the students private schools don't want?

"It would seem that things we felt was right for hundreds of years is now wrong and things we felt was wrong is now right. Who is really out of touch with who?"

Hmmm I never had to provide any identification to vote- and I have been voting over 30 years. I am the product of public schools. We had open border policies for most of our countries history- though at times we excluded the minority of the decade- the chinese, the Irish, etc.

Of the 7 issues you brought up half of them are issues that Conservatives want to change the historical context, and one of them- drugs- is a schizophrenic issue that we legally allow some drugs- and legally don't allow others.

Attitudes change- and Prohibition is a good example of that. I think rather than railing about all the issues that you are interested in, I prefer it when you address them one on one to debate the relevancy of the issue.

But the answer is- yes the Republicans are out of touch- and they haven't quite figured out why yet.

 

Well you guys have sort of regressed since then. I don't think this guy can really do much to stop an angry, shot gun wielding horde:



On a more serious note though: Why not? Why wouldn't you want to govern yourself without someone telling you what you can or can't do? You say you want to get rid of us, but at the sametime you want to keep us around?

I mean you kind of contradict yourself.

 

by the look of him, i'm sure he has already invented a death ray that will wipe out a shotgun carrying mob in one blast. and he probably operates it from his bedroom with a joystick.

 

Just want to point out that your statement could easily be reversed and retain legitimacy.

 

Those types aren't interested in creating weapons of death. They're more interested in how to fuel cars with pubic hair.

 

I don't like the polls? I just turned your beloved opinion polling on it's head. Other polls conducted at the same time found that the "don't know" opinion won with a plurality.


And that you think the below poll questions are equivalent shows just how full of crap you are.


q1 "do you support or oppose a SCOTUS decision that takes authority on abortion away from the states and guarantees a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion within the first trimester?"

q2 "Who do you support for President? The kind, gentle, loving, patriotic Mitt Romney? Or the evil, Communist, baby-killing, Muslim Barack Obama?


Which is quite odd, when this is the actual wording of the question in the poll, the results YOU selected:
"The Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe versus Wade decision established a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe versus Wade decision, or not?"

 

they are still crying about it today....

they are still crying about it today....

 

*shrug* Have it your way. We'll keep passing legislation that is counter active to your agendas. You want to live with us then you'll have to play by our rules too.

 

They don't call Obama a war criminal either like they did with Bush for keeping Gitmo open despite the fact that he said he was going to close it.

 

yeah, you tell yourself that as he vapourizes you. you ever been in a defense industry research facility, pal? this guy looks normal!

 

Sorry!

 

Vaporizes me with what? Rainbow colored pubic hair exhaust?

 

Conservatives are out of touch. Republican's typically are educated moderates who slightly differ from educated Democrat moderates. Conservatives are in a class of their own and don't belong in either party.

 

Ignoring this rest of this hyperbole and skipping straight to this because it just seemed too insane not be be a right wing lie.. and what a suprise.. it is!:

Another Breitbart rebranding. Lets take a look at the original article:

Most NYC High School Grads Need Remedial Help Before Entering CUNY Community Colleges
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/03...help-before-entering-cuny-community-colleges/

Look how much a little title change creates a complete BS lie. So.. they CAN read.. they just need remedial help. And its not ALL students just grads applying to Community colleges (Generally the lowest achieving students still trying to make college).

Considering the dishonesty here, I can't really take any of ther rest of your hyperbolic rant seriously.

 

Is someone proposing gun confiscation?

 

"Figure out how you plan on enforcing a law against abortion."

Taxcutter says:
Apparently the states had that figured out well enough before Roe v. Wade.

 

"Please show where gun confiscation is being planned????"

Taxcutter says:
Not paying attention, are we?

State bills were introduced in at least three states to confiscate guns. California (unsurprisingly) is already using SWAT teams to kick down doors and grab guns. There have been several threads started on this subject. Nobody bothered to deny the intent.
