Why are you a Republican?
I'm puzzled by the number of people who still support Bush. Personally, I think that it's embarassing to have such a complete moron as President of the United States. The only reasons to support Bush that I can think of are:
(1) you're not very bright yourself, so by comparison Bush seems reasonably intelligent,
(2) you're a Republican and you'll do anything to keep a republican president in office,
(3) you're doing well financially, so it's in your interest to have republicans in power (because of tax cuts for the wealthy).
Did I miss anything?
Now, I have a question for republicans: what is it that you like about republican policies/positions? To me, it seems like they're wrong on pretty much every single issue:
pro guns
pro corporations
pro wealthy
pro religion in public life
anti environment
anti abortion
anti gays
How can you possibly want to be a member of that party???
I don't get it. Help me understand.

You bring on the table a stereotyped description of republicans, and they will offer you a stereotyped description of democrats.
As i am not a censor, i will watch this thread closely. However i don't know if it's like expectancy will be great. Excuse me for this professional advice , but the newborn is weak.
I've been posting at AppleInsider for years, and I can honestly say, hands down, that this literally has to be the narrowest view of Republicans I have ever read on the forums. I don't know how you can believe all of the things that you've posted above.
If this is open long, I forsee a thread called, "Why are you a Democrat?" in the near future.

Yep, this has flame fest written all over it. I hope Powerdoc or another mod of AO will lock it. Calling people names isn't going to magically bring them over to your point of view. I'm a liberal and people on the forums know that from my posts. I take shots at the Republicans and the conservatives on the forums fire shots back.

Well Fran if you want to lock it , you can.

pro guns
Read the 2nd Amendment
pro corporations
Are not most Americans employed by corporations...and receive their livelihoods from those organizations?
pro wealthy
Whats wrong with wealth? I would love to be rich..and anyone who says they wouldn't...is a liar!
pro religion in public life
No. I haven't seen *any* Republican in government proclaiming to be pro Buddhist, or pro Islam, or pro Hindu, or pro anything other than two of the world's hundreds of faiths...(Christianity and Judaism).
anti environment
I'll give you that one.....
anti abortion
Name me someone who is pro abortion! There probably isn't anyone on the planet who is "Pro abortion". Nobody wants to have an abortion....they are extremely traumatic, messy, expensive, and potentially dangerous. Abortions happen, legal or otherwise, and should Roe vs Wade be overthrown during the Bush administration, it's not going to stop women having abortions.
anti gays
Really? what has Bush done that brings you to that conclusion? Anti gay-marriage is not necessarily anti-gay.
How can you possibly want to be a member of that party???
I am not, and I am not a democrat either.
