Survey For Republicans

[DiveCon]

Yeah they should become real conservative, you know the type that want smaller government and the type going for liberty (which is what i'm told real conservatives ought to be), not some stupid Jesus freaks.

that is a false characterization of what the reality is

Then what is the reality?

most "Jesus freaks" as you call them, dont even care about politics
there are Christians that do
and most of them are conservative
being a Christian usually has nothing to do with their political views

and they are religious liberals too
most worship at the feet of AlGore
why dont you knock THOSE religuious bigots as well?

They are marked with the red D, so he "passes over" them.

When I say Jesus freaks I mean the ones who seemingly only talk about or only care about religion, the kind who preach it all the blessed time. This not counting priests or bishops or the like. Basically religious nuts. Yes not all get into politics but the ones that do and try to inject in their view of the Bible as much as possible those are the types that the Republicans should drop.

Anyway bashing Al Gore worshippers is a little irrelevant to this thread but yes they do exist and they're pretty sad.

Sorry that would be about 1% of the Christians I know if that.

But they exist although perhaps their numbers are smaller then I give them credit for.

you see them in the media
and they only show the things without explaining what is actually happening, so you assume they are giving you an accurate representation

i will always assume they are giving a dishonest representation

but thats ME

I got this survey from the RNC and I thought It'd be interesting to see your replies.

1. Why did Republicans lose the White House and Congressional seats in the 2008 elections? Check all that apply.

Iraq War
Poor Economy
Government's Response to Katrina
Republican Scandals PICK THIS ONE!!!!!!!
Republicans acted like Democrats
President Bush's policies
Liberal Media
Other:

People were tired of Bush.

2. What are the key strengths and beliefs of the Republican Party that we can build on? Check all that apply.

Social Issues
Family Values
Ethics
Free Markets
National Security
Fiscal Discipline
Limited Government
Personal Responsibility
Pro-Life
Other: HAVE THE BALLS TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS AFTER THE LAST 8 YEARS (HOPE PEOPLE FORGET)

All except your partisan trash answer.

3. What are the weaknesses of the Republican Party? Check all that apply.

Bad Messaging
Poor Response to Democrats
Republicans who don't vote like Republicans
Standing Up for Principles
Need to Lead in Congress
Other: EVEN THE UNDER INFORMED PUBLIC COULD SMELL THAT YOU STANK!!!!

Probably: standing up for principles, but that's not the fault of voters as much as the reps in congress.

4&5 Boring questions so to shorten this...

Your partisanship is showing. Give all the questions or admit to being a hack.

6. What can the Republican Party do to earn and maintain your trust? STOP WITH THE SOCIAL DIVISIVENESS AND ACTUALLY BE CONSERVATIVES. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN SPEND ALL OUR MONEY ON WAR AND CUT OFF POOR AMERICANS WHILE GIVING TAX BREAKS TO THE TOP 1%.

Be conservative.

Part II. Domestic and Social Issues
1. A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialism. Do you agree or disagree? OH BROTHER!

25% isn't a majority, do what the 75% of the people want.

2. Which do you believe creates more jobs for the American economy: Government Programs and Spending or The American Free Enterprise System? COMBINATION OF BOTH. IT ISN'T ONE OR THE OTHER. CHICKEN & EGG

Free enterprise.

3. The Obama Administration has proposed spending as much as $1.5 trillion to bail out the banking industry. Do you agree or disagree with this proposal? HE DIDN'T PROPOSE IT, THE BANKERS THAT RUN THIS COUNTRY PROPOSED IT. YOU READY TO STAND UP TO THEM? LET OBAMA KNOW.

Let them fail.

4. Do you oppose so-called "card-check" legislation, which eliminates secret ballot elections during unionization drives and puts workers at risk of intimidation by labor bosses? 8% ARE UNIONS, 60% OF US WANT TO BE IN UNIONS. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR THE OTHER 52% TO BECOME UNIONIZED?

Unions suck. Look at how they killed the US auto industry.

5. Should Republicans unite to block new federal government bureaucracy and red tape that will crush future economic growth? NO

WTF? I want a link to this survey.

6. Should Republicans in Congress oppose the new wasteful government spending programs passed in the recent "stimulus" bill by the Pelosi-Reid Democrats designed to "spread the wealth"? NO

Of course.

7. Do you agree that we must secure our borders to stop illegal immigration? YES

Couldn't hurt.

8. Should we do everything we can to block Democrats who are trying to shut down conservative talk radio with the so-called "fairness doctrine"? NO

Yes. At least until we get rid of the 1st amendment.

9. Should we resist Barack Obama's proposal to spend billions of federal taxpayer dollars to pay "volunteers" who perform his chosen tasks? NO

Yes, volunteers aren't supposed to be paid. If they are "volunteer" is the wrong word to describe them.

