Republicans believe that education should be cheap (unless iit's for their kids)
Republicans believe that health care is a luxury for only the welll to do
Republicans are convinced that all they have is theirs to keep, and they owe nothing to anyone..before or after them
Republicans are the instant gratification party. Patience is no virtue to them (except for things like taking over the media)
Republicans look for others to blame for their failures
Republicans never make "adult" mistakes.. All mistakes are "youthful", no matter what the age of the perpetrator of said mistake.
Republicans are friends as long as they call all the shots. Any sign of dissent is rewarded by an unleashing of vitriol and vengeful abuse.
Republicans hold grudges dearer to their hearts than they do their children

Democrats are willing to work hard, play fair, and share what they have.

Republicans want their money to work hard for them, lie and steal to get even more, and they do not share..

They are very much the toddler for their whole lives..

Me...Mine....No... Mommmmmmy!!!!....Dadddddy!!!!

They make messes at will, and expect others to clean up after them. They pick fights, which then then run from, and send someone else to do their fighting.
They spend other people's money, and then lie when they are confronted.

They do not exhibit adult behavior.

1. Stop insulting children like that

the ones I know are caring and friendly.

[SoCalDem]

5. Children, by their nature, are selfish..

It's not a slam against them.. it;s just the truth..

after we have helped them grow up, and taught them how to be caring, they grow out of their selfish ways :)

7. wellllllllll, actually..........

When my son was still a toddler himself, and just able to get around on his own power, he would hear a baby crying somewhere, and go to it, and try to comfort the baby.

I certainly didn't teach him that.

Would that the RWers had a toddler's compassion........

8. Mine did that too..

But nature intended for babies & children to be selfish..It's a survival instinct :)

[Kanary]

10. By that definition, we're all selfish. Survival characteristic.

I really don't think children are more "selfish" than adults.

But, other than that, your list is quite on target. :)

4. Republicans are children?

It was always my understanding that adults who have the mental capacity of a first grader (no offense to first graders) are retarded. Repubs are retards!!!!!

[SoCalDem]

19. I think repubes have less to offer than that

:P

By the time a kid is in first grade they know how to share

[Swede]

6. Republicans know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde.

15. Wow, that's a great quote

9. George Bush is the perfect Head

of the - If It Feels Good Do It With No Consequences Party.

14. identity politics and maturity

I noticed, whilst reading a freeper guide to why liberals are two
faced nasties, the strong identity-binding of these folks, and they
presume that liberal people similarly are deeply identified with
the democratic party or liberalism in the same way they are
identified with their puerile immaturity.

I so reminds me of teenagers who discover an identity that separates
them from their parents. In that puberty, having someting to
wedge in between, is somehow a step in growing up to being a
separate free willed adult... and i myself took the path of strong
identification with my teenage cults. Whilst in that mindset,
it is near impossible to conceive of people who do not have a
need to be identified with anything in particular, that maturity to
be simply alive and happy has not yet sprouted.

I've noticed in arguing with some of these freeps on other boards,
that they try to get me angry by insulting what they think is my
identity-cult, be it "libbies" (liberals), "dumbos" (democrats) or
"cowards" (people who served in the US military) - a very ironic
twist for chickenhawks to use considering their own record of not
serving... "communists" "socialists" "faggots" the attempt is to
corner a mature person in to having the same narrow self-identification
as they themselves, and then to insult and destroy that cult
rhetorically.

What is so dang consistent is the puerile need to be in a cult at
all, and, in my view, that is the defining characteristic of
republicans.

[smirkymonkey]

16. That is so true - everyone I know who is a

republican seems to be a case of arrested development.

One striking similarity between them is that none of them have completely separated from their parents in a healthy or mature way. They are still being run by their old authoritative scripts.

17. Waiting for Mommy & Daddy to croak and leave them some money

or dancing to Mommy & Daddy's tune because they're too immature to be on their own :)
