Taking the quicker poster's element that there are not extremely any "leaders" interior the Republican party, there are certainly a number of Republicans who've publicly recommended violence against the U. S. government in some kind or yet another. that is honestly treasonous, rather while it comes no longer from any mere citizen, yet from an elected reliable who has sworn an oath to uphold the form. and notwithstanding if that is anecdotal, notwithstanding if an inordinately extreme share of folk on the radical ultimate flock to Yahoo! solutions, lots of the flaws one sees in posts on listed right here are very nerve-racking, and doubtlessly very risky. That such countless individuals have been weened off of extreme theory and fed propaganda for long sufficient that they are receptive to such radical innovations will actual would desire to be addressed in our society as urgently and heavily as plausible.

I am a republican myself but the stuff u just mention has nothing to do with being a good republican or not. there is only one thing and one thing that a person can do to prove he/she is a good republican. they gotta realize that not everything their politician says is rite. this applies to being a democrat or anything else. if u believe that ur politician is perfect and cant do no wrong then u aint a good repupublican,democrat or indipendent.

Nice work. Everything on this list is dead on. I would also add:
19. You have to continue to beleive that Iraq had wmds long after it has been proven otherwise.
20. You have to belive that Iraq attacked us on 9/11.
21. You have to believe that we are actually still looking for Bin laden.

Good Republicans play on the freeway..........blind folded..........at night.
Seriously, good list though. At first I thought this was all going to sarcastic but much of it is actually what many Reps believe. Kinda scary. I gave you a star.

It's a trick question: Republicans aren't ever /good/.
But that's OK, Democrats are all evil, too.
