Can't the Republican party do any better?

[JakeWIlls92]

So the GOP is giving us a bully and a religious nut?

Where are the moderates?

Well this is the natural result of democracy. Democracy always pulls people to the extreme. Whoever can whip up the mass of ignorant people the most, is the one who wins.

I don't know if you listen to the BBC, or have been paying attention to the rest of the world, but quite frankly, the extremes are winning all over the globe right now.

Moderates only tend to win, when things are calm, and fewer people are paying attention to politics. The more people paying attention, the more extreme politicians end up.

 

[WildBillKelsoe]

Look what the Democrats are putting up...lll

 

[DGS49]

Are you fcuking serious?

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Rodham Clinton?

And if HRC poops the bed, JOE FCUKING BIDEN???!!!!!

And in your mind the REPUBLICANS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CANDIDATES?

Bizzaro World. Opposite of reality.

This is what rational human beings have seen from your party for years.....anybody that comes with a brain, an idea outside of the usual bullshit you spew, someone normal...your CONSTITUENTS, THEM PINK RED IGNORANT FUCKS CALLED WHITE HILLBILLIES....become lost and confused. Because if you don't go for the crazies and the ignorant, you can't win. And this shit isn't new. The GOP is notorious for cranking out fear mongering, race baiting leeches, that suck the life out of its supporters until all you have a brain dead white people in a zombie state who'd vote for a roach egg, if it hated on illegals, the government and Obama....all of which them poor bastards depend....is that a good enough answer for ya?

Please Note: There is not a single Leftist posting anywhere on this board that rationally takes issue with any Republican policy position. Not one.

Whether it is immigration, taxes, foreign trade, banking regulations, abortion, social issues...NOTHING rational or factual from the left.

Every single "critical" posting is PERSONAL and INSULTING.

Because the Left is totally devoid of ideas or rational thought. Free tuition, free food, endless government jobs, free goodies. White people are BAAAAAAAAD. Corporate executives are BAAAAAAAD. Progressives and Democrats are GOOOOOOOOOOD.

This is what passes for rational argumentation on the Left and, by inference, on today's college campuses.

It's funny that you claim the GOP is spewing irrational BS and fear..... did you read your post?

"They are going to race baiting leeches that suck the life out of...." Do you hear yourself?

Your outside ideas have been tried. We've seen those ideas in the Soviet Union. By the end of the USSR, people were literally eating each other. That's not fear mongering, that's a fact. Look it up.

They have been tried in Cuba. You know Cuba... the place where people hop on plywood skiffs, and try and to paddle their way to Florida?

They have been tried in Venezuela. You know, where over a million people have left the country of only 26 million people?

These are not new 'outside the box' ideas that are being pushed on the left. They are tried and failed policies that have ruined countries for decades.

You sound like a one of the Republican Candidates, just making shit up... Probably feels good to you, pulling so much shit out of your ass. So we don't hijack this thread why don't you start your own asking for the left to critique Republican policy positions and I have no doubt it will blow up. Between Trump and Cruz I could write a book... and I'm not even a big leftie

Kasich, however, I like... He is your moderate and by far the most qualified and best option for the nomination... Never gonna happen with the extreme drama hungry electorate that we are dealing with though, its a shame.

You do know that Kasich cut spending, cut wages to government unions, and reduce funding for programs, which is why the Ohio budget is balanced.... right? (I'm from Ohio, Kasich is my man).

 

[whitehall]

The political translation of "moderate" is a (usually republican) who caves into democrat demands. Can't the democrat party do any better than an old commie and the abused wife of a former president?

Well no, it's expected. What else did you expect? This is democracy. Whoever bamboozles the most people wins. Why do you think there is such a huge difference between the pre-tv presidents and the post-tv presidents? Democracy in action. What do you think the preoccupation with 60-second-sound-bite is all about?

This *IS* democracy. This is how democracy works. People who have charisma, regardless of substance, flamboyance regardless of depth.... that's what get's the people's attention. And in democracy, it's all about people's attention.

Princeton, did a research paper on Name Recognition and Candidate Support, I think that was the title, or something like that. Almost half of voters, voted based on just name recognition ALONE. "I heard that name somewhere, so that is who I voted for". Why do you think candidates spend thousands, if not millions, spreading bumpers stickers? They know that half the population, when they walk into the booth, will remember "oh I know that name" even if the only way they knew it was from a Ford Festiva at the stop light on the way to voting.

Democracy dude. Welcome to Democracy. This is what we wanted, and now we got it. Go USA.

It's embarrassing and hurting our country.

Now ain't that calling the pot calling the kettle black. One must be void of any rational thinking when trying to communicate with right winged crazies, ie people like you....man; look at your party, how can anyone with a working fuckin brain cell with the mental compass of an adult discuss anything with you people with candidates that should make us all ashamed of being American???? Get the fuck outta here and speak to your party, you fucks are in fuckin sane!!

 

[Stephanie]

Has anyone seen what that Democrat party is allowing their base of voters to pick from? ALL of TWO old white fogies. one a commie sympathizer, and then the most Corrupted woman to ever serve in our Government. and they have a nerve to talk about Republicans. this is why this country is doomed. too many sheep in the Democrat party

That's why the founding fathers, didn't have the general public vote on the president. This is exactly why they didn't have that as part of our system.

There is no campaign system, media system, which you can implement, that will fix 'democracy'. Democracy is inherently the rule of the ignorant.

More class and intelligence? When has the mass of people ever had more class and intelligence? When did that happen? Where? What country, or era, or civilization did that ever exist?
