Are most republicans highly strung, irrational, and easily provoked?

Answer 1

I thought that description fit most Democrats too!

We are becoming an increasingly polarized nation and question/comments like this do not contribute to a positive dialogue. Too many people on both sides of the aisle fit this description. Everyone is trying to play "gotcha" while no one is trying to find real solutions to real problems. Even when one side has a good idea, the other side will oppose it for fear that their opponent will get the credit. I'm ready to vote for "none of the above"! How about you?

Answer 2

Let's see: Kerry; Pelosi; Gore; Hillary Clinton are democrats. Pretty "highly strung, irrational and easily provoked." On the other hand, Ben Stein is a Republican. Pretty easy-going and rational. Hmm.

Answer 3

Again, only the conservative ones. Although they would sell out there country for their party, Olympia Snow, Susan Collins and in some small cases, Sen. Specter are not irrational or highly strung. Easily provoked, perhaps. But only when it comes to power, money, and their Republican party

Answer 4

I don't take it all personal like the Democrats do!!

They are the ones so irrational............think first before going off the wall.

Look at Michael Moore! Another name for high strung, irrational, and easily provoked.

Answer 5

The Old Conservative Republican Ideology Ideas Are Extinct

Neo-Conservative

Republican party of the evangelical religious right, big business, the wealthy and are globalistic (fight for economic resources/power).


Yes, Neo-Conservatives are easily influenced by evangelicals and big business.

Why? Political Campain Money. Lobbyist no longer kiss Republican Politician's asses, the Republicans kiss their ***.

Without Money they do not get re-elected.

Seperation from Church and Government, Not any more. The evangelical religious right is taking over legislation, judiciary desions and our education system

Neo Conservatice call for stronger state-level control on access to abortion, oppose the legalization of same-sex marriage, and favor faith-based initiatives. The party supports prayer in the public schools, and says creationism should be taught to children as a counterpoint to evolution, which it denounces as unbiblical. Neo-Conservatives also oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.


During these times I would not be proud to be an American.

Answer 6

Definately, most Republicans are Americans... and all Americans are high strung, irrational and easily provoked.

Answer 7

A person gets like that when they are full of shame and guilt. Always on the defensive and quick to react when faced with an uncomfortable feeling such as self doubt. Have pity on them. Some people were oxygen starved as babies and their mental functions didn't finish developing.

Answer 8

No more so than a donkeys *** like a Democrat on drug reform or any other topic. Republican are not any better than a Democrat now days they are hot headed and don't know which way is up are down.

Answer 9

lets see... most the time when we "label" other its because we ourselves are acting out the very label that we place on others and we place ourselves as being "better" than someone else. Statements that obviously are made to incite the very response you wish. Are we that juvenile? Or is it that we feel we must bring out emotional responses to try and prove our weak point.

Answer 10

All people are, it doesn't matter what your political party is. If someone made fun of your mom how would you react? Would you like people to blame that on your name? Gender? Race? People are people we all get deffensive.
