Does the Republican party have problems because it avoids moral issues?

Well, I did bold it for you in your post.
No they haven't had freedom very long, and folks in your camp have abused, beaten and even killed some for being homosexual. And yes, they were and in many places are still denied marrying one of their choice. How disingenuous of you.

 

No, lately it's been the voters.

It is the most recent and accurate faith. They have the latest and greatest revelation from God. Do you think he hasn't spoken to anyone for 2000 yrs?

 

It's not hard to understand. It's called making a choice to not comply, no different from not getting a drivers license because you don't want to get glasses, or not getting a license to practice dentistry because you don't want to study for the test. Tuff (*)(*)(*)(*), who cares.

 

So why should the have to comply?

See, this is why I believe that Americans value conformity over liberty and freedom. They may believe in different things, but they all think everybody has to bow down and obey them.

 

"Blacks, who vote something like 90% D are also something like 90% pro life... (OK, maybe not that high, but pretty high, definitely a majority)"

Racism ,what the Republicans and Democrats and You share.

"
another thing is that the Rs tend to ignore their base, which is CHRISTIANS "

Although Religious Ignorance ,Bronze Age thinking ,is centrally incorporated into the Backward Political structure of the Republican\Tea Party .

The social base of the Party ,is and never has been "CHRISTIAN ', as the Democrats have their fair share of God Nutters,,but of the US Capitalist Class ,as are the Democrats ,as is everything in the Political System ,Falsely described as "Democratic " ,all Elections in the USA are decided as we all Know by ,MOST MONEY WINS !

The System of Political Duopoly ,Classic Bourgeois Capitalist Government.

Republican Party=Capitalist Welfare

Democrat Party = Capitalist Welfare and the party of Slave Owners Pre 1865,

Which ever Party comes into power ,gets its Political Instruction from ,Guess WHO ,Um ,WALL STREET!

For its Government of the Rich ,for the Rich ,by the Rich ,in the Centre of World Capitalism the USA!

The Republican \Tea Party has a Problem ,because the US Working Class isn't stupid and has its own Political Party .

No. It's actually a cult.

 

Let me take it a bit slower for you. Most left wingers say the Republicans preoccupation with moral issues is the biggest reason voters are turned off by them. Do you follow?

 

Well first, I need to know what these exact moral issues are.

But the real moral issue is that liberals keep shouting conservatives down as racist almost every time a conservative expresses an opinion on anything.

THAT is what divides them.

The article does not address the actual things that divide them, so I think it is just more hyperbole and bigotry trying to disguise itself as being thoughtful, and failing.

 

I follow. What a group says is irrelevant. What matters is the votes. And lately the voters have been saying the R's preoccupation with moral issues is a problem
I can type slower if need be.

 

So what. All religions are a cult.

 

I disagree with yours and Mr. Buchanan's premise, but beyond that, the parties generally do not have to worry about their respective bases as it is the majority of the swing voters in the middle they are after. Said voters have various concerns. Take the last VA governor's race. The democrat had something along the lines of a low double digit lead over the republican with women because of the latter's anti-abortion/pro internal sonogram position yet he only won with about 4% of the vote, which means that 5% or more of the women who despised the R's position on abortion voted for him for other reasons.

 

"Thread: Does the Republican party have problems because it avoids moral issues?"

I would hope republicans are learning to stay out of peoples bedrooms, those are not moral choices the gov should be making for two grown consenting adults... we don't need a nanny government telling us what we can and can not do... same with prohibition.... I do not care if the right chooses not to partake, but stop using the government to force your choice on others

.

 

no....

That's exactly what I just said. Do you have reading comprehension issues or what?

 

Adultery, porn, recreational drugs, gambling, and prostitution should ALL be legal. While it does seem that we're slowly moving in that direction, it's nowhere quick enough. As long as everyone involved in the above activities is a consenting adult, people who are not a party to the activity (the State Legislature, amongst others) do not have a reasonable standing to object.

 

Yeah, he talked to me just 5 minutes ago. Told me "christians" and "mormons" were both full of (*)(*)(*)(*) and completely wrong. Now what?

 

YES

It is not. You said liberals, left wing. That is but 1 group of people. Sure some vote. But none of those who do vote will ever vote R, so it matters not what that group says.

write a book and get a following of people to believe you. This isn't the 1st time one had to do this. Not sure why you needed my input. God should've provided it. And no, I am not him.

 

I don't believe he has spoken to anyone - EVER. Hearing voices in your head is typically a sign of mental illness.

Amazing how bigots can twist logic to suit their needs.

 

Good Golly. Some people make some odd rambling comments at times.

 

The more the Republican Party wants to focus on social issues the more I want to vote for someone else. I'm a fiscal conservative and want the Democrats and the Republicans to leave me alone of their "moral" issues.

If either party would make an effort to live within our means and to follow the Constitution I'd be able to vote with a clear conscience.

 

Liberals resort to name calling when they can't refute the logic; thereby validating the logic in the process.

 

No. They have problems because they are:

1. Highly 'selective' about the moral issues they would address.
2. Typically intransigent and overly forceful (as it relates to imposing moral or religious beliefs associated with morality).
3. Hypocritical (many of them) in observing the very religious/moral standards they would promote with their words.
4. Those who too often represent the epitome of committing a 'wrong', to enforce a 'right'.

They don't walk-the-talk... they too often try to convince via "projection" of their own faults, rather than do what they know is morally right (as an example).

Some in every camp are like that... but the latest iteration of Republicans, are particularly grievous, conscience-seared... hypocrites. It's obvious, and it is damaging them.

 

No, not only liberals do that... conservatives do it also. (Don't lie about that.)

 

Exactly, why do you care. You are not affected in any way, shape, or form.
And NO, not wearing glasses to get a drivers license is a danger to the roads. Gays marrying is no danger to you or anyone else. Again, how disingenuous of you.

 

Yes, and you should try to stop it.

 

I wasn't responding to a conservative post, was I? (So don't lie about that.)
