Answer 1

Kind of funny how Libs tend to attack a person rather than debate, Huh James??? I guess if you can't beat the idea then you have to destroy the person... very progressive of a party. that is why they are on the wrong side of the issues.

Answer 2

Obviously the questioner is a staunch republican conservative, who believes the bull crap he is feed. Arizona a republican state has the highest car theft rates in the country.

Also the concept of wrong side of an issue is preposterous. There is no wrong side only the side that can gain more support.

Our forefathers were not even about letting the public majority vote on everything.

Bush only "won" by 3 percent of the vote you moron. Does that give you the right to be a dictator. **** you, you commie fascist pig. I will be an individual and believe that government has no right to interfere with my life. Also, I believe that opinions and debate are important. The only debate in the world that is nonsense is to debate on the worthiness of "real" debate and progress. Republicans hate debating because they usually fail to make an argument.

We can't even have a real presidential debate. I mean why can't we have an actually debate among all the canidates.

Stop trying to tell me what I can and can't do, you are not the lord and have right to pretend you are.

Answer 3

Check the polls. See which party America wants to run Congress. A sample:

USA Today/Gallup Poll 6/23-6/25
Would you rather vote for the Democratic candidate in your district or the Republican candidate?

Democrat: 54%
Republican: 38%

Answer 4

Is this what it takes to be a strong Republican?

1. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

2. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

4. "Standing Tall for America'" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

6. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

7. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

8. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

9. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

10. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

11. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

12. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

13. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is Solid defense policy.

16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Answer 5

Because not even ugly chicks like Monica Lewinsky want to have sex with Bush..
Personally I blame it on the media.
Why?
Because no one is squeaky clean. Personally I could not stand up to the media scrutiny possible presidential contenders are burdened with, and neither could most people, especially people growing up in the sex drugs and rock and roll 70's.
Even the republican **moral majority** can't come up with a candidate that does't smell after a few days of scrutiny.
That's why democrats can't come up with a better alternative than Gore or Kerry. Who wants to live life and have everything youve ever done or said even when you were young and stupid under a microscope?
We are the laughing stock of other countries.
Only in America can a good president be nearly impeached over his sex life, while a vile individual with a dictatorship mentality , low IQ and no decent speaking skills much less the brains to make decisions that affect me and the entire country - yeah he can remain president even though he and his family have had ties with the bin Laden family and lied to us about the pretenses for going to war in Iraq - killed thousands of our children in this war by sending them in to a hell hole he was not prepared to win - war should be all or nothing not this half *** excuse of a war - get in - get out - make the world a better place - thats why i spent 10 years of my life building the B-2 bomber for chrissakes. I was supposed to retire from that program - build 120 bombers and we built only 20 because of his Daddy Bush the 1st - trying to save the country money - heh -yet he can spend our tax money and our children's lives on this crap - whats a human life worth?
Surely 2000 of them are worth more than we would have spent on defense.
He's taken away some of our freedoms in the name of the Patriot act, which opens the door for more and future abuses of the freedoms we as americans seem to no longer value.
One day you'll lose the freedom to rant like this in a blog and wonder what the hell happened to your free country.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The problem is that being a Republican has somehow become synonamous with being white and church loving and god - fearing. It is very telling that the 30 percent who still think of him favorably are obviously morons.Being a Democrat doesn't mean you don't love and believe in God but apparently there is 30 percent of the nation who actually believes that propaganda.
Unless you are making 100,000.00 a year or more and have dreams of becoming even richer you have no business being a republican, period. I don't care how religious and pious and anti abortion and whatever you are -Wake up !.
God helps those who help them selves and hes not going to be able to help you out of the republican mess you asked for with your votes! He's not likely to put you back in the middle class once you are poor no matter how much you pray. I'm sure plenty of people starving in 3rd world countries have done plenty of praying. And they are STILL Starving.
Republicans and big business will keep the middle class down, make right to work states so you can work your *** off for nothing and for little to no overtime pay-under threat that your job will go to the indians or vietnamese or whoever wants to steal your job next. Housing and gas everything else it takes to live is not getting any cheaper you know - the gap between the haves and the have nots continues to widen people are fighting for their lives just to stay in the middle class with their jobs being imported to other countries due to our new world economy -both parents working at the expense of their kids and families.people wonder why the American family is falling apart, are you too blind to see?. Over half of America is living life with no medical insurance, a prescription for financial ruin if there ever was one -Everywhere else in europe the working person can expect to get about a month in paid vacation time a year, and medical is a given...when was the last time you could take the vacation you earned at all? Much less all at once and not have some repercussions to that??
The Republicans could give a crap about the working people, much less the poor.
Time to wake up and smell the coffee because one day your going to wake up and realise there are just 2 classes left - the rich and those that serve them, and wondering how did it come to this when your churches have no charity left to give you

