Is the Republican Party our ethical and possibly mortal enemy?

[Cyrano]

What would you call a political party that isn't there to make your life better?

What would you call a political party that demonizes you?

What would you call a political party that spits on you and tries to destroy everything you believe?

What would you call a political party that believes the Constitution can be ignored?

What would you call a political party that gets into power by peddling ignorance, bigotry and hatred?

What would you call a political party that doesn't care whether or not you starve, live, or die?

I would call them my enemy.

If you disagree with what I've said here, I'd sure like to hear your definition of the word "enemy."

[FiveGoodMen]

1. Definitely!

And so are all those who support their policies, regardless of nominal party affiliation.

In other words, a republican-at-heart is just as bad as the other kind.

2. Who do you consider the Republican party?

I know a lot of Republicans and conservatives that vote that way but are good friends of mine. We understand that we disagree politically and do not go there.

They are not the Republican party. I would leave out the name Republican and say corporatist or something like that. And yes I consider corporatists the enemy.

4. They May Be Your Friends, Sir, But They Are Stll Mortal Enemies Of the United States And Its People

"Friends don't let friends vote Republican."

12. Average Americans are not my enemy.

We are not in Civil War II.

I lived like people were my enemy for a long time and I don't have time for it anymore.

15. As The Song Says, Sir

"There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and those who say there isn't."

[county worker]

17. That's your life not mine

19. You Might Like The Song, Sir....

3. I know at least 40 members of the Senate who are my enemy. nt

[slay]

5. Yes, yes they are.

They are an enemy to ALL people of the USA, it's just that many of their voters are too stupid, greedy, and hateful to recognize it.

6. The Republican party

Has changed its image since Bush first became pResident. It has been taken over by extremists, and now the tea party has skimmed many of the ultra extremists off the top. It truly is us against them.

[Cyrano]

8. I don't know how old you are, but I can remember Reagan

and others before him.

Reagan was an amiable imbecile who Republicans (and many others)loved and a man who almost destroyed us economically and in so many other ways.

And regarding extremists, Nixon was a somewhat sane president regarding domestic policies, but a total extremist/madman regarding his criminal view of what he could and couldn't do to get reelected.

We could, of course, go further into the past and include the years of Joe McCarthy and the rest of the criminal/Mafia tactics of the Republican Party. But why bother. Most people won't take the time to learn history.

9. History was always my favorite

Subject in school. I know about those events you speak about, however, though we had crooked politicians, and extremists in some high places, I don't ever remember a time when common people on the street would rally against stuff that was considered to be an improvement to their lives.

There was also better education during those years, however since the 8 years of George Bush, and the emergence of Fox News and Right wing Radio, things have changed.

People against health care? Poor people against the Rich being taxed?

Our world has changed, since those days when Dwight Eisenhower or John F. Kennedy were President.

Back then Education was important. Bush allowed Education to fail.

Its true, if you don't educate the common people, then you can easily trick them into believing that something like Health care for all, ...is Evil.

7. Yes, alas, they are

Once upon a time there were some decent Repukes, like Jacob Javits, Kenneth Keating, Everett Dirksen, Charlie Halleck, Margaret Chase Smith, Maureen Neuberger, Henry Cabot Lodge, and (what the hell, why not?) Nelson and Winthrop Rockefeller. The current crop of Repukes has a little in common with them as we current Democrats have with Orville Faubus, George Wallace, and Lester Maddox.

10. I truly truly believe that the republican party and now joined by

tea bags are the enemy of the USA. If they weren't why do they block bills and legislation to help the people of this country. Instead they twist their shorts in a bunch because they can't help corporations enough. THEY ARE TREASONIST DOGS AND THEY ALWAYS WILL BE.

11. The Right is everybody's enemy

They have problems with South America

They have problems with Asia

They have problems with Russia

They have problems with feminists

They have problems with environmentalists

They have problems with animal rights activists

They have problems with non christian philosophies and religions

They have problems with atheists

They have problems with Hollywood

They have a problem with peace activists

Am I missing anyone?

[Cyrano]

13. Just allow me to add one thing. The right has a problem with human decency.

[quinnox]

14. Yes, today they are a bankrupt party both morally and ethically

and have been ever since Bush became president. There is always change, so although they are a bankrupt morally reprehensible party today, they could change some where down the line and become a better party.

[mikeSchmuckabee]

16. 100%

They can do without me, and I feel the same. It may not be as serious as matter vs. anti-matter, but they are bent on my destruction and I see no reason to feel otherwise towards them. And I mean pretty much every republican I meet, and I know many.

[AnArmyVeteran]

18. They want to destroy the President, destroy people & destroy our country.

They are the worse threat facing our country. They are far more dangerous than any foreign military, illegal aliens or even any terrorist group. Republicans want to destroy our country purely for political reasons so they can give away our treasury to the wealthy and corrupt corporations, like they did under Reagan, Bush-duh-First and Bush-duh-Second.
