Republicans only: What myths and misconceptions do you often see here about Republicans?

Answer 1

Republicans are stupid. Thats the main myth that I have a problem with.

It is dishonest to your fellow Democrats to propagate a myth about your political opponent. Never underestimate the other side.

I like a good debate. When you say that, you tend to stifle debate. Any respect you had for your opponent is lost and therefore you cannot respond logically to their points. Honestly it makes you look stupid...

Answer 2

Misconceptions #1: George Bush is to blame for everything that has happened in this country for the past 6 years. Including Katrina hitting N.O. Like he has control over hurricanes?? RIGHT DEMS?

Misconception #2: That all Republicans are Red Necks and live in double wide or single wide trailers. ha ha.. I'm a Republican and I have never lived in a trailer. I have a big beautiful house. I have this house, because my husband and I work our butts off to be able to afford it. We are middle class Americans.

Answer 3

I HELLBENT think that Republicans are too often cast as the bad guys who do not care about the poor. They do. They however, do not care about the lazy leeches of society who drain our economy and will not work even though they can.

HELLBENT will be leaving the building to go buy candy for the litlle trick-or-treaters that come to HOPELAND my Memphis Mansion.

Answer 4

That we are wealthy and care only about the wealthy.

Fact is, most of the middle class are Republicans. The plans for taxation that the Dems have will end the middle class.

Answer 9

That bush did not have warnings of a strike before 9/11


That over the summer of 2001 Washington received many urgent, senior-level warnings from foreign intelligence agencies and governments - including those of Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Afghanistan and others - of impending terror attacks using hijacked aircraft and did nothing, demonstrates the pressing need for a new Intelligence Czar.

That John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircraft in July 2001 on account of security considerations had nothing to do with warnings regarding September 11, because he said so to the 9/11 Commission.

That former lead counsel for the House David Schippers says he’d taken to John Ashcroft’s office specific warnings he’d learned from FBI agents in New York of an impending attack – even naming the proposed dates, names of the hijackers and the targets – and that the investigations had been stymied and the agents threatened, proves nothing but David Schipper’s pathetic need for attention.

That Garth Nicolson received two warnings from contacts in the intelligence community and one from a North African head of state, which included specific site, date and source of the attacks, and passed the information to the Defense Department and the National Security Council to evidently no effect, clearly amounts to nothing, since virtually nobody has ever heard of him.

That in the months prior to September 11, self-described US intelligence operative Delmart Vreeland sought, from a Toronto jail cell, to get US and Canadian authorities to heed his warning of his accidental discovery of impending catastrophic attacks is worthless, since Vreeland was a dubious character, notwithstanding the fact that many of his claims have since been proven true.

That FBI Special Investigator Robert Wright claims that agents assigned to intelligence operations actually protect terrorists from investigation and prosecution, that the FBI shut down his probe into terrorist training camps, and that he was removed from a money-laundering case that had a direct link to terrorism, sounds like yet more sour grapes from a disgruntled employee.

That George Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan on his desk before 9/11 demonstrates only the value of being prepared.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.

That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.