Answer 6

Clinton's record speaks for it's self! The wrong side of an issue is the point of view from the opposite party, your on the wrong side of comprehension. Your comment on strong religious values I find particularly amusing, When your strong in your convictions of belief you demonstrate that conviction consistently, not just for electoral speech's. The last election wasn't a victory, it was a confetti counting contest! Get your facts straight before you shoot someone in the face, Dick!

Answer 7

Nobody is always on the wrong side of an issue. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to do away with all these labels. Democrat -republican -conservative - liberal, blah blah blah.

In life there are issues and decisions to be made, whatever label society gives you has no bearing on the decisions you make. You analyze and you make a decision according to your best judgment. Labels create unnatural and needless divisions.

Answer 8

I have a espresso cup that reads "ACLU: united statesa.'s Communist foyer Union". I favor that they had in simple terms bypass away. 'Nuff stated. A B - useful, one-sided, holier-than-thou concepts-set to take. they don't seem by using definition on the facet of civil liberties - in simple terms because civil liberties is of their call as you propose. Civil liberties are continually granted on the inspiration that they do no others damage. The ACLU time and time back facet with the criminal and the hatemonger inspite of the damage that is going to do to the sufferer, victims or society in most circumstances. i'd also want to praise you on a sparkling low ... specifically that in case you do not "value" civil liberties, you're probably antagonistic to the ACLU. i'd argue my case - predicated on the actuality above - that those who love civil liberties will many times discover themselves at odds with the ACLU. One or 2 ignorant statements from you gained't get to the bottom of the actuality. you want to finish slightly serious study on civil liberties and what they truly propose. case in factor, do you do not ignore that the first change does not assure unrestricted free speech? There are continually circumstances in which free speech is constrained - authorities workers can't freely discuss many classes, you won't be able to yell, "fireplace!" in a crowded theater, etc. Even the Dixie Chicks must have realized that there are effects to objects you would say. regrettably, they did not and are operating round declaring their freedom of speech has been violated - it hasn't. the authorities did not something with regards to their actuality, yet thousands and thousands of people did. They exercised their freedom of speech by using boycotting their music. Like I stated, carry out slightly autonomous, sensible study truly of in simple terms parroting what you examine interior the lengthy island situations.

Answer 9

Okay, I'm a Republican and would tend to agree with many of your views. But I'm also tired of speeches disguised as questions on Yahoo Answers. Exactly what type of responses are you hoping for here or does it just make you feel important to get people all riled up? Or are you joking or what?

Answer 10

i didnt know a surplus, low gas prices, good economy, peace, tax cuts for middle class, civil rights act, social security, fair housing act, getting us out of a depression casued by a republican named hoover, miranda law, banking act, family medical act, pro union policies, and every policy for the average american was bad. i think you need to go back to college and read history- jfk, lbj, fdr, and clinton did more then your bushes and regans, and nixons. democrats are the ones on the right issues. why does bush have the lowest approval rating in history lower then nixons, becasue americans realize that he is the worst president since nixon.

Answer 11

Just one question-

Why didn't we get Osama in Tora Bora when the CIA visted him weeks before 9/11 in the hospital?

I'm not a democrat but your question is completely without merit.
