Why more and more American people keep loosing confidence in Republican Party?

Answer 1

Because Republican party is a party of evil Bush and Cheney which keep destroying America.

Answer 2

What once was a grand old party has become ill. It has in the past when promoting guys like Useless Grant, Warren Harding, Ben Harrison but they seem to recover. It would be nice to bring back the party of Eisenhower. However since the neocons have hijacked the party their credibility has gone down the tubes. Also the neocons have created an atmosphere of animosity, hatretd, distain for cooperation, contempt for the Constitution, and support for lying, corruption and incompetence in the highest levels of government. Those neocons have nearly ruined the Republican party. Fortunately in a decade or so they will come back. Meanwhile the Democrats will move the country forward as they dominate both houses of Congress and the White House. Those few neocons in Congress will still buck the will of the people but sensible Republicans, the middle of the road, and true conservative Republicans will work with the Democrats to foster a spirit of compromise and doing the will of the people. They have had their chance to shine and blew it. Now it is somebody else's turn.

Answer 3

Because the party has been taken over by the Christian Right. They are pushing anti-abortion and anti-gay agendas to the exclusion of traditional Republican values.
Actually, they should be losing confidence in BOTH parties since neither works for the people. They both take their marching orders from the special interests, big corps, and partisan cigar puffers. Everything that is going wrong, or has gone wrong, has been under the watch of the two major parties. Cure would be for voters to go independent and start talking to each other instead of writing letters that get "canned" responses.....Anteater

Answer 4

Cal it displeasure with a white house and administration that believes that lying is the best policy. That feels that fear mongering is a good way to keep a populace in check. That believes in torture over human rights and that the wealthy should reap the benefits of the economy while everyone else goes bankrupt. Also toss in corruption, sex scandals, and the usual republican program of deceit and there you get the modern republican party.

Answer 5

Delphi,

But that's part of the Republican plan to silence your voice so that they can continue to feather their nests without you knowing. Ronald Reagan was the first one to start the "Government is the problem" line of BS.

I'd remind you that ours is a government of, by and for the people. If there's a problem with it, there's a problem with the people. In other words, we get the government we deserve.

Currently, it's being run by people like the hate-spewing right-wing trolls on this board. Take a step back and look at what they say. The very things they incessantly accuse liberals of are the very things they do everyday. They accuse liberals of hating America, but they are they ones that support the destruction of its very underpinnings, the Constitution, through suspension of habeas corpus and the establishment of an official religion. They claim to be pro-life but are anxious to drop a bomb on the head of anyone that they are told is "out to get them." This is a psychological phenomenon called "projection". It's a means of defending one's self by accusing your opposition of your own behavior, but your guilt shows through by the angry, hateful terms in which you make the accusation.

*Copying the Enemy*
And finally we come to what was certainly the most stunning, indeed, shocking aspect of Hofstadter’s study, namely, the process of psychological projection. The paranoid political advocate crafts a villainous enemy and imbues the enemy with horrendous traits. And to counter this, he crafts an organization which mimics the enemy and copies its traits.

" It is hard to resist the conclusion that this enemy is on many counts the projection of the self; both the ideal and the unacceptable aspects of the self are attributed to him. The enemy may be the cosmopolitan intellectual, but the paranoid will outdo him in the apparatus of scholarship, even of pedantry. Secret organizations set up to combat secret organizations give the same flattery. The Ku Klux Klan imitated Catholicism to the point of donning priestly vestments, developing an elaborate ritual and an equally elaborate hierarchy. The John Birch Society emulates Communist cells and quasi-secret operation through “front” groups, and preaches a ruthless prosecution of the ideological war along lines very similar to those it finds in the Communist enemy. Spokesmen of the various fundamentalist anti-Communist “crusades” openly express their admiration for the dedication and discipline the Communist cause calls forth."

Answer 6

A trillion down the toilet for nothing, war with no end in sight, nothing done about the "oil addiction", no health insurance for tens of millions and those who have it are ripped off, no REAL security (Dumbya wants to CUT funds for that), and corruption out the gazzoo... Halliburton, Blackwater, et al. Hey, if you didn't know WHO was responsible for that, wouldn't you want to fire them? Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!

Answer 7

I don't think it is just the the Republican party but government itself.

Answer 8

Because evil Republican Neocons lost any credibility with American people.

Answer 9

never really had much confidence in the republican party... but I think it might have something to do with the Bush family line.

Answer 10

Because they are ready for change and are blaming the republican party for backing the president with most issues.
