Republicans Vote Against Their Own Self Interest, Democrats Don't Vote

So many poor conservatives are "one issue" voters. They ignore everything else as long as their one issue is considered focal.


The Issue Of One Issue Voters

I fully admit to be a single issue Voter.

I vote for the people who uphold the U.S. Constitution, as it is written, the best. So that means I will, most likely, never vote for another Democrat for office.


Well, surely you didn't vote for Bush....now that's one that shredded the Constitution, along with his co-hort Cheney.
rederp is fooled by his own propaganda and lies.

stunner


and cons have always voted pro country and anti-me

we are selfless that way

Yep, conservative women are selfless.....they vote for Republican leaders who insist that they don't need to make as much money as a man doing the same job. I call that dumb.

The Issue Of One Issue Voters

You mean like women who will only vote for a pro choice candidate or union members who will only vote for how their union tells them to?


No, like women who vote for those who want to keep women getting paid less then men for the same job, or women who vote for those who don't care if their pregnancy kills them, they want them to suffer the consequences and carry that fetus to term, or those on welfare, who vote for those who insist on doing away with welfare, or the poor schmucks working at Wal-Mart just enough hours to keep them from getting health care and vote for those who want to repeal Obamacare, that's who.
like women who vote for those who want to keep women getting paid less then men for the same job, since this does not happen and there is no one that supports this???? or women who vote for those who don't care if their pregnancy kills them, same thing they want them to suffer the consequences and carry that fetus to term, you mean not kill a child? or those on welfare, who vote for those who insist on doing away with welfare, my ex has been on welfare for 10 years, think she's milking the system? or the poor schmucks working at Wal-Mart just enough hours to keep them from getting health care and vote for those who want to repeal Obamacare, that's who we are $17 Trillion in the hole and the aca will make it go deeper. How bad must it get before you wise up?

Keep lying and repeating that, it shows how easy it is to train leftist that the lies are the truth and that the truth is all lies.

I'm sure you can name the Republicans, and provide the quotes, to back up your claim..

Or are you so full of shit that your eyes are brown and you have to wipe your mouth everytime you speak?
 
Total bullshit. Republicans are not all against food stamps. We do not want to see children starve. However, we generally are against the idea of a welfare state that provides the basics for everyone. Why? It is not the government's place to do that and it promotes too much government involvement in the private lives of citizens. Stamps are fine for the unfortunate people who need them. However, we also need to be promoting policy to grow the economy and thereby bring about prosperity and economic opportunity so that people do not have to make welfare a lifestyle. [/quote\]

Which is why Republicans in Congress vote "no" to everything that has to do with growing the economy and "yes" to everything having to do with hurting the middle class and below. I think your belief is "total bullshit".

On gay marriage I say "who cares"? To me the Equal Protection clause compels equality in marriage unless the state shows a compelling need to treat gay marriage differently. Granted, some of the more religious folks in the party object to gay marriage on moral grounds. I do not. My point is that not all Republicans oppose gay marriage. Further, the Republican party is made up of people with differing priorities. I am Republican primarily due to my view of the constitution and because the Republican Party is, in my opinion, a far better choice on issues involving the economy and national security and defense. However, I am generally willing to accept other points of view within the party and to respect those views. Republicans are generally drawn together by a desire to see economic prosperity, freedom, and to have the constitutional system of a limited federal government. However, there are differences inside the party.
However, every leader in your party stands against it, so, when you vote for them, you are voting against what you believe.

By contrast, the Democratic Party is much more prone to be comprised of groups of single-interest voters. There are women who will absolutely not vote for any candidate that does not support abortion, for example. They couldn't care less about the macro impact of their candidate so long as their issue of interest is addressed in a manner they find acceptable. The Democratic Party is largely cobbled together by disaffected groups that want something specific. Republicans, however, are generally willing to compromise as long as the underlying fundamental elements are present, such as economic prosperity, national security, freedom, and limited government.
That's not true. I don't believe in elective abortion after the first trimester, but most Republicans are in favor of doing away with it even in cases where the pregnant woman's life is at stake. That is putting a fetus ahead of a grown woman. So much that they even decide to destroy organizations (like Planned Parenthood) that help women with many more issues other than abortion, because it doesn't matter to them that they cut other benefits as long as they do away with abortion.

