Serious Question... Can the GOP ever be trusted with high office again in the 21st century?

Question

It seems to me that History tells us that their love of materiality, war and themselves do not serve the interest of the American people....

In doubt? take the example of the banking arrangements between Hitler and a particular bank led by a particular family... I call no names, but we all know who was funding Hitler whilst American troops were being prepared for war.

Answer 1

The GOP cannot be trusted with occupying the highest political offices in the land, if the GOP is still comprised of people who put financial gain over the lives of Americans and people of other nations. Furthermore a party that is held hostage by religious fanatics, as the Republicans so ostensibly are, cannot be entrusted with formulating educational guidelines, economic policy, the funding of science and the arts, or have involvement with any other domestically important issue. As history and current events have demonstrated, a nation that is subject to religious hegemony will never progress but regress in every way imaginable.

Unfortunately, as clear as this is to you and I, it is not clear to many people. So even though I know and you know that the GOP cannot be trusted, at least in its current state, that is not going to dissuade a good portion of Middle America from voting for these people.

Answer 2

I've no love for either side of the political aisle, but certainly a GoP candidate could be "trusted" by the American people to hold the title of President for four years in the future.

As for the "doubt" aspect of your question -- that's painting with a rather broad brush, don't you think? That would be similar to saying that all Democrats cheat on their spouses with their interns - or that all male Republicans will chat-up the male Congressional Pages at a moment's notice. The actions of a few do not provide a corollary natural law as to the predisposition of others within their own political party.

Answer 3

Serious Answer: you are not an American so you have no legitimate interest in who runs America.

And as you should know by now, FDR made arrangements with Hitler to protect certain American businesses in Germany, including banks, from nationalization. If you're going to quote history tell the whole story. Plus you know that Hitler was a socialist, right?

Answer 4

You call this a serious question. If that was the case then we can exclude all candidates, and not have a President. You must have forgotten that there are two sides to every story. I also will bring up that America did stop Hitler, and the fact that certain business's and individual get rich on war has nothing to do with why we are at war. Bush had nothing to do with 911! All candidates MUST have a love for themselves or they wouldn't want the JOB of President!

Answer 5

If I may, after the crash and burn of Nixon and Ford, the Republicans came back with Reagan and Bush Sr for 12 years.

The GOP has this ability to rebound, so, although they may get a beating in 2008, they will regain the White House before 2020 (unles the Dems absolutely implode)

Answer 6

definite. we've not had a terrorist attack in this united states of america in rather much 8 years. Bush became into in the White abode for below 8 months on 9/11. the shortcoming of cooperation between the intelligence companies went back properly previously Bush became into even out of highschool. No president had taken in on himself to do something approximately it. while Bush took workplace, the Clinton administration did no longer bypass off to him a terrorist possibility that became into drawing close. as a techniques because of the fact the situation of cooperation between the companies being "mitigated" rather of being fixed -- it ain't never gonna be fixed to the ingredient to finished cooperation because of the fact each and each business enterprise has some stupid and innate ought to "no longer share each and everything." you're making it sound as though Bush acted in a vacuum. the place became into Congress all this time? rather of occasion politics and bickering between themselves why did no longer they take action to call for transformations in the way the companies performed their agency? My vote is going to a conservative, no longer some 0.5-azz flesh presser working below the GOP banner. placed a conservative on the GOP cost ticket and, yeah, i will have faith him, or her, because of the fact the case may be.

Answer 7

The name was 'Prescott Bush'.

I don't see why not. There have been good Republican leaders before. Like Abraham Lincoln, for example. And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Eisenhower a Republican? All the real conservatives have to do is kick out Halliburton and Bechtel's yes men and start ruling the party on principle.

Answer 8

Sure. You are over-exaggerating your point to the degree of ridiculous. One bad grape doesn't spoil the bunch. Bush will be out of office soon. Get a clue. Thats like saying will there ever be a Democrat to actually have family values since Clinton has ruined the Dems chance of ever standing on that leg. Again one person is not a whole party. Typical leftist crap you spew. Find one example and apply it to the grand scheme of things without doing your own thinking.

Answer 9

Being that they are the only ones remotely trying to be conservative, heck ya!

What "love over materiality?" Is that a joke? Is that to say theres no rich libs?

War? Democrats voted for the war too remember? Or have you been in a coma for the last 5 years?

Hitler and libs have the same problem. They have no fundamental respect for human life.

Answer 10

I don't think you can lump together everyone from one party and say that because one GOP did something, they are all like that. Remember that in the 1850s it was the Democrats fighting for the right to keep slaves. Does that mean that they can never be trusted again?
