Why cant I get a straight an honest answer from any republican

[cstanleytech]

on any other forum? All I ask them roughly is in what policies will McCain do different than Bush has done and not one will answer, I kid you not.
They will post something about obama or clinton or just about anything about anyone else but they will not answer that question about McCains policies, nope not a one.

1. I doubt they even know what Bush's polices are.

And the sure wouldn't know how McCain differs (McCain is a bit more hawkish). They just know a long time ago the chose the republican team, and every 4 years they paint their faces and go yell in the stands.

2. Because they can't

The only thing McCain will do different than Bush is sign bills with ... actually, I was going to say with a different number of characters but there are the same number of characters in their names (although McSame probably uses III which adds 3 characters) ... a different name.

3. Rhetorical Question?

:shrug:

They're on autopilot. They HAVE NO ANSWERS.

4. Asking a bit much, aren't you?

5. How can they when all they know are smears, lies and BS about the opposition?

That's what the Republicans are-- they define themselves as the anti-Democrats but they don't even know who they themselves are.

6. No brain cell connections?

7. It seems like it's a combination of an authoritarian social structure,

and willful ignorance. They are fearful of accidentally contradicting their superiors. Fascist psychology is an interesting thing - can anyone recommend a good book?

8. You expect straight and honest answers from Repubs?

:rofl:

Thanks, I needed that.

10. I find the same thing happening

my question: How does the mccain-palin policies/proposals differ from bush-cheney?

the answers:

"well, Obamma ________"
"but, Obaman _______"
"Obama's is _______"
"under Clinton _________"
"Clinton did _______"

when I press them further with "I know how Obama's policies/propsals are different, what I'm asking is what is the difference between mccain-palin and bush-cheney?"

I get a blank stare and:

"well, Obamma ________"
"but, Obaman _______"
"Obama's is _______"
"under Clinton _________"
"Clinton did _______"

11. Would you expect a person who lies to himself, to be truthful with...

anyone else?

12. Witness ANY e-mail I've EVER seen from ANY Republican't.

You'll not find A SINGLE THING about why their candidate is better. EVER.

All they are is conditioned to think that things will be far, FAR worse under a Democrat.

Witness Push Polls about their opposing candidate. Republicans aren't about stating why their candidate is better, especially THIS election. Their ace-in-the-hole Bewsh has been an abysmal failure, as was Reagan, as was his Dad, as was Nixon. Republican presidents didn't get where they are because of their laurels. Republicans get where they are because America LIKES MEANNESS.

I'm telling you, those corporations buying up all of the media outlets in the 90s killed us. You have to control people via a common, simple message, which is why you have news tickers and factiods: make their attention span that of a hummingbird. This way, they might not notice it when you're screwing them.

Another thing you have to do is make college and higher education (and voting) in general less accessible and harder to attain. This is a nation of easily manipulated doorknobs, and if they become smart, there goes the GOP way of life.

13. It's their tactic

When they know they are wrong, or backed into a corner, they distract.

They identified and Repukes at some point, and think they must be right all the time. This actually trumps their real economic and other interests.
