Stated white men are leaving the Democratic Party by the paltry margin of 1% from 2000 to 2004.

This is true if you only look at the numbers up until 2004.

The facts are in the 2006 election which tossed the GOP out of control of Congress - white men voted for the GOP by only 9% - a 17% INCREASE in votes for democrats.

With tactics like these - is it any wonder the GOP is being abandoned?

Answer 1

Loyalty to the party line comes before truth justice and America. Anything to save America from the liberals with their communist agenda.

Using lies, slander and obstruction are typical for the regressive right that has such a big and devastating hold on the United States

Obstruction and character assasination, think Clinton,Kerry but even Carter are an essential part of the strategy of the American right. See also the classic tax scheme. By underfunding vital government services to the brink of collapse they show government is inefficient and the free market is always better. They don't fund properly and then use the inevitable poor service as a reason to fund it even less or even abolish it.

The only thing the American right is good at is PR because the above example of perverse power politics isn't recognized as such by most Americans but welcomed as the hollow low taxes rhetoric. Facts are Republicans are for big money and don't care about ordinary Americans whether they are Democrats or Republicans

Answer 2

The problem with these arguments is that both sides, Republican and Democrat, think that Americans are aligned with one party. The fact is that most people change their votes from Republican to Democrat dependent on the candidate.

It is true that men are fleeing the recent trend of voting Republican... the whole nation has made this shift as evidenced by the 2006 elections for Congress and governors. This shift will probably continue as long as this war does not significantly improve the Middle East.

It will always be this way... people's "allegiances" to the parties will change all the time because most of us don't have a allegiance to either party. The GOP has made the mistake of thinking that voters are true Republicans or Democrats... this is a careless assumption.

Answer 3

there's a huge area of the White American inhabitants that's thoroughly smitten by Black human beings in each and every way. they do no longer care if Blacks voted Democrat for some years now, they only opt to talk approximately us for any reason they could.

Answer 4

increasingly lame attempts at distraction, Rpeublicans have begun a "Scorched Earth" policy of mistruths, skewed statistics and outright lies, but the core principle of the Republican Party still is, and shall always be, "Blame the Victim".

Trolls such as the one you mention (there are scores of others, but I would lay money on the fact that if YA only allowed one ID in here, you would find only half a dozen morons with multiple IDs) are here for only two things:

1. Cheap attention (all any troll wants- ignore them and they wither and die from lack of attention, leading me to surmise Trolls are even more fragile than houseplants [probably why they're in Y/A whining, instead of Iraq, REALLY whining])
2. Misinformation. In my more parnoid moments these seemingly nonsensical questions take on a more sinister meaning. I begin thinking what could POSSIBLY be the motivation to post something so obviously false and easily refuted with true statistics and numbers? Could it be a cynical attempt to influence the "lazy thinkers" online, the ones who only look for others who confirm and validate their own antisocial thoughts, anyone who disagrees HAS to be aCommie, Pinko, Homo, Socialist, yadda yadda yadda...

Answer 5

They republican party seems to have been taken over by compulsive liars. Almost every thing they say is a lie. They are the party built on lies. If a conservative republican told me the sky was blue, I would have to go outside and look for my self because I would think they were lying.

Answer 6

The wealthy Bush supporters have something to gain, so it's understandable that they would support him. The middle income & poorer ones (like striker>..., the poster above) are just brainwashed, uneducated and/or misinformed. They are certainly not looking out for their best interests

Answer 7

I am amazed at this site. Libs can spew any garbarge they want without consequence. Yet, when a conservative states his views, his comments are censored. by the Yahoo website police. It's only a matter of time before the Nazi libs take over, turn us into a socialist country and force us to wear moveon.org lapels as loyal members of the "party" just like in Hitler's Germany.

And it is becoming more and more obvious that to a lib, the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth.

Answer 8

The cons think they need to lie to defend the truth. Sounds suspicious doesn't ? But not to a con. To them it makes perfect sense.

Answer 9

No man supports the GOP.

No man at all.

Answer 10

Any person who still supports Bush and the current Republicans is not a Conservative. They are rabid party loyalists whom will spin any lie to make themselves feel better in their twisted little fantasy world.
