Do you think the Iraq war was the fault of the Republicans?
They never found any traces of Nuclear weapons in Iraq....I think that theUS being over their was for other reasons, that we will never know the truth about,,political reaasons. The hunt for Saddam, I think, was just a diversion yo get our minds off of what was happening in our own back yards. The man was a true tyrant...but of a foreign country..was none of the US problem. We were over there looking for him and to kill him for the benefit of the rich people here in the USA. We have our own resources but not enough money in it to fill the pockets of the rich. The ricch want it all and will go to any means in order to get it. Our polititions..Dem and Rep are all about keeping the rich happy and themselves.
Why is it so wrong to be a Black Republican?
Political decisions are dependent on the individual. It is not a question of what someone has done for you 30 or 60 or even 100 years ago. What have they done for you today. Each ideology can make disparaging jokes about the other. Each party, label, etc are interchangeable with the jokes. The reality is it boils down to your priorities and where that aligns you. Certain ideas will have more significance for you and will lean you towards your direction. The reality is the majority of people are closer to the middle, with the about 30%, 15% each way, as more leaning in one direction. The important part is to be able to analyze your decision making, identify the flaws, listen to opposite side, understand their point of view, and determine if you agree or disagree. The problem becomes those who are close minded or follow in the footsteps or have the assumption. They are lemmings and will fall off the cliff with the rest of their pack. An oldie but goodie: So, I was talking to this little girl Catherine, the daughter of some friends, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there with us - and I asked Catherine - "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" Catherine replied - "I would give houses to all the homeless people." "Wow - what a worthy goal you have there, Catherine." I told her, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that, you can come over to my house and clean up all the dog poop in my back yard and I will pay you $5. Then we can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $5 to use for a new house." Catherine thought that over for a second, while her mom looked at me seething, and Catherine replied, "why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop and you can just pay him the $5?" And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
So why do the Republicans think that the economy is NOT recovering?
I just did a little math (you need to know how to understand economics, the YA Cons do not seem to understand that) and here is the result.... Week to week over the last year the DJI has averaged a .98% change--FACT If that is factored out from today to the last week of October (34 weeks on a week:week basis) the DJI grows to over 14,000 (14,219.62) I know that is probably not going to happen, but factored out at a 25% flattening rate (.74% growth) it translates to over 13,000 (13,122.10) As that might not even be possible so another flattening of 50% of the original (.49% growth) translates to 12,106.92 And even for those who think that is too steep...25% comes out to 11,168.08 So if you do not think that unemployment will come up in the next 34 weeks, just in time for the Fall elections...well that means you are betting for a reduction that flattens out the current growth of the DJI by over 75% For those of you that know your DJI history...that only happens if there is another recession, DEEPER than the last one And those of you that do know...you also know that a 1000 point gain (based on the probable 75% flattening) on the DJI roughly converts to a 1% drop in unemployment. A 1% drop (from roughly 10% current to 9% predicted) means a 10% growth in the job market...Approximately 190,000 jobs a month net gain, or approximately 1.5 million jobs by the last week of October These are real numbers calculated from data straight from the sources, so do not ask for sources...just tell me why YOU think the Republicans are betting against the economy growing? And if you assert that this is another bubble...explain the factors that you think will bring that about...or you do not know what you are talking about
Republicans what do you guys think of Mitts son Abortion Clause In Surrogate Birth Contract?
Mitt Romney has said that he upholds the regulation of the land. He does not in my view help abortion, even though it really is the regulation. study your Articles of religion: 12 We trust in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and conserving the regulation. that's what we do. And a real Republican isn't a ideal-wing conservative, yet extra center of the line on the topic matters yet leaning to the conservative area. a twin of a real Democrat isn't a left-wing liberal yet center of the line with quite extra liberal perspectives. Mitt Romney is extra conservative yet not extremely conservative, for this reason, he's extremely a Republican. and prefer he said in a unmarried of his interviews with the click, he's a guy who occurs to be Mormon who's operating for President, not a Mormon operating for president. no man or woman made the kind of huge deal out of Kennedy and the actual undeniable reality that he changed into Catholic, or Bush because he's Baptist (i trust, maximum Texans are. yet i'd nicely be incorrect.) Hillary on the different hand is extra Socialist than Democrat. She thinks that the "Robin Hood" way of taxing extremely works. i wager she ignored that day in college at the same time as they taught about Russia...OH WAIT! That hadn't happend yet! And those human beings choose someone for President who doesn't even recognize that Socialism is what destroyed the Soviet Union?
Why are Most Republicans Idiots?
