When the second largest single voting block for your political party consists of people who believe in magic (creationism), do not accept that all men are created equal (pro-segregation, pro-racism), do not believe in freedom of religion (Christian evangelicals only acknowledge the beliefs of those warped little provincials that share their values), do not believe in freedom of choice (abortion), freedom of speech (again, unless the person speaking shares their views), freedom of assembly (which is why they hate liberal protester-types) or freedom of thought (which is why they routinely hold book burning parties in places like Springfield, Missouri)...
How can people, in right mind and good conscience, even entertain the thought of supporting a republican agenda?

"What Republican alive in the House or Senate today has come out in support of segregation? What Republican in the House or Senate today has said they're "pro-racism"? "
Answer: Trent Lott, which is why he was reprimanded and censured.

I try to, but when I see Sean Hannity squinting, I just feel like it's the party of sixth graders.
The Democrats aren't any better, just another class of sixth graders.

What Republican alive in the House or Senate today has come out in support of segregation? What Republican in the House or Senate today has said they're "pro-racism"?
Why does the belief in a particular religion mean that a person opposes freedom of religion?
In what way do Republicans not support freedom of speech? Why does hating "liberal protester types" mean that Republicans don't support freedom of assembly?
You're full of it.

How can you take the Democrats seriously when they believe that government is the solution for all our problems like social security medicare, welfare, public housing they have run these programs into basic bankruptcy so successfully , now they would like a at bat with health care. Would like to destroy the United States with open borders so supposedly get more votes, ( Republicans are not much better but Dems are even worse)create a dependency mentality among so many Americans who believes the government owes them a living.
Have destroyed a public education system where so many Americans can easily be fooled because a lack of critical thinking as seen on Yahoo answers constantly. Against voters identifying themselves, even though we need ID from everything from buying cigarettes to traveling. I have yet to see a Democrat come up with a new or thoughtful idea in the last 25 years. why are they still supported?

Republicans live in a country that was started by men who believed in "magic". Our laws and values come from that "magic".
Have you ever read the constitution? The word God is mentioned many times, and the phrase, "All men are created equal" are both there. Christains aren't out attacking other religions. Not that they would otherwise, but we are to busy defending our own against attacks.
Now abortion, that is something you won't find in the constitution. Thats simply one out of many subjects on freedom of choice. I'll avoid the abortion debate.
Freedom of speech? Who is subduing freedom of speech? I believe talk radio is under heavy attack from leftwing groups. Also, I remember the phrase "Shut the fox up." At a recent anti Foxnews protest.
Your last two statements are simply absurb. There are no right wing groups pursuing the end of liberal protest any where near the fierce oppossion the left is placing onto talk radio.

you are obviously completely closed minded and just want people to come in an reassure that "yes you are so right". So republicans are everything thats wrong with the world, and liberals are pro EVERYTHING right.... did you know the NAACP was started with help of the republicans? did you know that the confederate flag is the flag of the then democratic party? dont make false allegations when you dont know what your talking about....i could go on and on refuting all the bias crap you spouting out but why bother....

How can we take Democrats seriously:
They don't protect the innocent and unborn, but protect the guilty and convicted.
They don't believe in freedom of religion becuase they don't believe that government can coexist with religion without the establishment of a National Religion which is what our founders desired.
They blindly follow what the see in movies and take it as fact without their own research.
They believe racism is okay as long as it as anti-white.
They believe theory = fact as in Darwin's THEORY of evolution and the THEORY of man's impact on the climate.
They believe socialism should replace capitalism.
They don't believe in freedom of speech because they want to shut down protests in front of abortion clinics and abortionists' homes.
They believe burning of the American Flag is a patriotic demonstration.
How can people, in right mind and good conscience even enteratin the thought of supporting a democratic agenda which wants to chip away our freedoms, give our jobs to the Mexicans and destroy the morale of our military by deriding America while claiming to support the troops?

stable question. the factor is capitalism and how social interplay on the subject rely of it. Republicans help something this is economically sound. Their factor is that a individual might desire to have the potential to do in spite of they pick economically because of the fact they have Christianity to steer their habit. If a individual makes a call, they did it on their very own, inspite of what their difficulty grow to be, or who did what to them. the situation with it is which you may desire to thoroughly forget concerning the undeniable fact that social interactions and fiscal and political practices ARE appropriate. Capitalism inherently creates a social/economic hierarchy. Nature says that this hierarchy might desire to fail, inspite of the undeniable fact that this is because of the fact of social establishments like faith, entertainment, rules, regulation enforcement, the militia, and propaganda that this hierarchy is maintained. this is straightforward to try this after a individual's thoughts administration their good judgment. fooling around with faith facilitates them to try this.

Maybe you haven't heard of Robert 'sheets' Byrd, DEMOCRAT Senator from West Virginia who, was an actual member of the Ku Klux Klan. Just in case you forgot. Besides, we don't view people as voting blocs. They are individuals and think individualy.

Are you kidding me?
Evolution is a theory. Not saying it isn't true, but, it is a theory. (As is man-caused global warming)
Liberals use race more than Republicans. Ever heard of Affirmative Action?
Liberals hate religion.
Freedom of choice? So then I should be able to CHOOSE to own a weapon? Right, liberal?
Freedom of speech? You guys HATE Rush and FOX news.
Freedom of thought? See above point.
You might want to take a quick look at your baby-killing, socialist, surrendering party before you smear the party of the President in 08 ;)

You have to take them very seriously, or else you end up like Al Gore and John Kerry, wondering what the hell happened to this sure-thing win I was supposed to have. These are animals who will do whatever it takes to win, legal or otherwise, and once they get in they will do anything to get their twisted, psychotic agenda passed.
We must come out to vote in such numbers in 2008 that it won't be close enough for them to steal. We need to give them a defeat so hard that it will make them realize that what they've done is so hated it will never be approved again for at least a generation, and maybe then they'll nominate an honest, decent, caring person who can lead them and would deserve to win. But don't hold your breath. For these reasons, we MUST take the vicious right-wingers who currently run the Republican Party seriously -- until they run it no longer.
