http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,258418.0.html


maybe the republicans would have better candidates  if good folks voted in the primaries
even as it is the worst republican will get my vote over a democrat
just based on who they will allign thamselves with once in office


but  why  would any one ever vote for a democrat???
i am  not just here to bash democrats  tho  i do enjoy  it
but  truly would like this question answered

[guzzijohn]

I use to vote republican until:


They tried to butt into my personal life in too many ways.
They grew to much of an "I got mine so screw you" attitude.
They want to be "macho" as in if you don't like my way we will just invade and bomb your country.
They want to put everyone in prison and throw the key away.
They want to execute people, even if there is a chance of killing an innocent person.
They don't think a former convict can change and become a productive citizen.
They make drug penalties that wreck the person and their families more than the drug itself.
They don't support the needs of the disabled and disadvantaged.
They say they believe in freedom of religion unless it is other than their religion.
They belittle anyone that does not agree with them.
They support the rich to in expense of the middle class, disabled and the poor.
The tea party came came from the republican party.
When they no longer supported education.
They want to cut spending but want to continue to support at great tax payer expense a bloated and in many ways no longer designed for todays needs military.


I suppose I could go on and I am sure many will totally disagree with me but hey, someone asked and I answered IMHO.

well...i happen  to agree with 9 of the 14 things you listed


i do wish we had another choice

The biggest reason I think people vote for democrats is that they are buffaloed by the media and the dems themselves, into thinking the Democrats really care about people. The other reason is that democrats have always been for taxing those that have and giving it to those they think are worthy of receiving it. It has been the biggest vote buyer for the democrats, where people are willing to vote money from others pockets. Of coarse the republicans have taken a cue from the democrats in this department, so they too can receive votes from the gimme crowd. I do think if many truly knew what democrats and republicans are really up to, they would vote for neither. That is what the government run media is for, to keep the wool pulled over the voters eyes.

I use to vote republican until:You prefered Liberalism


They tried to butt into my personal life in too many ways. But Libs want complete contro of your life, better huh!
They grew to much of an "I got mine so screw you" attitude. Like Warren Buffett & Hollywood & folks in Gov, Libs do that
They want to be "macho" as in if you don't like my way we will just invade and bomb your country. Or say you will stop it,but don't
They want to put everyone in prison and throw the key away. Libs only want Christians, Conservatives. Libertarians, gun owners or anyone that doesn't agree with them to be locked up.
They want to execute people, even if there is a chance of killing an innocent person.Libs especially want to eliminate the innocent, since they have nothing in common with them, but again anyone who stands in the way of Socialism.
They don't think a former convict can change and become a productive citizen.Libs would rather give convicts the benefit of a doubt & take away from the productive person.
They make drug penalties that wreck the person and their families more than the drug itself.
They don't support the needs of the disabled and disadvantaged. Libs would rather eliminate these "inferiors" before they are born or when they are Babies.
They say they believe in freedom of religion unless it is other than their religion. Libs are all about silencing Christians, both Protestant & Catholic & exalt Islam & Atheist.
They belittle anyone that does not agree with them. Wow, the Libs are the biggest offender of this, we all know that!!
They support the rich to in expense of the middle class, disabled and the poor. Yes, Libs talk about helping the "working Man" while breaking their backs by crippling the economy & The Middle Class, disabled & WORKING Poor suffer the most, while embracing CRONIE CAPITALISM and help a few of their supporter grow wealthier.
The tea party came came from the republican party. Thank goodness for that
When they no longer supported education. The more Libs try to "help" education, the worse it gets, a historical fact.
They want to cut spending but want to continue to support at great tax payer expense a bloated and in many ways no longer designed for todays needs military. Libs don't want a strong military because they know what is best for us & no one wants to hurt us.

I could go on and on, but these are a few reasoons I have NEVER been a Democrat, but am also very disgusted at so many RINOS who have become much like sorry LIB Dems. 

[yellowtail3]

GUZZI makes some good points.


Must be that weird V-twin side-to-side rock the MotoGuzzis have...


I don't have any side-to-side motor torque on my bike... only the occasional wheelstand if I downshift before passing and let it run past 8 grand.

[ironglow]

Perhaps because they have their heads where the sun doesn't shine... Or perhaps because they are lazy and want to freeload.  Could be, they have limited wisdom..and  are eager to help the country reach the bottom of Prof Alexander Tytler's list:
 
  Presidential Election.^[9]>A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

• From bondage to spiritual faith;
• From spiritual faith to great courage;
• From courage to liberty;
• From liberty to abundance;
• From abundance to selfishness;
• From selfishness to complacency;
• From complacency to apathy;
• From apathy to dependence;
• From dependence back into bondage

No surprise there!

