View Full Version : Voting Republican
jsanders 04-19-2006, 02:52 PM I’m hoping this thread will become a no holds barred, “your mother wears army boots “, knock out, drag down, free for all.
I'm tired of the sissy fighting; so here’s the question.
Why on Gods Green Earth, (well not so green any more) would any one vote Republican these days?
Uncle Gizmo 04-20-2006, 03:52 AM I would like to become involved in your political debate, however I have no idea what a "Republican" is. I know what a publican is, one of my favorite people someone who runs a pup!
In the UK we have labor, (left) for you American people left (left wing) means communist or nearly communist, labor is the working man's party.
Then you have the liberals, these are halfway between labor and conservative, most of them seem to be gay. I don't know whether they are liberal because they can't make up their minds whether they wanna be labor or conservative, or whether it is just a general trait of their personality, which also manifests itself as not being able to decide if they want to be male or female, So politically they are in the same boat not being able to decide so they take the middle way, Gay....
Then you have conservatives (right) and extreme right, (right wing) are fascists.
So basically our political system is flavored/based around the idea that you have a left and a right, left wing (extreme left) being communism and right wing extreme right being fascism.
Funnily enough, both labor and conservative have sort of moved to the middle ground, there's not been much to choose between them at the moment. Liberals are trying to differentiate themselves by taking a stand on green issues, just what would you expect from a bunch of Fairys really.
I suppose to be fair I should continue the sexual analogy therefore conservatives/fascists are likely to be the NAZI types, with whips and things for beating people. Sadism/fascism sort of go hand in hand. Just think of two SS officers walking along holding hands.
And labor, I can't really think of are sexual analogy, may be wife swapping, brothels, I don't know.
Brianwarnock 04-20-2006, 04:05 AM labor is the working man's party.
Funny how the leaders are nearly all millionaires and went to public (ie Private) schools, whereas the last 2 Conservative Prime Ministers John Major went to Grammar school and Maggie was a Grocer's daughter. :confused:

Most of them are poncy public school millionaire types who have no idea what goes on in reality. That Conservative leader is Eton educated and likes killing foxes with dogs. Just wait till they come round canvassing for the local elections:D
The only good thing (in my opinion) is that the economy has been fairly stable for ages now and that affects the pound in my pocket:D I don't want interest rates of 15% like it was in the early 90's under tories

The problem is I am using MS speech to write down what I say, being an American program, it spells colour color, the labour labor,
Tomato, Tomato that didn't work did it?
So occasionally if I forget to go and change the the "American" words to "English" then you will get this from me occasionally. I don't think it will matter in ten or twenty years time, I am sure the two cultures will convert. Unless of course we get some idiot with a French attitude where they get all stupid about preserving "the" language. Can't see that happening, our language is such a bastardised mix of other languages that it would be pointless.
Now whats a reublican?

Yes the Tories did leave the economy in a good condition and for once a Labour chancellor didn't immediately wreck it, mind you he has destroyed the pensions of anyone not working for the government, and increased taxation to very high levels.
Interest rates are now set by the Bank of England.
Fox hunting is a red herring and has been covered in other threads.

If you have got windows XP (2002) and above, with word, you have probably got the MS speech. It comes free with these programs. So why aren't you using it?
First of all you have to sit and "talk" to your computer. A little bit disconcerting for some people.
however, don't forget, when the phone rings, you pick it up and Chatter away anywhere! What's the difference?
Really, It's psychological, once you have done it once or twice becomes easy. Once you have done the training, about fifteen minutes, the accuracy is amazing. I am using, still using office xp (2002) they tell me that the higher versions are even more accurate. However I don't have any problems with the 2002 version I am reluctant to upgrade yet.
Accent?
There are wide and diverse accents in America, so I would give it a try, I do not think you will be disappointed. Don't forget I have the wiltshire, Berkshire accent sort of a combination of the two. Sometimes I speak with a Wilshire accent and sometimes with a Berkshire accent, never a problem.

pono1 04-20-2006, 05:35 AM Republicans are our right wing political party -- from what I read they seem to be more right-wing than the UK's right wing (I'm winging it here, sorry for the repeats), though there is a lot of wiggle-room for members on issues when it comes down to tight races for office. Democrats are, they say, our left wing party. They are typically less left-wing than your left-wing, though, again, individual members might take a strong stance on either side of an issue if it helps them more than it hurts them. The two parties comprise a political oligarchy, with a sprinkling of self-proclaimed independents occasionally flying into the fray where they're almost always torn apart by one or the other flocks, if not both.
Relatively well known Republicans: Abraham Lincoln (the first Republican president -- before the party had established an identity). Nixon. Reagan. (Bird in the hand) Bush.
Relatively well known Democrats: Franklin Roosevelt. Carter. The Clintons. Sheryl Crow.
Len Boorman 04-20-2006, 05:39 AM If your left wingers are not as left as our left wingers and your right wingers are not as right as our right wingers does that sort of make them all a bunch of English Liberals who basically cannot make their mind up of what they want to be.
L
I think here it is hard to classify some as they "do what my daddy did" even if they don't agree with the party. My mother-in-law (God bless her soul) sounded like a hard core democrat, but always voted a straight republican ticket. I on the other hand am more a conservative, but a lot of hard core reublicans almost say a democrat (but they are so far right, and think they are middle it is scarry). I find it is the same on both sides. I disagree with the right on abortion, gay rights, and a couple other minor things. I disagree with the left on taxes, welfare, gun control. I disagree with both on the environment and gov. control. So it boils down to what are the issue most important to me, and which side follows most of what I like. For me it is the republicans, even if they do things I don't like.

