Republicans do realize why their party is doomed, right?

[emilynghiem]

I have been told that more votes were cast for Democrats than Republicans in the last election. If so, this is not a good prognosis for the GOP.

Dear jwoodie what WOULD be good
is for the parties to separate their BELIEFS from public policy,
and agree to QUIT using the legal, legislative or media process
to organize more opposition to fight each other.

Those resources are better invested in developing
programs supported by their own members
instead of trying to derail each other.

If whole parties of Hindus and Muslims, or Catholics and Protestants
spent billions of dollars trying to get majority control of legislatures so they
could pass THEIR policies THEY believe in, we'd call them out on
"separating religious policies from govt."

But with political beliefs, we don't seem to recognize these equally as religious beliefs.
We have been letting people and parties "bully" each other by coercion or exclusion,
when we would not let people do this with other beliefs RECOGNIZED as religious differences.

It's known that the GOP is easily the least popular party in the country right now. It's known that they're having jssues attracting votes outside of their target demographic (older US born conservative Christian straight white people). It's known that any given scandal committed by a GOP politician is going affect the party much more deeply and for a much longer time than were the same scandal to have committed by a the GOP politician's Democrat colleague. It only just recently dawned on me why all this is. It's not that the "media" is biased against you. Your media is far more inflammatory than theirs could hope to be. It's not that the Democrats don't play fair. Neither of you do. The problem is that people - the American public as a whole - just do not like you, both for what you say and how you say it.

They don't like your focus on counterterrorism. It comes across as fake when that work prevents them from ever being targeted by terrorist attacks. They don't like your focus on wars overseas. They see that they're always in oil producing nations, which makes it all too easy for your opposition party and hostile foreign actors to make them seem to be about stealing oil rather than the actual problem of containing political Islam. They don't like how you're still going on about Russia being a danger to ourselves and our European allies decades after the Cold War. They for damn sure don't like your economic positions. The public may be stupid on the whole but they understand exactly what you mean when you talk about "balancing the government checkbook" and they want none of it. They want their healthcare. They want their education. No, it really doesn't matter to them if their grandkids have to pay for it. And they will not let you take any of their entitlements away from them.

It goes even deeper than this incomplete list though. They just inherently do not like your values or the lifestyle you want everyone to live. The world has moved on without you. This is the era of broken homes and abortion clinics next to middle schools and you're still stuck in a version of the 50s that never really existed.

i suppose that 2014 might make them think that their party isn't as dead as the delusional democrats would like us to believe. You and other liberals believe what you post because you believe what you want to be the truth, not reality.

If by doomed you mean having 31 Republican governors, and total control of 27 state legislatures vs 5 for the democrats....yeah....right......

 

[Stephanie]

Democrats are in deep trouble. They have lost almost every election since 2008, except the top spot. They have depleted the ranks of the up and commers. The GOP controls the majority of governorships, state houses, and Congress. Dems have nothing.

Yep, but they can't accept that. so that is why so much hate, dirty politics and smears is flying already. it's sad and ALL over politics.

 

[Stephanie]

this left-wing nutcase seems to be unwittingly admitting most illegals in the country are from one demographic. cant illegals be white too leftard?

if so how can talking about the problem of illegals be "racist"?

they are programmed robots for the DNC.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Is it because Hillary has that new car smell?

 

[2aguy]

Nope. They don't have a clue.
While the Republicans work against the American people and the sovereignty of the country, while they're working so hard to bring us down and to give nuke weapons to our enemies,

You know that 16 million have health coverage they didn't want, and won't be able to afford, and eventually will be coverage in name only.......a climate deal with liars on an issue that is made up......an immigration plan that cuts into the American job market with people who don't love the culture or the country they are invading, and a lie of a deal with Iran that let's the greatest supporter of world terrorism get a nuclear weapon, ballistic missles and billions of dollars to fund the killing of innocent men, women and children around the world, and will lead to a nuclear arms race in the middle east, and an opening with communists murderers who have run Cuba so well that the people of Cuba would get on rubber tires to cross an ocean to escape it, marriage equality...at the expense of religious liberty? And 2.75 gas, using a method to get it he completely tried to stop, on land that he couldn't stop them from drilling on....and he has created isis and has with his horrible foreign policy has started the clock on a war with Iran, Russia and China........