Why are most Republicans idiots, you may ask? Ill give you some examples, and I ask you to give me feedback. -They get all of their information from Fox News, a conservative and biased source. -Many are racist, which is why many hate Obama -Republicans claim Obama is Muslim just so they have an argument as to why they think he shouldn't be president. There is no evidence of him being a Muslim, and it shouldn't matter if he is. It in no way affects his presidency. Saying he is Muslim is prejudiced, because many think he is Muslim just because of his color and name. -Republicans think guns are necessary. They clearly aren't and just lead to trouble. The NRA is BS. You don't need an assault rifle. There's a good chance you will never need a gun to defend yourself, and if you do you only need a pistol. You aren't defending yourself against an army, you're defending yourself against one or two guys on bath salts. There is no reason you should be able to march into your local Walmart and buy military grade weapons, or go to some gun show and get a gun with no issue. We need background checks so bad or mentally ill people can't have guns. -They let the Bible rule them. Times have changed. It's not 100 AD anymore. Wake up. -They argue that gays shouldn't marry because the Bible says they shouldn't. We aren't a Christian nation. You can't let the Bible govern. By the way, doesn't the Bible also say God loves everyone. -They're hypocrites. They say the Bible is against homosexuality. Yet, the Bible is also against eating shellfish an wearing two different fabrics at once. Come on, people. -Conservatives claim every source besides Fox is liberal. Just because the fact checker is always against Republicans doesn't mean that the fact checker is liberal. It means you're wrong. -The fact checker catches many wrongs that Republicans say. -Many of them think they're better. The fiscal cliff debate says it all. The Republicans are rich and don't want to pay taxes, so when the deal doesn't pass they're going to blame it on Obama. Oh, just for all you racist Republicans, Jesus isn't white. How can someone from Jordan be white? There's a reason why you should open your eyes to the greatness of diversity.
If we stick to the strictest definition of the word - someone who is open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values - I would rather be liberal any day.It's proven throughout history that people who like to be called CONSERVATIVE are at best hypocritesExamplesBefore Christianity, CONSERVATIVES wanted a woman caught in adultery to be stoned to death; those CONSERVATIVES who would cast the first stone were the same ones who would go to sleep with that woman. They would do it with another woman and another woman. See where I'm going. You cannot call yourself CONSERVATIVE and keep doing what you claim to be wrong.Today, CONSERVATIVES claim homosexuals are bad, unacceptable, etc but over and over again, the same pastors who scream at the top of their lungs homosexuals will go to hell are caught red handed a) soliciting sex from men b) in a relation with another man c) are secretly bi-sexual.I said it earlier and I'll say it again; I would prefer to be liberal any day than to pretend.What about those who truly are CONSERVATIVE? you might askThe answer is actually quite simple: can you point to one?Most Republicans like the label, that's all there is to it.The most recent example of such is a whooping $1.5 trillion debt Republicans in Washington (you know the CONSERVATIVES) just added to the country; they spent 8 years nagging the country about growing debt under Obama. The first opportunity they have, they do worst.Once again, I would prefer to be a liberal any day than to be hypocrites who pretend to be something/someone they're not (forgive the redundancy).
Absolutely not! As a successful, wealthy businessman, he has no lobbyists to control him. H has shown that he acts quite independently-even often form his own advisers and party.Politicians often bend with the wind and answer only to current polls or pander to special interest groups, especially to amass voting blocks, putting their own career interests and party interests above that of the country’s national interest. The politicians have created the horrors or political correctness (PC) a form of tyranny to suppress freedom of speech and ideas not popular to the governing majority or any of its component special interest sacred cows. Trump may be crude, personally unpleasant but as a “bull in a China shop” he seems the only available tool to change an elite governed establishment that has become inept, out of touch with most of America (at least the legal ones) and he is our last resort to repair a disastrous foreign policy, a nation now divided by race and class, and now desperate to protect our national security and survival against several mortal enemies.
Republicans are not good people?
Prove these statements wrong. If you think it is untrue then prove it. Why do people always forget that... Republicans support government grants to faith-based and private charitable organizations. They opposes universal health care. They oppose labor unions.. They oppose increasing the minimum wage. They have supported various bills to strip some or all federal courts of the ability to hear certain types of cases. These have included removing federal review of the recognition of same-sex marriage, the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance,, and the rights of detainees in Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court overruled the last of these limitations in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. Republicans support increased oil drilling in protected areas such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. They favor faith-based initiatives. They are against affirmative action for women and minorities.. They favor capital punishment.. They oppose laws regulating guns. They have denounced the public school system and the teachers' unions. They opposed the creation of the United States Department of Education when it was created in 1979. They have supported prayer in public schools They have backed the teaching of intelligent design in science classes. They are pro-life and oppose abortion on religious or moral grounds. They oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research because it involves the destruction of human embryos, while arguing for applying research money into adult stem cell or amniotic stem cell research. President Bush, who said the research "crossed a moral boundary" They supported a Federal Marriage Amendment to the United States Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. They opposed government recognition of same-sex unions. They have opposed LGBT people serving openly in the military. They opposed Woodrow Wilson's intervention in World War I and his attempt to create the League of Nations. They opposed the interv
Republicans, do you vote based on your faith?
No I'm a Republican and I've maybe been to church a handful of times my whole life. I'm not saying that's good, but it is what it is. I vote Republican, because of stance on issues. Security, taxes, smaller government, less programs that I have to pay for. I don't want the government telling me what to do with my money. I want to find my own Health Insurance and not have to ask the government if I can see a doctor. I want government out of it as much as possible. I believe that there should be limits on abortion. Obama voting to keep partial birth abortion legal appalls me. How could anyone not prosecute some one if they delivered a child and drilled a hole in the back of its neck to kill it. How could that possibly be legal? That is insanity! I could go on, but that's why. Nothing to do with religion.