The problem with the initial post in this thread is that it oversimplifies the Republican constituency to the point where the underlying message intended to be conveyed suffers from a credibility problem because it is not in accord with reality. Yes, you can support gay rights and food stamps and still be a Republican.

Supporting something and voting for people that go completely against it isn't called "supporting".....it just means giving it lip service, which is what you are doing. You need to put your vote where your mouth is.

The lack understanding on the part of Democrats is fascinating and repulsive at the same time. One may conclude that the Dems know what they are doing and are intentionally misleading people. Or, they are just not that smart and they are not well-informed.
Says a person who just completely misapplied everything the Republican party stands for and probably relies on Faux News for news coverage. You are exactly what the OP describes.....you claim to support what Democratic people support, but you continue to vote against your own interest.

Sigh... You are a dumb bitch, aren't you? Like I just said in another post, this message board is absolutely infested with assholes who lack the ability to dissect issues and examine them on different levels, from different views and perspectives. At first, I pity you dense *****. I think, "Jesus fucking Christ, what hell it must be to go through life as a feeble-minded simpleton, not able to figure out simple matters and being perpetually confounded by matters that others seem to understand effortlessly." But then, after that thought passes I get angry and start thinking that my pity is misplaced because these shitheads have the ability to educate themselves if they want but they choose not to. You could learn to be critical in your analysis, but you choose not to. You are willfully ignorant shells of life who, but for the Internet, would be debating politics and other matters with your poor pet cats (at least until they decide to run in front of a car to escape your painfully boring existence).

Bitch, the next time you grow the balls necessary to address me, you address me as "Mr. Piss Bucket". In addition, if the avatar picture in your posts are really you, then I demand that you send me pictures of your tits. I would also like to see pictures of your uncovered ass in various postures.
 
Remember this:



The same film maker was on Bill Maher tonight showing a film she made in, I think it was Michigan. So she's asking Republicans and Democrats questions and she came to the conclusion that Republicans vote against their own self interests and Democrats don't vote.

There was a young Democrat getting Food Stamps that said he wasn't going to vote.

But the most hilarious was a Republican who was a little older. He was asked what he thought of gay marriage. He said he was fine with it. Everyone had the right to get married. Asked about Food Stamps, he said they were a great idea. Asked about equal pay for equal work, he said who would be against that? Asked about woman's rights, he said he was totally for women's rights

When he was asked who he would vote for and he said, "the big 'R', Republican of course". No clue his party was against everything he was for. So that's how it is? Republicans vote for what they are actually against? Why do they do that?

I've found that most casual voters be them Republican or Democrat are concerned with one issue and that issue often has nothing to do with the position candidates take. This is because they are totally disconnected from the political process. My neighbor voted for McCain because of his war record. He had no idea what his stand was on the issues. My daughter will vote for any female provided she support issues of particular interest to women. My mother always voted for the handsomest candidate. The only issue my wife is interested in is the environment.


The motivations of voters can be hard to determine sometimes. I believe Toqueville said that the success of our republic depends on some minimal level of intelligence and social cohesion (specifically, institutions like church). This, I think, implies some level of civil engagement.

like women who vote for those who want to keep women getting paid less then men for the same job, since this does not happen and there is no one that supports this????

What? Another uninformed Faux News viewer? Did Faux News tell you it never happens?


Senate Republicans Block Bill on Equal Pay
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/10/us/politics/senate-republicans-block-bill-on-equal-pay.html?_r=0

or women who vote for those who don't care if their pregnancy kills them, same thing they want them to suffer the consequences and carry that fetus to term, you mean not kill a child?
Yeah, because a fetus is way more "human" than the mother.


or those on welfare, who vote for those who insist on doing away with welfare, my ex has been on welfare for 10 years, think she's milking the system?

