Do the Republicans stand for anything?

[Ksec]

What I mean is do they have an agenda? What would it be because I cant find anything other than war and corporate power?

So do they stand for anything?

[Ksec]

14. Youre either with us or your with the enemy (on back) Enemy

I love that site .

[Ksec]

6. The only thing I come up with is

special interests and corruption. Big spending conservatives that are fiscally irresponsible.

[Old and In the Way]

7. let's list them....

State's Rights
Balanced Budgets
No Foreign entanglements
Keep Government out of my private life
Smaller government

At least that's the sales pitch I remember.

Now, I think the only operative principle is maintaining power.

[Ksec]

9. But theyve done the exact opposite on every one of your list

Is that failure or what?

[Old and In the Way]

19. Whatever it takes to get elected.

If the American haven't figured that out yet, I suspect they never will. The only principle they value is the principal that piles up in their portfolio's.

15. Remember what Stephen Colbert said

Stephen: The Bush administration HAS made government smaller.

Jon Stewart: They haven't made govenment smaller.

Stephen: They've made it smaller by making it less effective.

8. Only to let the illegal immigrant vacuum the sofa cushions. n/t

10. money and themselves...fuck eveyone/thing else.

thats about it

[CatholicEdHead]

12. Exactly what I was thinking

Nothing else but money or themselves (at least the hard core activists and party power brokers).

[mpendragon]

16. I think they stand for things that reinforce their beliefs

They don't challenge themselves or their beliefs. They comfort themselves by repeating what they want to hear until they believe it.

- If you are wealthy then you deserve every penny of what you have.
- Poor people deserve where they are.
- Racism doesn't exist in America.
- My religion should be plastered on everything.
- The US government doesn't make mistakes (unless a Democrat is in charge).
- Republican politicians are godly people.
- Poor people shouldn't have abortions. (because banning abortion only prevents the poor from getting them)
- Taxes aren't fair to the wealthy.
- People in other countries aren't as good as we are.

If it feels good, believe it.

17. Freedom to be an asshole

Fuck you. Fuck all of you. Fuck you all. That is the republican
freedom. Fuck you. FUCK YOU ALL. I'm exercising my republican
freedom. Where is my gun. BANG. FUCK YOU ALL.!!!! where are
my explosives. BOOM! FUCK YOU ALL...

:BIG POLICE MAN:

HEY CITIZEN, you can't say "FUCK YOU ALL", or i will crush your
skull and inject your brain with liquid oxygen. Oh, you must be a
bush freeper? No, i am an abject muse of the medium, a mortal ruse
on loan from the museum of life.

:BIG POLICE MAN:

BOOM BOOM citizen. YOU ARE not to question the lord (LORD) of the
land. (read: (:"L O R D":) ) not ruse, or myth but the real lord of
britain, the queen, god bless her.

God:

BOOM BOOM police man. BOOM BOOM citizen. Cry no more, the kingdom
is here.

18. yes...everything that is ugly about america

they are the ugly american party.

[Jara sang]

20. Greed and racism

seriously, it's the only two things i've ever seen any republicans have in common with themselves.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

21. They've been falling for everything for over five years now.... so

why should they bother to try and stand for anything???

[progressive_realist]

22. Greed, selfishness and xenophobia.

Always remember that "government waste" translates to "money spent on something that doesn't benefit me personally." About 70% of the R agenda is based on this simple principle.

The rest is based on a dislike of anyone who looks different or does things differently.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. Oligarchy.

[DiverDave]

24. CORPORATE PROFITS

The rest is window dressing.

Greed and power.
Thats it.

[GreyPilgrim]

25. Theocracy
