Why do some people keep saying that Republicans are inbred whites who live in trailers?
That just seems to be the trend in most of the answers I've seen. It seems like they're dying to get into class warfare, and also to make stereotypes. Please explain where this notion comes from, because being a republican I'm very uneducated and whatever else you would like to assume.
What do Republicans mean when they say, "I want my country back"? Who stole it and when?
Taking the country back has two meanings that I can see. One means "back" as in "back in time". They mean they want to take the country back to 1985 or 1955, depending on who you talk to. The ironic part of this is that they wouldn't like things in either year. The tax rates were higher for the wealthy in 1985, and MUCH higher in 1955. Also, the Republican President in 1955, Eisenhower, was against the military-industrial complex and vocally anti-war. He made some bad calls (mass Mexican deportation for just one example) but by and large, he would be considered too left-wing for modern Republicans. Can you imagine ANY of the current GOP candidates repeating Eisenhower's words, in the picture below? Yes, the 1950's were good times. If you were a white male. It wasn't so great if you were black, Catholic, Jewish, hispanic, or a woman. Xenophobia, blatant racism, sexism, and homophobia were rampant, but gosh darn it, wasn't everywhere just like Mayberry? (Spoiler: No, it wasn't.) The 50's saw some pretty great music, but I wouldn't have liked the lousy attitudes. The second meaning of "take back" is to retrieve something that they feel was taken from them. They feel that their country was "stolen" from them by blacks, gays, progressives, liberals, atheists, immigrants, and basically anyone who isn't white, Christian, and male. (The only people who could argue to take the country back are Native Americans, but that can be for another discussion some other day.) There is a misperception that the US is a Christian nation. It isn't, but that's the America they want "back", even though it never actually existed. Read about the founding fathers and what they actually said and believed. Jefferson wrote his own version of the Bible with all the miracles taken out of it. Many others were very clear that church and state should be forever separated. Religious persecution was a big thing in the 18th Century. (Maybe that's what they REALLY mean by taking America back. Back to good old fashioned persecution of non-Christians?) It's a nice catchy slogan, but it's meaning is either non-sensical ("let's return America to being the country that it never actually was") or scary ("let's take away the rights that blacks, gays, and progressives have implemented"). Either way, it's a terrible slogan.
Are some republicans right when they say that Americans are overpaid?
When would a Republican lie or make something incredibly false rumored to be true? Corporations are people so yes many "people" mostly from delaware are grossly overpaid. But the other 350 million Americans usually are underpaid.
Some Republicans have said something about each of the Nine Active Titles of the 10 Title ACA What have you heard them say on each Title?
Title V also relates to increasing healthcare Charge transparency, which Trump and Carly Furina argued that they want to have more of in healthcare. Title VI relates to increasing the healthcare workforce, and I heard Republicans say they want more Doctors in healthcare, which is what Title VI helps in doing. Title VII relates to therpais and biologics. Biologics are related to lowering Drug Costs. We often hear Republicans say we do not do enough to lower drug prices.
Why do some Republicans insist that they are 'harder workers' than Democrats, and Independents?
i work 7/12's a week. i put in 2 1/2 times more hours than 99% of americans and i'm a democrat. RAYEN STORM- YOU HAVE BEEN PITCHING THAT SAME LINE IN OVER 5 QUESTIONS,NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

RAYEN STORM- oh please. i am fully aware of politics and it clearly shows you are trying to blow smoke up our butts with some unsubstantiated claim. i live in the south and have alot of friends that are form alabama,georgia,mississippi,kentucky and they all are rednecks who are republicans and support republicans for GUNS and that is it.you try to come on here and show a youtube video and make it seem like you put someone in their place,well heres some facts for you. http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/laws_... look at the states with the highest percentages of welfare recipients. they are all red states.the facts don't lie. if you support all that rayen,then why did you support bush? he has done none of that. was it blind party loyalty? here are the search results for redneck republicans http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu... like you said the facts don't change just because you want them to. BY THE WAY RAYEN,THE LINK I REQUESTED WAS FOR THE SUPPOSED 200+BILLION PELOSI REQUESTED FOR FOOD STAMPS.YOU CAN SEARCH YOUTUBE,BUT NOT PROVIDE THE LINK FOR THAT?
When some Republicans say they didn't leave the Democratic Party, the party left them...?
Which Democratic Party are they criticizing and which are they glorifying? I think it's pretty obvious they are criticizing the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, especially of the 1960s. They left the party because of them. Who does that leave that they are glorifying??? That leaves the racist, southern, CONSERVATIVE Dixiecrats/Democrats of the past. That's who. We don't want those kind of people in our party. The Republican Party can have them. "Southern Bloc" The name given to a group of ((CONSERVATIVE)) southern Democratic Senators, and one Republican Senator (John Tower of Texas), who opposed passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The southern bloc was led by Senator Richard Russell of Georgia. http://www.congresslink.org/print_teaching_glossary.htm#Sbloc
Why do Republicans attack Democrats, saying that liberals are not true Americans?
Republicans say that deomocrats are not true Americans. I disagree. Republicans are not true americans. They claim to love America, and that they support the war in Iraq. Too bad there were no WMDs in iraq. Republicans claim that they support the war, but only a small percentage of the voters have gone to iraq. Republicans claim that they have morals, but do nothing to stop global warming, something that could kill millions. Republicans are trying to stop stem cell research, a process that could save thousands of lives. They would rather stop abortions, even though, the baby at 3 months has little feeling. How's that for true Americans? How's that for morals? Lies every which way. Corruption is all that they know! Apparantly, republicans think you must be selfish, stupid, and foolish to be a "True American" True Americans pfft.
Why do some Republicans and Conservatives rise to the defense of David Koresh?
As a libertarian (and an atheist) I rise to his defense to the extent that his rights were violated by the federal government. They were, he was trying to exersize his 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendment rights. Remember the poem First They Came? When the Nazis came for the Branch Davidians, I remained silent; I was not a Branch Davidian.
