LadyEllen -> say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 8:37:46 AM)

Inspired by a post in another thread, this is the challenge - say two good things about Republicans.

I'll go first

1) they dont get to vote in the UK elections
2) their ideas and arguments sometimes make me laugh

Over to you

they are not as long lived as democrats, apparently.
they rarely hold the power in our government.

I'll say two good things about Democrats instead:

1) They will lose control of Congress in November.
2) They will lose the White House in 2012.

Richard Nixon and Abraham Lincoln.

Oh Wilbur! Again you miss the point! (but you do make me laugh when you do it)

Surely its obvious? You start another thread for two good things to say about Democrats?

I don't start threads who's only point is to be snarky.

No, you save your snark for dragging other people's threads off topic. Much classier.




DarkSteven -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 8:50:48 AM)

1. They at least give lip service towards reducing spending.
2. They're not Democrats.

This is a thread that needs to stay on topic? If it isnt locked by the Admins they arent doing their job. All it can possibly do is lead to insults and sniping, which must be its intention.




juliaoceania -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 8:52:14 AM)

I can say two good things about my republican brother (he is the only one in my family)...

He has a good work ethic...


Hmmmm, that is all I can think of.




LadyEllen -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 8:52:52 AM)

Snarky? Me?

I was hoping we might get some constructive criticism. The fact is that until the GOP changes it wont be going anywhere and the required change is one that will bring it back to the centre ground from extremes of economic and social policy that are attractive only to the very wealthy and those who didnt finish high school and cant follow an argument so are susceptible to propaganda.

Then why are you posting in it in the first place, pray tell?

Oh look,the off-topic police.....run....[:D]


"I'll say two good things about Democrats instead:"

Folks,do you think it knows it just said that?[:D]




juliaoceania -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 8:59:36 AM)

Oh,.... I remember..... He doesn't hunt!

Although he drives this horrible gas guzzler on par with a Hummer.... and because my mom rides his ass about recycling and conserving he recently told her "Mom, I'm just not a "green" person and I don't care what happens to this planet because God is in charge anyways"[8|]




Owner59 -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 9:04:49 AM)

Easily duped and very defensive about it.[:D]




Moonhead -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 9:06:28 AM)

"Mom, I'm just not a green person..."
He's worried somebody's going to mistake him for a Martian?

I dunno, he just doesn't want to think about his choices as a consumer... even when you mention is grandkids, he already has two of them




GoodKnight -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 9:11:48 AM)

Political parties suck, because they have morphed into a haven for a political uber-class. Political philosophy is where I seperate the statesmen from the thieves, and I can only respect those elected leaders who actually respect the contitutional limits on Federal power that the founders provided.




pahunkboy -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 9:12:56 AM)

I cant think of any.   They sold us out just like the DEMs do.




LadyCimarron -> RE: say two good things......... Republicans (6/28/2010 9:13:53 AM)

1.  they believe in a strong military
2.  they believe in charitable giving

honorable mention
3.  They really are trying to court more black people into their party. that's a good thing too.
