Do Republicans hate black people?
I Love it. Some of you responded the exact way I knew you would. First, this is a question---not a statement. I never said I was republican, democrat or independant. My daughters are half black and half white-which is what I am. I only date black women and I am really just not attracted to white women I never said I hated anyone. Stop trying to project here. Just answer the question.
Do people actually believe that all Republicans are rich, greedy and hateful?
Of course all republicans aren't rich, but the ones that aren't stick up for the small minority that are. They go against their best interest for financial and tax reform. I've talked to plenty of republicans who don't think its right that the wealthiest people in the country only pay a 15% tax rate due to the fact that most of their income is derived from paper trading, but they always make excuses. When it comes to hate; who is against gay marriage? Homosexuals in general? Affirmative action? Gun control? Welfare? Medicaid? Social Security? Medicare?
Why does it seem like many Republicans dislike people who are different from them? Is what comes across as intolerance actually fear?
Put me down for a second verse of Marcia Peterson Buckie's observation -- it's amazing to me that there's such a willingness to chalk everything up to "the media" and Democratic strategists and so little interest in examining why your own message might render your party unlikeable.Let's see... your 2008 VP candidate (Palin) proclaimed yourselves "Real Americans(tm)", implying that anyone who disagrees with you is, by definition, something less.Your 2012 Presidential candidate (Romney) called people who disagree with you "takers" looking for a handout. No, that's not insulting at all millions of Americans who ARE working (often more than one job) but just can't make ends meet and could use a little help.You have a 2012 Presidential candidate (Santorum) who routinely compares gay sex to incest and bestiality, and you wonder why most gays don't think you have their best interests at heart.You have a guy who very vocally mulled a 2012 Presidential bid but ultimately didn't run (Trump) continue to treat the President as some nefarious "other" because of his brown skin and funny "Mooslim"-sounding name. (Never mind that as the party of states' rights, once the state of Hawai'i certified his paperwork, that should've been the end of it, right?). UNFATHOMABLE that most black people don't think you're on their side!And those aren't some lunatic fringe or "vocal minority" -- they're people who were running for the very leadership of the party.
Republicans most used reason for hating Bill Clinton...drum roll...?
Slew that was very good. Can I ask though, what about Larry Craig and that other guy who had prostitutes. Not saying its okay for anyone but why it seems the Republicans get away with without any hubbub...it just goes away?