You might have something, there, Len. Of course the driving force behind most of our politicians (especially at the national level) is a desire for power and money -- one begets the other, interchangeably...
Pat Hartman 04-21-2006, 08:31 PM There is also an age thing. Young people are more likely to be Democratic (liberal) and as they mature and acquire material goods, become more consertive (Republican).
Party differences:
Democrats want a large army but they don't want to send it anywhere. Republicans want a small army but they want to send it everywhere.
Democrats want huge social programs for the poor and they're willing to raise taxes to provide them.
Republicans want to provide tax breaks and loopholes for the rich. The poor don't exist in their world. So they drag us into debt to pay for their pork barrel programs.
I started out life as a Democrat but reading Atlas Shrugged by Ann Rynd turned me into a Libertarian. Unfortunately, the Libertarian party doesn't have a large enough following in the US so I tended to vote Republican. However, the Republicans are getting way too religous for my taste so I'm not sure what I'm going to do come November.
NJudson 05-17-2006, 02:07 PM However, the Republicans are getting way too religous for my taste so I'm not sure what I'm going to do come November.
I hear that Pat. Perhaps I am generalizing a bit and should give people more credit than they deserve, but religous people seem to be more easily steered toward a particular belief or agenda. All you have to do is convince them that it is in God's best interest and they will jump on the bandwagon. Whether it is out of love and/or fear of God they will do it with disregard for what they would otherwise not consider doing. This is precisely what Karl Rove and his merry band of republicans succeeded in doing over the past couple elections. They convinced good ol' religous middle America that they must vote anti-abortion, anti-gay and all those other morally righteous topics regardless of what other issues lie out there.
Now take that for what you will, but even though I may be stretching it a bit I do think there is a fair amount of truth to that. Personally, even if I were anti-gay and anti-abortion I simply cannot understand how people would place more importance on these issues over things like the war/national security, the economy and health care program. I know this is just my opinion, but I seriously think many people have totally got there priorities all off whack.

I have been saying that for years now. Fortunately that thinking, got us Georgie boy, soon he will have the Republicans on the tar and feather list.
Pat Hartman 05-17-2006, 08:47 PM If the Democrats had run anyone but John Kerry in 2004, they would have taken the White House. But given Kerry's membership in the same secret society as GWB and his reluctance to take a stand on the immigration issue killed his chances.

Of course the biggest Democrat failure was Gore, He misunderstood the support Clinton had and tried to distance himself from him.
Bad move. Turns out Bill was the most popular president we have had in years.

The democrates were playing the class card too much, RICH are bad, Poor are good, ignore middle class. As I see it, playing the class card is the same as playing the race card. If you can only appeal to your voters by reating class envy, that is a problem. I have the same exact issue with the religous right on gay rights, etc. BUT the republican party did not CREATE that issue, the religous right did, so there is a minor differance.

I can't say Clinton had support as much as he was just Crismatic. I mean how many lies did he tell his voters that he never, ever, followed through on? I got the impression he was more concerned with popularity than what needed to be done. I can't say he was a bad pres. He really didn't do anything, and that was the best thing about him.

You’re right of course the Republicans did not invent morality, but they did capitalize on it much more effectively than the Democrats.
One of the reasons Clinton didn’t “accomplish” anything was that he was hamstrung from the very beginning by a witch hunt.
He did however have a better understanding of economics than either of the Bush’s.
He also saw the problem with run-away government spending. Something our "fiscally conservative" Republican leadership doesn’t seem to grasp.
One of the reasons Clinton didn’t “accomplish” anything was that he was hamstrung from the very beginning by a witch hunt.
Nothing could be further from the truth. His first two years in office he had democratic control of both the house and the senate, yet he could not get anything through either. The next (Ok can't remember if it was 2 or 4 years) he had control of the senate, but the republicans had a 1 or 2 majority in the house. Now he got a few things through with the republicans than he did with the democrates. It wasn't until he was a lame duck that the witch hunt (as you put it) really started. I mean, he was a lying sack of doo doo, and needed to be called to the table, but I think they just went way over board. Could have something to do with the press not wanting to give Clinton bad press as they always seemed to fall all over themselves around him.

