53% of Americans Think Republicans are Too Extreme

[SniperFire]

I try not to let the talk on this site influence me to think most republicans feel like the republicans on here.

I think most of them recognize the extreme aspect of their party, and want to work to prevent those voices from driving the party.

You are an utter fool.

They are ruled by their extremists.

By whose definition of "extreme"?

The American people, Goldwater republicans, classic conservatives.

53% of Americans Think Republicans are Too Extreme

Only the ones that agree with the Republican Leadership. The others simply "voted white" because they hate having a president who is black.

The sad truth is you elected a socialist activist because he is black...

I bet your mother's proud...

And out comes the stupidity and ignorance. Be honest, your names really Joe Biden isn't it? The only people in this country obsessed with race are the democrats and the left wing MSM. When has anyone on the right said a damn thing about Obama being black? Noone has, it's a lie thrown out there for morons like yourself to buy into and repeat. And if you repeat it enough some even dumber assholes will actually believe it. Which is what helped get Obammie re-elected....that and voter fraud.

in other news, 47% of Americans have yet to be swayed by the bullshit spewed by the MSM...

That's the way to win elections!

What are you suggesting?? Republicans be more like Democrats??

Voters made the wrong decision. Hopefully they'll wise up in the future. End of story.

I have a feeling when everybodies taxes go up here in a few weeks they will realize just how bad they fucked up re-electing him, at least the ones with half a brain will, the rest will buy into the whole "It's the GOP's fault and the GOP's fault only line" and keep slurping the koolaid.

I've read several of your posts and I gotta ask... do you ever have anything intelligent to say...?

No, he doesn't, he is the typical leftwing moonbat, who claims there is so much racism out there without a shred of evidence to the contrary.

According to Goldwater republicans and "classic conservatives" (who are in actuality classical liberals) the neocons are extremist.....to the LEFT side.

There's nothing even remotely "conservative" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anymore) about interventionist foreign wars, nation building, creating new bureaucracies (EPA, OSHA, DHS, TSA were all created by republicans), new entitlement programs (Medicare D), sacking the OASI trust fund to buy votes, USAPATRIOT Act, NDAA, FISA, the idiotic federal "war" on (some) drugs, the list goes on and on and on.

And now they need to veer even more statist left, to prove that they're not "extreme" to the statist hard left?

The dems have done a much better job keeping their crazies in the closet over the last 2 years, if you can't see that, I can't help you.

As to Obama, he is a party man, who doesn't have the balls to stray from party lines in voting, and I wont get in to Pelosi except that if I had my way, she'd retire from politics.

Got too ask what do you deem crazy? Having principles and values willing to fight for them?

I don't think they need to veer left. At all. They need to practice what they preach and actually be limited government, fiscally conservative congressmen, not just when the other party is in office.

Don't leave out Harry Reid who is not only extreme in my view but the Senate Majority leader Pelosi is about as extreme as it gets I believe the Democrats just sent that radical nut job Alan Grayson back to Congress. The crazy extremist from the left don't get much attention not because the Democrats hide them but because the media ignores them the MSM refer to Republicans as part of the radical or extreme right a good bit yet you never hear Democrats being referred to as part of the extreme or radical left they are always portrayed as moderate or mainstream. There are radical and extremist in both parties but the fact is the press only likes to call attention to them in one party.

Of course, an even higher percentage see the Democrats as too extreme:

Republicans have lost 4 of the last 6 Presidential elections.

Republicans have lost 5 of the last 6 Presidential popular votes.

Republicans have lost moderates in 5 of the last 6 Presidential elections.

So I guess the answer might be "yes."

Or at least stop being a party so beholden to its base.

If anything became radical about the GOP it's when it got away from it's conservative principles and became moderate to leftist rinos. If anything, the base is pulling it back to the constitutional right where it belongs. You guys dont have to like it, but it is what it is.
The left have spent a century destroying the constitution, and none of you complained about that one bit. We plan to restore it, and to be honest dont give a rats ass what any of you think about it, especially if your a canuck.

It is not the medias job to make sure the American people have a clear understanding of who the republcian party is. The media will go wherever the ratings are, Boehner is a total failure, he has allowed dems to dominate the conversation and becuase of that and those loud nuts in the party, the GOP has been on the defensive constantly trying to combat bad press.

Just two years ago the Republicans picked up a historic amount seats in congress. Did they do that by being more like democrats? Of course not. These things are cyclical, but Democrats have fared better, not because their policies are in line what Americans want or believe, more so because of they Democrat's ground game, the media, and Hollywood.

A complicit media being the biggest factor of them all.

It is those people who are being deemed the "crazies" by the leftists, the media, and neocon sellout turds like Boner and McConnell.

I have this sick feeling that this time around, too many normal people who know Obama is a complete disaster just willingly threw in the towel and decided to vote for as much free shit they could get their hands on before it all caves in.

.

I suspect the public looks at the absolutist crazies in the GOP and projects their behavior to the rest of the party. Of course the Dems take full advantage, adding to the problem. They have plenty of opportunities to jump on stuff like "legitimate rape", can't blame them.

Marginalize the crazies and I bet that number drops.

.

The Democrats have had way more gaffs lately, but the media covers those up, they dont do the same for the GOP. The media has been the only factor in the last several years that has allowed democrats to run roughshod over our liberties and our constitution. If half the people that vote democrat recently knew what the hell was really going on, and what was really in this healthcare bill, they would shit there pants and probably never vote for a democrat elitist again.

Must be a skewed poll.

Someone get Dean Chambers on the case.

35% described themselves as Democrats 41% as Independents and 25% as Republican yeah that does seem a tad skewed.

I can't imagine why people aren't self-identifying as Republicans when polled. That's a head-scratcher!

Best to unskew to get more pleasant results. Worked for the Romney campaign.

You really think that many people changed parties in less than a month?

Or perhaps the pollsters didn't get a good representative cross-section. Yes, that seems far, FAR more likely.