Share if you are one of the really fucking stupid people who voted for him........

You do realize Hillary's polls are sliding, right? Looks like some people don't like her because she is not transparent and has a condescending attitude. Not to mention the fact that she's a sleazy liar. But, hey, as long as she promises more freebies she'll have some support.

If the wars were fought for oil, we would have cheap oil. We don't.

Yup, abortion clinics next to middle schools and liberals want young pre-teen girls to have access to abortions and birth control, including ones surgically implanted, without parental consent. I guess the libs will be there when something goes wrong and a young girl dies during a botched abortion or has serious medical problems from birth control. Oh yea, you don't care about that. As long as you can tell parents that you don't like the way they live and take over their responsibility as parents behind their back, you'll do it without caring that you are imposing your beliefs on others and couldn't care less about the consequences of those actions. It's all about you and how you think things should work. You are intent on stripping people of their rights and telling them what to do in every circumstance. Freedom of choice, my ass.

You guys are the ones who tell Christians that they can't follow their faith and must change the way they live and do business to suit your beliefs. You have no problem imposing your will on others and telling them what to do. If they don't believe as you do, you don't think they deserve to make a living running their own business. That is a luxury reserved for people who think the way liberals do.

You guys are the ones who forced people to purchase insurance and those who had it ended up paying more just so a few people could get subsidized plans. Gee, we could have expanded Medicare and Medicaid and got the same results, but you wanted to impose your will on the people and force them against their will to buy what you think they should have.

Too many useful idiots will go along with anything just to be given things for free and are too stupid to realize that we are on an unsustainable course.

Of course, the left can usually count on votes from illegal aliens, and they do vote. Thanks to motor voter registration, licenses given to them by some states and no system in place to verify citizenship, there are enough illegals to alter the outcome of elections.

It's the left that is telling people how to live. While everyone is entitled to voice their opinions, liberals in government make laws to match their opinions. You guys have everyone feeling entitled to this or that just because they exist and you have no respect for the true entitlements, such as military pensions or social security that people actually spent years earning. Those things are always under threat of cuts or being stopped in the future, but welfare entitlements will never be threatened. To add to the free phones, the left wants to give away free internet. Of course, that will mean free computers. If the right is doomed, it's only because the number of idiots depending on nanny government will someday outnumber the people footing the bill. If the far left wins, the entire country loses.

I don't know if one world order is the endgame but we are headed there. Equal misery is in the future if the Republicans don't grow a set and take control.

I am not a fan of Trump...too many questions about where his beliefs actually are.....but he sure knows how to fight the press and the democrats...as well as the morons in the establishment republican machine.......if nothing else.....as Lincoln said of Grant....."He Fights!"

The Actual Quote....

When I had said everything that could be said from my standpoint, we lapsed into silence. Lincoln remained silent for what seemed a very long time. He then gathered himself up in his chair and said in a tone of earnestness that I shall never forget: 'I can't spare this man; he fights.'"10

I heard the GOP was doomed after Nixon resigned.

I heard the Democratic party was doomed when Reagan won 49 states.

I heard the GOP was doomed when the Democrats owned both Houses of Congress and the White House in Clinton's first term.

I heard the Democrats were doomed when the Republicans owned both Houses of Congress and the White House in Bush's first term.


GUESS WHAT?!?!

Your facts are correct but are those prior to presidential elections?

 

[FA_Q2]

Uhhhhhh, 31 states have Republican governors. 31 out of 50. You can't gerrymander a governor's election, because it's statewide. 31 out of 50.

Republicans also control one or both chambers in 31 state legislatures.

Republicans just took over Congress in one of the biggest turnarounds in American history in the 2014 mid-term elections.

Forgive me if I don't see a doomed party in a party that controls 31 state governments and that just scored a historic mid-term victory.

With the Democratic base so radicalized and crazy that they're offended if you say "all lives matter," I would be more worried about the Democratic Party than about the GOP.

If you’re content being a local party only, so be it – where the GOP is irrelevant on the National level, unable to consistently win General Elections.

More blathering.

You do realize that the republicans hold both the house and the senate correct? Do you not know that those are national bodies rather than local ones?

No, of course not - you cannot see past the glitz and shine that is the POTUS - that is all that matters to the partisans.