They tried to butt into my personal life in too many ways.
Who designed the "nanny state" and wants to get everybody possible on food stamps or some other govt program.. and who wants to take our gunsaway ?  Next will it be all knives and sharp objects ? 
They grew to much of an "I got mine so screw you" attitude.
So ask Obama about his dealings with Tony Rezko, congress' old plated medical plan which they prefers to Obamacare. Charlie Rangel's Bahamian condos, Tim Geitner's and Tom Daschel's tax returns and Obama's Hollywood liberal sycophants...Or how about Michelle's $200,000,000 trips to Spain, Africa etc?
They want to be "macho" as in if you don't like my way we will just invade and bomb your country.
  Guilty as charged, conservatives are just naturally more macho than liberals...the quiche eaters..
They want to put everyone in prison and throw the key away. 
    Nope, just the convicted ones and let 'em earn the key...are we now getting back to that "pot & crack" argument again?
They want to execute people, even if there is a chance of killing an innocent person.
In 1973 the Democrats  and an "activist judge" (who knows the truth by now) cleared the way to execute about 50,000,000 little boys & girls since that time...aren't you proud of them?
They don't think a former convict can change and become a productive citizen.  Not so..you are now blowing liberal smoke.  Ignoring the 1st amendment, it is the Democrats who want to persecute folks if they use certain, non-politically correct words.  It is the Democrats who want to jail people "for what they are yhinking" (hate crimes).
They make drug penalties that wreck the person and their families more than the drug itself.
  Now we are getting somewhere; it apparently IS that old "pot & crack" thing that perhaps has placed a burr under your saddle! 
They don't support the needs of the disabled and disadvantaged.
  Not true, conservatives gladly take care of the truly needy.  Of course we resent sending our tax money to federal govt programs, which siphon off 60% before the truly needy even get a sniff of it.  Such things should be handled on a local level.
They say they believe in freedom of religion unless it is other than their religion. 
When did Republicans EVER sponsor a bill to inhibit any honest practice of faith?  Facts please..put up,or shut up!  It is the Democrat/Liberals running around tearing down crosses and nativity displays..they have a hate for at least one religion..
They belittle anyone that does not agree with them.
  Hmmm, have you noticed how Sarah Pakin has been treated, how G.W. Bush has been treated?  How about the liberal "gays" running through a cathedral in NY City..disrupting Sunday Mass?  Have you heard some of the slurs applied to Bible believing Christians?
They support the rich to in expense of the middle class, disabled and the poor. Wake up and smell the productivity!  Republicans don't especially support the rich..but they refuse to throw insane rules, regulations and roadblocks in their way.  "A rising tide lifts all boats" (economics 101).. I never was hired by a poor man..   BTW...The Obummer has friends..The Hollyweird elites, George Soros, Tony Rezko and Immelt of GE..whose corporation pays ZERO taxes to the US.  ...You can put down your glass of Koolaid now...
 
The tea party came came from the republican party.  The Tea Party is a 'gass roots' party!  It believes in less govt interference, less taxes, less stupid govt spending, maximum individual freedom, RTKBA, and govt accountable to the people....... DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT

r todays needs military.
Carefully spent money on our military is wise stewardship.  We live in a dangerous world, getting more dangerous every day.  We like our freedom and the only thing standing between freedom and tyrannical slavery from without..is our fine military.  Other expenditures..NEA, the UN, the National Endowment for the Arts, ACORN, and the ACLU are just wasted expenditures compared to the fine folks in our military..who perform their duties much less expensively than congress or Obama..


I suppose I could go on and I am sure many will totally disagree with me but hey, someone asked and I answered IMHO.

but  why  would any one ever vote for a democrat???

Because they want something for free.......

Here is another good one although the two agents of the dempugnican party should also be wielding "patriot act" axes in addition to the ones they are already swinging:

gov, if you are well versed in the issues and whats going on in america and know the truth as in facts and statistacts then you are not going to be swayed towards the dems.if your a logical person and can relate performance with results, then your not going to be swayed. if your dont believe empty promises that you know cant be fullfilled, then your not going to be swayed.realism is one of the hard to take facts of being on our side.life aint all roses, yu work for what yu get,yu can achieve if you work harder.thats the facts.if lies cant sway you from facts then your nuttin but a real honest person and a real american.

Both parties are terrible. Its just that one is not as bad as the other and that one happens to be the Rs.

This is true but slowly and surely the R's are closing the gap on the D's in the evil department.

[Cabin4]

I think they long closed that gap

So true, and they get offended when I refer to them as parasites.

[twoshooter]

The simple answer is that they want something different than those that vote republican. They believe in different things, they VALUE different things. The main way that they are just alike is that the "true believers" on both sides believe that their own "truths" are self evident, and that since they both have such"logical , coherent, and compelling arguments " that anyone who does not immediately see the "superiority" of their position must obviously be either stupid or evil.
    I look at both sides with a somewhat  jaundiced view. Both sides have some basic beliefs that I firmly agree with and support, but then they both wander off aimlessly into hazardous territory. Many of the arguments here sound to me like this: "Yup, I agree, and we don't want anyone eating turnips either, can you believe that, some people ACTUALLY eat those things. Man, anyone who would eat a turnip,........ YOU would be friends with someone who eats turnips !! My GOD, I never would have thought it! How can you do that? You know that those people are just lazy, and want something for nothing. That's why they BOIL those things! Can you imagine that, they don't GRILL them!! Grilling is HOLY, ....... well, gas is sorta OK, but you really need charcoal to be righteous.......You probably tried tofu ,,,,, didn't you
       Flip side: OMG!!! Meat ?? RED MEAT ? GRILLED? Do you have any idea how many carcinogens........ You are actually responsible for the death of an animal (sob-sob) How could I have been so blind??? You ANIMAL, how can you be so callous, so brutal......

Cain, I believe, grew veggies. Able was in livestock. God apparently was in the mood for mutton, so Cain picked up a rock.............

and so it goes.....

Don't flatter yourself Billy! Most people just pass it off as someone who likes to call names and flame anyone that he doesn't agree with. Try sticking to the topic without the pseudo name calling!

[billy_56081]

No name calling at all NW, just calling a spade a spade. Folks who live off of others are parasites.

quilty as charged!


i admit to minimizing the faults of the  republican party
but as time goes by i realize the importance of the primaries




BILLY.......they are not all parasites ....but would fanish without the parasitic vote


as far as the GAP....i think its bigger and the democrats are now communist
