A day in the life of Joe Republican

[loseyourname]

By the way, water quality and clean food and drug laws were first put in place by Teddy Roosevelt, a republican.

And "Joe Republican?" You're honestly trying to tell me you haven't been mocking him for the last two weeks? It's people like you in part that convinced me to vote Republican, and attitudes like yours are only going to throw this nation further to the right. People who don't lean to the left on every issue are getting sick of those who do treating the rest of us as ignorant, mindless dolts.

It's people like me who convinced you to vote republican? That's a great advertisement for the republican party, isn't it? hahaha. Good one, loser. We all vote republican because of people who mock republicans. Republicans, the party made up of people who are getting pissed off at left leaning Democrats! What about the issues? Who cares! We're mad at the democrats so we're republican. yaaaay! Got any more brilliant arguments up your sleeve? I would rather not be fanatical one side or the other, but the fact of the matter is yes, I did mock republicans during the last elections because I was against Bush, against banning of gay marriage, against banning of stem cell research, and against the war in Iraq. Does this mean that I do not lean to the right when it comes to other issues?? No!! You're taking the words of people riled up over the last election too seriously.

What I'm taking seriously is the bitterness. And I'm also making an attempt to demonstrate to all who would have Bush castrated and tarred-and-feathered that your vitriol does nothing but solidify your opposition. Funny that Democrats try to say it is Bush driving a wedge through the nation.

I'm also pro-gay marriage and against the war, but guess what? Kerry was against gay marriage and would have continued the war. I don't believe that these were your deciding issues. You sound to me like one of those people who would have voted for a cadaver over Bush. And for what? Did you bother taking a look at the candidates respective platforms? Kerry's was riddled with inconsistencies and promises that he could not possibly have delivered on. Did this make any difference to you, or could he have been running on the "know-nothing" platform and won your vote?

You can not possibly know that he wouldn't have been able to deliver on his promises. Since when has every candidate come through 1000% with what they promised? No I wasn't party of the anybody but Bush campaign. You need to get your head out of your ass and realize that maybe some of us do more than just jump on whatever bandwagon is available and start hollering obscenities to the other side without having a valid reason for it.

It's true that Kerry is against gay marriage and abortions, but, unlike Bush, he wasn't going to try to change the constitution (which I know wont happen even if Bush tries) to make them illegal. I preferred him because he had his point of view and beliefs but also believed in the right to choose, which is more than Bush has to offer.

You honestly think you'll get off on a technicality like that? You and Siggie and most posters on this board continually criticize everything Republican and never have a bad thing to say for anything liberal or democrat. Perhaps I'm wrong if you go back far enough, but this has certainly been the case ever since the election didn't turn out the way you all hoped.

I'm registered as a republican. I don't think people necessarily need to be one or the other. I don't hate conservatives or republicans or disagree with EVERYTHING they say because they say it.

Yeah, I'm sorry I included you. You're not that bad - you're just sarcastic. It's really friends of mine and their parents that are pissing me off.

You know what makes me puzzled about these liberals? They speak as if there were any differences. Both Kerry and Bush were internationalist Statists from the Skull and Bones, both voted for the Patriot Act, both voted for the Iraq war, both believed in limitless government. Now they have to engage in acts of neurosis to pretend that they are "different". Demorats are nothing more than Republicats in sheep clothing. Or the other way around if you want, just to be fair.

that was a great example bejuk... you should not have put joe in the name, it should have been Anonymouse, after all he takes EVERYTHING he has for granted...

i have so many friends that are republicans, but my friends, and my family, have NOTHING to do with this fanatical extrimist administration, come on... think about it... one of the greatest plots of ROVE is to make it seem like the dems are just like the republicans, so that people who are slighly more conservative would choose to be republican, while every time there was a republican in office, we've had no prosperity in the economy, and the largest deficits... i dont know how fiscally conservative republicans are but, throughout history dems have been so much more fiscally conservative then any republican... there is a difference in the TYPE of spending, and a lot of times thats why smart people who know what they want choose a party...

republicans spend much much much more on defense and attempt to privitise.
dems spend more on education, and other social programs, they spend more on the FBI and CIA, but they dont spend that much on defense...

so if you prefer one type of spending versus another then its clear what you will choose... but again, this administration has completely hijacked the republican party... one of my most favorite republican leaders is McCain... he is great, he is so smart, i would LOVE to have him be our president... but this adminstration WALKED all over this poor guy... McCain and SOOOO many other REAL republicans ar against this war and against this administration... for example Bucanan:

this is his book, he is a true conservative...

he is also the the lead in this editorial i think its called the american conservative and it is GREAT, i read small pieces of it, and they were SOOOO AGAINST this war and the deficit, and the spending, and the insane privitisation, because they were the TRUE conservative Republicans of this country and they were completely against this adminsitration...

so i have my favorites from all parties, and i think to choose one all the time or to choose NONE all the time is completely wrong... a normal person lives somewhere in the middle and just because you are pro-choice and NOT against gays, does mean you dont feel conservative about other things in your life... for example in the money you spend or how you would like the bank to make sure your money is guarded...

loseyourname, dont you think that if we have control of the oil in iraq that we shouldnt be paying $2.90 per galon for it? when we didnt have control of it we were paying $0.99 up to $1.50 the most... but aparently this administration like to make profits and the LA times reports this in the back of the paper editorials where ordinary people wont read it... but the real conservative and the real republican would read it... Exxon, Mobil, and Taxaco have made Record breaking profits in the hisorty of their compnay... the CEOs have raised their salaries but regular workers have not gotten the same raises they used... for example all companies used to give the minum raise which was the inflation factor, but now its half of the inflation factor for the past 2 years...

i love living in the US and I love being who i am an Armenian, i am not a dem or a repub, i am a person who will choose a democratic idea for one part of my life, but if i feel that the repubs offer a better deal in securing my money, or, providing better healthcare, then i will choose them...

but the reason this thread was started was to show what dems have done to better this country... so i guess if you want to refute it, then please tell us what major accomplishments the repubs have done to make our lives better, and dont say slavery because we know that all the republicans of that time changed parties after many years of civil rights movements, amendments to allow women to vote, and etc... in essence the repubs of then are the dems of today...

I knew you had to be somewhere in the landscape grinding teeth and fabricating yet another lengthy diatribe that I will not read, simply because I do not consider your opinions to have any merit because you are as myopic as you accuse the Republicans of being.