Well the leaders in your state must be Republican and are asleep at the switch....no one was supposed to stay on welfare longer than 5 years.....and some states even less. Of course, some states may allow them to stay longer. Find out, and if her state doesn't allow it, you need to report her.....unless it benefits you!:D

Only a few states have no time limits. All states allow exceptions to time limits within their policies.
Which States Have Welfare Time Limits eHow

or the poor schmucks working at Wal-Mart just enough hours to keep them from getting health care and vote for those who want to repeal Obamacare, that's who we are $17 Trillion in the hole and the aca will make it go deeper. How bad must it get before you wise up?[/QUOTE]

You can thank Bush/Cheney for two unnecessary wars (not budgeted) and unnecessary tax breaks for the 1%......that's what got us in the hole. You can fool yourself, but you can't fool most Americans, we know what happened. Thank God for Obamacare, now even poor Republicans working at Wal-Mart can afford to get their own health care insurance.
 

Sigh... You are a dumb bitch, aren't you?
No, but apparently you are, based on your stupid imagination.


Like I just said in another post, this message board is absolutely infested with assholes who lack the ability to dissect issues and examine them on different levels, from different views and perspectives.
Yes, and you are one of the biggest ones. Apparently you can dissect issues, you agreed with everything the OP said about those who vote against their interest, and here you are claiming that doesn't make you a voter who votes against their own interests...:muahaha:



At first, I pity you dense *****. I think, "Jesus fucking Christ, what hell it must be to go through life as a feeble-minded simpleton, not able to figure out simple matters and being perpetually confounded by matters that others seem to understand effortlessly."

Well, why don't you tell us? What is it like to go through life as a feeble minded simpleton who obviously only views Faux News and therefor oblivious to the truth? Accusing anyone who doesn't agree with your erroneous facts as being ignorant is the clear sign of an ignorant person. And, you would hope to have as exciting a life as I have......I don't spend my time sending faux e-mails to my friends about how Obama took the "In God we Trust" from the dime, or how Obama voted to fund a prison in Illinois which turns out to be in Sweden........but you do, poor schmuck.

Bitch, the next time you grow the balls necessary to address me, you address me as "Mr. Piss Bucket". In addition, if the avatar picture in your posts are really you, then I demand that you send me pictures of your tits. I would also like to see pictures of your uncovered ass in various postures.

Look here Mr. Limp Dick:cuckoo:, how about I call you Mr. Pissed On, how's that. And, I'll get working on those pictures right away.........
 
Keep lying and repeating that, it shows how easy it is to train leftist that the lies are the truth and that the truth is all lies.


Oh, so you are believing that Republicans want to pay women the same as the man in the same job?

Or, are you saying that women don't vote for Republicans who voted "no" to them getting equal pay?

Which is it?

Either one....just proves you're a dumb schmuck who doesn't know up from down.
 
Yeah, because all Dems are on welfare, UE, disability- and polluting , screwing workers, stupid REAL wars, corrupt world depressions, mindless obstruction, and hateful, divisive, lying, idiotic, ugly American propaganda are all good for America. Greedy idiot rich Pubs and bought off or brainwashed functional moron hater dupes...a disgrace. see sig.

so are so many poor Liberals....

No, many of the poor liberals don't even vote, sadly.
i meant "poor" liberals the same way you did "poor" republicans.....

wow you're dumb

that wasn't them blocking the bill, it was them not wanting to waste time on re-passing the same law that was passed decades ago.

you got kids, you get welfare until they are 18

the wars?, god damn that's so fucking ignorant and unfuckinginformed it boggles the mind
 
wow you're dumb


You're the one that is dumb....you haven't even been able to figure out how to post here without screwing up the quotes.


that wasn't them blocking the bill, it was them not wanting to waste time on re-passing the same law that was passed decades ago.

You really are stupid. It isn't the same bill....you need to read it, if you are able to read.

you got kids, you get welfare until they are 18
If any woman has kids, they should be getting child support, unless the husband is a worthless scumbag that doesn't take care of his kids.
So, why is it that your ex is still getting welfare?

the wars?, god damn that's so fucking ignorant and unfuckinginformed it boggles the mind

You're the fucking ignorant one. Iraq didn't have WMDs, Bush knew it and lied to us. Wow, over 4000 American soldiers killed in those wars and you're defending that scumbag.

Get real. Get a life.
