Are these normal republican beliefs?

Question

According to Hannity the following are prerequisites in order to be a viable candidate
1. A person would not be considered to represent their party without at least a Master's Degree in "something"?
2. A person would not be considered to represent their party without at least serving 2 terms in the House or Senate? (for the required experience)
3. A woman should stay at home with her children until they are out of school?
4. A person should have attained some sort of "accomplishment" either in the business world or political world in order to be considered for the Presidency?

Hannity is not a conservative> BS

That Guy: Then a woman cannot be elected President accirding to those beliefs.

Pfo...a degree isn't required? My rectum!!!! Just try to un on either ticket without one you will get laughed out of the room!

With those prerequisites Republicans could NEVER elect a woman. There simply is not enough time to attain all of those goals before preparing yourself to be President.

If Bush had to get into a college based entirely on merit he'd still be in High School

Republicans talk out of both sides of their mouth...if another one is elected I will move overseas

Answer 1

And asking someone to be qualified for the most powerful position in the world is a bad thing? Yes, I think the leader of the free world should be educated, have experience in politics and should have leadership and management skills.

On the woman answer.... if she is able to do it by all means yes. Some just can't afford to... but when you can it is important to put time into your children. Is that not worth doing? They are your children and they are the future. Wouldn't you think it wise to have a parent actually raise them?

Why not? I didn't live with my parents forever. People do have lives after children. You can't be elected until what... you are 35 at the very least... right????

Democrats are never truthfull.... you know you won't move in 08'.... you and Mr. Baldwin

Answer 2

Sean Hannity is an a$$hole. Who care what he thinks. But as for whether or not those are normal Republican beliefs, that's hard to say. Over the last decade or so, the Republican Party has morphed into something completely different than what it traditionally was. I don't think you could truly even define most of the Republican leadership as "conservative", in the mold of Barry Goldwater, who is known as the father of conservatism. Heck, if he were still alive today, I don't think Barry Goldwater would be welcome in the Republican Party anymore!

That said, I don't know about #1 or #2, but I think a lot of today's Republicans would probably agree with #3 and #4.


Also, keep in mind that Hannity's favorite guy, George W. Bush, failed #2, as he was only a governor. I'm not sure about #1 either. I know he graduated Yale, but I think it might have just been with a Bachelor's degree, not a Master's.

Answer 3

There must be something missing here. Does this all pertain to the Presidency. If so, my responses.

1. No. I have known some people with PhDs that have no concept of what goes on outside their area of expetise. I would not want education to be the sole criteria for a president.

2. I would accept multi term Governors, Mayors, and Senators, or someone with multi terms as a Rep Gov, Sen combo, but not just 2 terms (4 years)as a Rep, that isn't even the same experience as 1 term (6 years) as Senator.

3. A woman should do whatever she (legally) can to be as fulfilled as she would like.

4. A person should have recognition if they hope to get elected.

Answer 4

1. I don't think it is a belief. But a fact that Presidents hold graduate degrees in this day and age.



2. I would say again that's not a belief but more a fact of present Presidential politics. But historically Senators do not do well in Presidential elections because it is not an executive office. House and Senate members are looking for a con census, Executive offices require leadership.

3. I would say that Republicans want someone to stay home, regardless of sex.

4. Again, this is not a belief, but more of a fact of current Presidential politics. Experience is important to the electorate.

Answer 5

1) No, I have met some real dumb selfish educated people.
2) Sounds good you would not hire a auto mechanic to preform heart surgery so why would we vote for someone that was a CEO of a corporation.
3)A man or women cannot stay home with the kids because the gap between the rich and poor is to far since Reagan and conservative economics.
4) Yes a good resume helps.

Answer 6

Republicans have varying standards depending on who they're applying them to. For decades they said that a man who'd been divorced had no chance at being president, but when Reagan came along suddenly that didn't matter. Can you imagine if a Democratic candidate had a drunk driving conviction? They'd say that should disqualify someone. But if Bush has one, well that doesn't really matter. A lot of conservatives believe a president should have military experience, since he's going to be commander-in-chief of the armed forces. But if it's a Republican, well that's not important.

Answer 7

The only one that I would consider would be #4.
A person would have to show that they have accomplished something that would lead us to believe they have the ability to handle the responsibilities of President. I would hope that anyone, regardless of political party, would look for that in a candidate.

As a note, in the US Armed Forces today, it is almost a requirement to have a MBA if you want to be promoted above the rank of Major.

Answer 8

1) Considering Conservatives tend to roll up their sleeves and work vs. engage in perpetual schooling like the libs, this is ridiculous. I doubt many 35 year-old students are Republicans...
2) Isn't serving in Congress considered representing your party?
3) Probably not, although conservative women are more likely to make the decision to raise their own kids rather than pawn off the responsibility on someone else.
4) Your apparent disdain for accomplishment is amusing.

Answer 9

First you have to realize who owns FOX news. It's Rupert Murdoch. Secondly, Guliani has ties to FOX news, and they are trying to push him out as the front runner in the Republican election.
I think a more accurate barometer of what person would make a good president would be having to have them go thru extensive psychological testing, with results made available to the public.
These ideologies being put forth by FOX are sexist.

Answer 10

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.
