Several questions for you, Doug.
1. What do you understand to be the GOP stance?
2. How do you define being a Republican?
3. What are the GOP koolade (sic) lines? See kool-aid (Kool-Aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
An aside:
In your opinion, why would anyone who voted for George Bush be ashamed of that vote? If, as a citizen of the U.S., each of us above voting age who has not been convicted of a felony has the valuable right to vote as we so choose for our elected representatives, why should I be either more or less ashamed of my vote for George Bush or your vote for Barack Obama? On the surface, it just seems a bit preposterous that you pose your statements and questions that way. You seem more interested in an up/down, us vs. them style, than a we are all in this together as Americans approach. I admit it's fascinating to watch. Reminds me of the Man from La Mancha - tilting at windmills. God bless.

Well hell...I'm a republican...my sister is a representative for the house in SD...as a republican..We don't like big brother in our faces and we sure as hell don't want to pay for all of these new programs that are being pushed onto our children for many years to come and we believe that if we earn our money, we should be able to spend our money. Yes we are capitalists...
but if you ever need a meal..you're welcome to a good one at our table.
Anyway.. I'm not a fan of debate and however amusing I find Doug's worship, I'll defend his right to his opinion. However layoutshooter and Greg and Leo are far more worth the read!

So we got 2 admited Republicans. Still many in the closet.
I wish I had missed it. Yes it was very clever. I enjoy a good play on words but I was stuffing reheated pizza into my face when I read it. Johnny have you ever seen a grown man pass a mushroom out his nostril?

Good luck Doug,I've been asking the same thing since 04.Watched and listened to these non Republicans vote for and defend w to the death. The war in Iraq? Oh my God,I could go on and on about the degrading name calling and insults that came my way.
Then,w went to hell in a hand basket,and all of a sudden their all independants that never liked w in the first place.Independants over night.
It's just laughable Doug. A bigger bunch of hypocrits cannot be found.
The biggest and loudest of the bunch is Greg,their anit Christ sooth sayer with the golden set of tweezers for picking apart the posts by detractors.It's cult like.His hysteria and bold face attempts to gain the praise and adulation of his minions and followeres is a classic farce.That a boy Greg,you really kicked Cals *** that time!!.It's called group mentality,kind of like sheep and their herder.Been going on for years Doug. A little sick,but just accept it for what it is.
No baby,no Republicans on this forum.

Jamin- I am not pro gun control, never have been never will be.
I believe what we have already as far as gun control is pretty effective. I mean we still have alot of gun violence, but I believe people have the right to arms for protection and recreation.
If and when the Dems come after Layouts Squirrel gun, I will be right there with him, fighting against it.

Yeah Cal you hit it right, it is just too dam funny that only 2 will admit it.
As far as their ring leader, I've been thinking maybe A-team has the right idea just put him on ignore and clean so much BS off of the forums.

Is it your point that Republicans don't think for themselves? You would be wrong...
or is it your point that we don't think like you do...and your thinking is sooooooooooooo wrong!
But...I won't slam your thinking if you leave mine the hell alone!
I hope you are counting me as one of the two!
I'm a republican.
I'm a democrat.
I'm a libertarian.
I'm a Marxist.
I'm a Socialist.
I'm a Fascist.
I'm a Communist.
I'm apolitical.
There. Is everyone happy now? Did I miss any? Sheesh, the narrow focus of some people that can't be satisfied. I'm reminded of the little boy who just had to have his dad eat fried worm with him.

I guess we are up to 3! Bravo!
No Juju Be a Republican that is fine. My point was so many on here state the Republican views daily then won't admit that they are a Republican.

That's right, Cal... you take Doug and go back to moveon.org. I hear Obama rapping his shepherds hook, calling you all back so he can give you tomorrow's ammo.
Hypocrisy indeed! If that ain't the pot calling the kettle mulatto!

One more time, Doug:
Several questions for you, Doug.
1. What do you understand to be the GOP stance?
2. How do you define being a Republican?
3. What are the GOP koolade (sic) lines? See kool-aid (Kool-Aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
I really am interested in what you think about these questions. It's hard to have a conversation with you if we can't agree on what we are talking about to begin with. For instance, today's conservative used to be yesterday's liberal. Left wing and right wing only defined where you sat in the British Parliamentiary Building. So I really want to know how you answer those 3 questions. Then, you might answer the same for Democratic stance, Democrat, and Democrat koolade (sic).
I fashion myself as a conservative independent. As an independent, I vote for the best man/woman to represent my personal interests. I have proudly voted for two Democratic Senators in my state: Sam Nunn and Zell Miller. I would do so again if they were running. As a small business owner, I am more in tune with the philosophy espoused by the Republican party than that of the Democratic party. In sum, the Republican party, at least in principle, votes for me to keep more of my earnings. But, I am not a registered Republican nor a registered Democrat. Not that it matters a whole hill of beans in the long run.
