What is the Real Reason for the Republican lust for Power?

[opihimoimoi]

Judging by the evidence, it sure ain't to do good for Americans, their kids, and the Future.

[izzie]

1. Ever know a person that knew he was right?

They sure want you to know it and do as they say. My father used to tell me.'I have learned that this may be the right way to do things, as I have lived a long time, but you my dear will have to do and think what is right on your own."If you come from a family like that it is very hard to do as people say until you think they are right and you have tested it for your self.Republican seem to think they are right so you should get in line with the other sheep. It is not to my liking at all.

[opihimoimoi]

7. Your father was a wise man. The Pubs want it THEIR WAY all the time

[rfranklin]

2. They cannot tolerate uncertainty...

Which is why they cannot tolerate diversity. They are paranoid and their golden rule is "do unto others before they do it to you." If someone else has a dollar in their pocket, they believe it is theirs. They will steal that dollar from you through subterfuge, bribery or outright theft. They will then tell you that their crime is your fault because you were "weak on defense."

[opihimoimoi]

9. Deceptive rationalization

The Pubs are very good at this cuz they ain't the Nelsons, the O & M

[opihimoimoi]

20. OOps. Ozzie and Harriet

[DeepModem Mom]

3. Greed, and contempt for people unlike themselves --

[opihimoimoi]

10. They hardly know the meaning it seems or, they know no shame

by deflecting guilt with denial.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Anytime you know you are absolutely right

and never question your actions, you can be sure the Nafs (ego) are in control.

[rucky]

5. #1 & #2

stabilize = control

and pave the way for the Rapture

[opihimoimoi]

13. Rapture?? Yup, too many of them do not plan nor think of the Future

as they hold the belief God will come to save our miserable asses.

Only if we ask for redemption I guess.

[DemBones DemBones]

6. How about "They are overcompensating for being underendowed?"

To put it as politely as possible. :-)

[opihimoimoi]

12. The Pub Wannabe leaders want to lead cuz they point to where and how

work has to be done and the sheep/hirelings do it.

[dawg]

16. Does the inverse of your assumption also apply?

If not, can't we at least pretend like it does?

[GOPisEvil]

8. Scarface.

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."

[opihimoimoi]

11. Yup, then many of them get girl friends , or dump the first to get

trophy wife, read Anna Nicole baby

[hatrack]

14. How about "Bypassed by Sexual Revolution, Now Out For Vengeance"?

I mean, DSB could account for the behavior of male GOPukers, though I'm puzzled by the phenomenon of female party stalwarts.

[opihimoimoi]

19. The female Pubs are in it for the fame and treasure. They on the same

level as Anna Nicole Smith, 'cept Anna got her own TV Show and the Pub Whores are wannabees.

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

15. So they can impose their twisted views on everyone

[opihimoimoi]

17. Their twisted views?? like 85769781 for Them and .000364 for us?

thats about it. Those arte very selfish people we dealing with. They want all the attention, they never ever say anything GOOD about the Dems, and worse, always whining. Sounds like a 747 jet up close their whine is so loud.

[Insider]

18. not repubs, Bush Royal Family & the PNAC Boys

are drunk with power

[opihimoimoi]

21. But somehow they sold their shit to the Pubs out there, Just look at

them, all glassy eyed an all.

Damn,

Come, we go drink already.

[Insider]

22. correct you are

maybe we can get back to two parties again one day

ice cream soda. bring your own straw. long time til november.

[opihimoimoi]

26. Ice cream soda, my Fave

I got the straw and spoon man.

[oasis]

23. They are the lyingest bunch of hypocrites plus what Kerry said.

[opihimoimoi]

27. A lie is a lie is a lie until its the truth. Those pubs win by foolin

with the sheeps eyes, sumpthin to do about the wool

[ComerPerro]

24. Um, what the hell was that

I have not been on DU for over a week now, and when I voted in this poll, I get this page with my vote in big bold letters and asking me to confirm it.

My first thought is, "Did I do something wrong?"

LOL

[opihimoimoi]

28. You made it thru the Pass, collect $$ and proceed to Park Place.

[Zinfandel]

25. Read the new book "Blood Money & Power" and it'll be all too clear.

[opihimoimoi]

29. Who wrote it, Please.??

[leftofthedial]

30. they are irrational bible-thumping end-times junkies

the fundamentalist version of baby boomers.

Liberal baby boomers are self-centered in lifestyle ways--narcissiistic, acquisitive and pop-spiritual

but baby boomer fundies can't imagin that they are not the chosen people to participate in Gawd's Rapture.

They want to be in power so they can be sure to make it happen.



Oh, and to be stinking rich while they are waiting.
