Is republicanism nothing but flowery speeches, negativity, and the promotion of liberal stereotypes?

[teapartysamurai]

Well, that is something to look forward to. The conservatives doing to the US economy what they have already done to the Kansas economy....

Looks like I have to blow this LIEberal myth again. May I point out that the liberal utopias of New York AND Michigan (think Detroit) are doing POORER THAN KANSAS.

When you idiot liberals try to claim a Red State is doing bad because of Republican policies you IDIOTS forget there are BLUE STATES DOING FAR WORSE.

You guys always seem to think we don't have computers and can't point that out. You have no brains, just propaganda.

Whatever is wrong with New York and Michigan took 40 years or more to happen. Kansas has dropped into the shit can starting the month that the Tea Party won the governor's race last election.

Oh please! Nice try. But there are blue states WAY under Kansas!

Keep making excuses.

 

[Freemason9]

Republicans believe in the sanctity of human life so long as it hasn't yet left the vagina.

 

[Billy000]

It seems like that's all republican officials have to offer. They give flowery speeches with words like "freedom", "constitution", and "free market" repeated over and over until the tea baggers cream themselves.

From there they bitch and whine about Obama, socialism, and ObamaCare.

Where is the substance? Where is the specific planning they have for the country to better it? They go on and on about creating jobs, but they never come up with specific policies to do it. When they finally do make it to office they cut taxes for the wealthy and nothing happens except for more national debt.

Once again I ask, WHY vote republican? Give me specific reasons why i should vote republican.

Two weeks before the election and what do we already hear from liberals?

Just wait until AFTER the election. If it's the Democrat slaughter predicted, then expect all the claims of vote fraud (because apparently their vote fraud didn't work) and conspiracy crap.

Nothing says sore loser like a liberal who thinks liberals will be out of power.

Hey I'm not in denial. Repubs probably will take the senate. Why? Because Americans are stupid. Republicans have 75% disapproval ratings and not a single thing to offer the country as a whole.

That list is complete bulkshit! It is based upon supply side economics. It has a complete rightwing bias. It's based on projection! California's ranking should be your first clue. Are you shitting me?

Here is an actual list we can trust. Kansas is at 28. Michigan at 16.

I have to point out that you did not mention the main agenda item for the republicans. Fear mongering. Are we all infected with Ebola that Obama is having brought into the country by ISIS through the Mexican border yet?

So essentially it's all deregulation and getting rid of taxes. News flash: deregulation will do very little to stimulate economic growth. The investment class is doing better than ever. You want to improve the economy? Stimulate the middle class. I don't see any of that.

News flash: deregulation will do very little to stimulate economic growth.

Right, because regulations are cost free. Idjit.

You want to improve the economy? Stimulate the middle class.

Getting rid of harmful and idiotic regs never helps the middle class? Moron.

Regulations are necessary. Mitt Romney himself would tell you that. Again, the investment class is thriving. Republicans won't do jack shit for this country.

Yeah and we all know supply side doesn't work!

Just look at Reagan's unemployment rates vs. Obama's!

This argument has glaring flaws, the most obvious of which (from a statistical point of view) is that the labor force participation rate has collapsed under Obama, while it surged under Reagan, rendering any kind of comparison of unemployment rates inoperable. The bald economic growth numbers, for their part, are double in the Reagan (20.3%) than in the Obama (9.7%) case.

The deeper flaw in the comparison concerns history and precedent. Obama took office as the economy was in “free fall” (as some say), free fall from a long period of mediocrity. At the very peak of the George W. Bush expansion in the summer of 2008, the economy had grown all of 1.9% per year since the 2000 peak. In the six years since the summer of 2008, the economy has grown 1.1% per year. The long period of mediocrity, at least as goes the favorite macroeconomic statistic (GDP), that preceded Barack Obama has only become entrenched at worse levels in the years of this presidency.

1.9% per year was in fact the yearly growth rate in the nine-and-a-half year period that preceded the implementation of Ronald Reagan’s economic policies. From the peak in mid-1973 until the trough at the end of 1982, that was the number, basically the same thing that President Obama would have to deal with on assuming office in 2009.

However, in Reagan’s case, 1973-82 also saw a whopping 120% increase in consumer prices (8.3% per year), a doubling of the unemployment rate (in the context of increased labor-force participation) to near 11%, stocks down a quarter in nominal and two-thirds in real terms, a soaring of the prime rate past 20%, and oil up 14-fold in price.

The Obama-Reagan Comparison Does O. No Favors - Forbes

Read it all. The fact is Reagan outperformed Obama on all fronts.

The only way liberals can say otherwise is to play with the stats. But when an HONEST COMPARISON is done, it shows that "supply side" economics worked and Obama is just another failed Carter.

Yeah that's an old saw, but considering the murder rates in liberal enclaves like Chicago and Detroit, can be blown away by the real numbers.

Keep trying.

 

[Dan Daly]

You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

"Republicanism is the ideology of governing a society or state as a republic (la. res publica), where the head of state is a representative of the people who hold popular sovereignty rather than the people being subjects of the head of state."

Sooo, do you consider yourself a subject of the President? Based on their recent track records, both major parties seem to think we peons are their subjects, rather than their employers.

Oh and to answer your question, voting for anyone based on party affiliation alone is for fools and party hacks.

 

[teapartysamurai]

It seems like that's all republican officials have to offer. They give flowery speeches with words like "freedom", "constitution", and "free market" repeated over and over until the tea baggers cream themselves.

Because the whole premise is a lie.

When you cut taxes, they get cut for EVERYONE.

You just can't stand that people might have more money to spend AS THEY CHOOSE rather than the government taking it all away.

Funny how liberals are for "CHOICE" unless they choose to actually let a baby live, vote for the candidate of their choice, own a gun, keep more of the money they earn, or speak their mind. Then liberals are against choice all the way

So you feel that it's only the Democrats who feel that they are subjects of the head of state, rather than both major parties? Nice. I'm sure the DNC appreciates it!

10.3 million jobs were created under Obama. The labor participation was falling before Obama came to office. Why was that exactly? We lost 8 million jobs from the Great Recession.

There is no proof tax cuts had anything to do with it. Tell me, how do you explain Bush's horrible job growth?

Obama's stimulus package created almost 3 million jobs according to the CBO. That's 3x as many jobs in both of Bush's terms.