10. Should Republicans unite in opposition to judicial nominees who bring a personal, left-wing agenda on social issues to their jobs as judges? NO

Yes, the whole idea of biased judges is unAmerican, IMO.

11. Should bureaucrats in Washington, DC be in charge of making your health care choices instead of you and your doctor? YES

OMG.

Part III. Homeland Security and Defense Issues
1. If Barack Obama tries to gut the USA PATRIOT Act and other important laws that promote the safety and security of all Americans, should Republicans in Congress fight back? NO

Yes.

2. Should we stop Democrat leaders from cutting funding from our intelligence agencies or bringing back Clinton-era restrictions on inter-agency communications? NO

Yes.

3. Do you support the use of air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on America? YES

Yes

4. Should Republicans unite in support of full funding for border and port security when Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid try to make cuts in these areas? NO

Yes

5. Do you think U.S. troops should have to serve under United Nations' commanders? NO, BUT THEY DO, SO DON'T MAKE AN ISSUE OF IT NOW.

No. We're Americans, we shouldn't be taking orders from anyone except Americans.

6. Do you agree that our top military priority should be fighting terrorists? YES

Yes, unless something more pressing comes along.

7. Should we fight military-cutting efforts in Congress, such as the proposal from liberal Barney Frank to slash the Pentagon budget by 25%? NO. CUTTING WASTEFUL SPENDING IS GOOD.

No, Barney is an idiot.

8. Even though Barack Obama pledged to meet personally with the likes of Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, should Republicans continue to focus on supporting democratic movements in oppressive states like Cuba, Venezuela and Iran? HUH?

Yes.

Sealy your long form answers show what a partisan you really are. It's hard to believe you really want what's best for America, you sound like you're ready to hand the place over to whoever might want it for whatever purpose they might have in mind. It's disturbing to think that you really believe some of the things you wrote.

He may be partisan but you sure sound like a hack. "You must not support America and want to see her downfall because your opinions are the direct opposite of mine". Come on you can't possibly believe that tripe.

Maybe you didn't read Sealy's answers.

There is also the question of the legitimacy of the survey... does someone that wants what's best for America really make up partisan tripe and constantly post in a divisive manner? I don't think so. My reply wasn't based on Sealy not being in agreement with me, it was based on my belief that we would be a lot better off finding common ground than trying to drive wedges between us.

.

Why did so many GOP Senators lose their seats? And not one Democratic Encumbant lost their seat in 2006 or 2008.

I'll tell you why. Because they went along with Bush 97% of the time.

And I got this survey directly from Michael Steele @ the RNC.

I'll bet you anything you are a die hard Republican. Either that or you are clueless to the game that is politics.

Did he slip it to you in an underground parking garage?

 

[Tech_Esq]

1) Marxist-Liberal media

2) Pro-Iraq war and anti-abortion

3) They didn't make a play for the hip-hop vote.

I got news for you. It isn't a liberal media. Just look at the whole Kramer/CNBC thing. I'm sure you would have said that Kramer was a liberal, and certainly you would have said NBC was. But look at how they were working for the Wallstreet Bankers.

And I love you Republicans who now try to say it is the Dems who are more in bed with corporations and lobbyists, just because we have control of the government. Of course now we get more $. Why give it to Boehner or Jindal or Palin. So she can go shopping?

So it took the Daily Show to expose the myth that CNBC was a liberal station. So you can now say that Comedy Central is part of the liberal media, but you can not put CNBC on that list.

Do you accept it when I tell you that Chris Matthews is a Conservative? Well then don't tell me who our liberals are. We'll decide who represents us.

And where are our liberal Bill O'Reilly's, Rush's, Beck's & Hannity's?? If the media is liberal, where are our versions of these asses?

But what MSNBC does is smart. They have Chris Matthews say a few liberal things, like Obama sent chills up his leg, and now he's apparently a liberal????

Have you ever heard one of his interviews? He doesn't call out the GOP. But I do hear him call out the Dems. And he gives the GOP all the air time they need. So even if he is a liberal himself, conservatives own and run his show/station.

The Financial Meltdown & Media Deregulation Connection

Great article that might wake you up a little to reality.

Bobo,

Do you know who Thomas P. O'Neil is? Chris Matthews was his Chief of Staff. Do you suppose a Liberal Democrat Speaker of the House from Massachusetts had a conservative or a Republican as his Chief of Staff?

PLEASE!

Come to the table with at least some facts.

 

[Tech_Esq]

First Obama isn't lowering anybodies taxes any m ore than he ended earmarks for all time.

Obama never said he was ending earmarks. And go ahead and look on the IRS website, the new tax tables have been released and everyone got a tax cut.

Well, this is what he said he would do, as compared to what he actually has done.

Politifact Obamameter

Obama replied, "John, nobody is denying that $18 billion is important. And, absolutely, we need earmark reform . And when I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely."