NJudson 05-18-2006, 08:24 AM It wasn't until he was a lame duck that the witch hunt (as you put it) really started.
And it was likely Clinton's infidelity gone public that turned more and more Americans onto the idea that Bush's morally righteous ways are the way we should go. So I guess Democrats should partially blame Clinton for Bush's terms in office.

Of course, your making this comment based on a few Americans opinion compared to 300 million Americans. Everyone's perception is their reality but that doesn't necessarily make it reality. The religious right probably does base their voting decisions on moral issues, say more so than other Americans, would but that wouldn't have to mean that they turn their brains off to all other issues. Politicians are politicans. They say one thing when their trying to get elected and then do another when they are elected. They all do it. No matter who gets in office, there is always going to be groups who like whats happening and give their reasons. Those who don't like what's happening and have reasons and others who don't think anything one way or another. It's better than having a dictator and not being able to even express your opinion.:)
A local barber shop installed a new robotic barber to take some
off the pressure off the owner.
A fellow came in for a haircut and after being told about the
"new barber" decided he would give it a try. As the robot began to cut
his hair, it asked the man, "What's your IQ?"
The man replied, "140." So the robot proceeded to make
conversation about physics, astronomy, investments, insurance, and so
on. The man listened intently and said "This is really cool."
Later another man who was waiting for a haircut stepped up to
the robot's chair, sat down and the robot asked him before beginning his
haircut, "What's your IQ?" The man replied "100." So the robot started
talking about football, baseball, and so on. This man too thought to
himself "Wow! This is really cool."
Next, a third man stepped up to the robot's chair, seated
himself and the robot, as with the others, asked him "What's your IQ?"
The man replied "30." The robot then said, "So, I understand you
Democrats are really excited about Hillary running for president?"

Because there are a great many people who continue to concentrate upon the loss of life and the tragedy of the event and never move beyond the feelings the moment evoked. As a result, it is considered as some morbid national holiday and anyone who suggests that we should move beyond the anger and pain towards actually solving the problems that created the situation is considered a heartless, vile, cretin.
It is also considered heartless, inhumane, and cruel to even suggest any form of entertainment based on the events of that day...but it's OK to watch the news footage over, and over, and over again.

I'm not saying anything other than we had the film on national TV here and there seemed to be sound reasoning behind all the points raised. e.g. all the backhanders rebuilding contracts going to companies that the Bush family have interests in etc. Even GWB senior has a mosaic in one of Saddams palaces. Then there's the Saudi links with the Bush family and the contracts being dished out like smarties.
As for 9/11 itself - Al Quaida did it so GWB invades Iraq, kills 20,000+ and nearly 3,000 US soldiers and Iraq has no links to Al Quaida and Bin Laden is a free man. Now he's (GWB) is screwing up Afghanistan, then he'll bomb Iran just for the hell of it.
Ok, the Al Quaida 2nd in command is now killed - so there's a vacancy now for a religious freak who has no qualms about mass killing - when is GWB's term finishing?. . . . . . . . .:rolleyes:

Yeah, odd isn't it that the American news networks made great claim to ridding the world of one of their enemies, even odder that it was their action that put him there in the first place :mad:
America first!
:rolleyes:
Here's an idea, ban the Republican party, all those who look as if they might be Republican can then be sent to Gitmo.
After 4 1/2 years of being locked up without any charge if they commit suicide we can simply dismiss them as trying to wage a war against America :rolleyes:

Bart Fishermans 06-13-2006, 02:27 PM I just heard GWB just made a quick unexpected surprise visit to Iraq today. (Weather that's fact or fiction is yet to be discovered. We all know Bush's infamous reputation for lies which started the Iraq war in the first place.)
Anyhow he supposedly went to talk to the new president of Iraq today telling him how great a job he's (GWB) done for Iraq and how Iraq will now be another "free democratic" country.
Let's all give George a pat on the back!
Better still, Lets send him to Guantanamo Bay.

Why is a Republican Thing?? Is it all are nothing, with you political racist.
Genocide is the answer?

I'm not a racist I've just seen the misery the Republican party has inflicted on the rest of the World! :mad:
The problem is I am using MS speech to write down what I say, being an American program, it spells colour color, the labour labor,
No wonder the Yanks get confused with piece and peace.

and with the mid-term elections looming, it seems that nothing much is going to change. Bush will still have an unopposed path to kill more people and have more Americans killed.:rolleyes:

Actually, I do feel for the families of service personnel who get their spouse back in a box - each one usually means a father of kiddies is gone forever.
We see all those coffins with the US flag on them all lined up, it sort of brings it home what a right mess it all is - all thanks to one man who wanted to boost his ego.:rolleyes: :mad:
