Don't give me that "Lincoln was a republican, and he freed the slaves" crap.

Today's Republican party is NOTHING like that of Lincoln's time.

2. Todays republicans are the New Americanazis. They are evil, they are just
like the minions who served hitler.

It will take NATO in the streets of Washington DC to remove them from power. Protect yourselves and your family.

12. I want the old Republican Party back. The cabal which took over
the party today are greedy thugs.

Republicans should fight to get their party back.

18. Agreed...
there is always some use for stupid idiots...I mean who will we laugh at if these people didn't exist? I know I may extremely dislike alot of them, but I know deep down inside I would miss them...Heck I couldn't stand some who have passed on and went to hell within the last couple of years...yet for some freaky reason I miss them,I miss making the wise cracks and such...good times..

We would be better off. No more corporate welfare; no more nanny statism by telling people where, what kind and with whom to have sex; no more bluring the line between church and state with people who want to cotaminate and dominate both.

Sounds really good to me! :D

17. Yes....we need a break from them...like maybe 25 years?
I'm tired of them. At this point we have enough "DINO's" in the Dem Party to replace the Repugs....so let's send them out into the "Wilderness." I'm okay with that. :shrug:

Thanks for asking, though. :D

19. We'd be far worse off without Repuglicans of Teddy Roosevelt's era
During that time, all the hidebound, cigar chomping old farts trying to push the country toward feudalism were Democrats.

I think the proper question would be whether or not this country would be better off without the super rich, and the answer is an emphatic and unqualified YES.

Oh, we wouldn't be able to go on tour at Newport and laugh at the way they dismantled rooms in European castles and reassembled them here in an attempt to impress the former owners and Gates wouldn't have a mansion so huge I'm sure he hasn't visited all the rooms yet, but we'd have a large and stable middle class and a population that had health insurance, guaranteed pensions, child care, and all the other things our brethren all over the world take for granted.

It's the super rich and all the people they manage to scare and propagandize into voting against their own economic self interest who are the problem, not one party or the other. Both parties have been hijacked by rich scum in our history.
