    Well, you referred to rank and file voters in the post above, so it can be quite unclear.

    rank and file are the only ones who vote republican these days. we never ever hear of a liberal voting for a republican. if we hear of one, they are not a liberal.

    I get the term, I was speaking to my question about if you were talking about politicians or the average (republican) bear.

    Wild, how questions and answers diverge.

    I think I got ya, gimme. Have a good evening.

    It was implied, and to be fair (based on prior posts, assuming unseen by you), also inferred.

    Strange days here lately. Sadly so.

    Really? It seems to me the the only major change here is fewer people on AMT.

    Please point out to me where it was "implied." I re-read gimmies posts several times from where he listed all things republicans are against forward. You the referred to yourself as not being one of those "dirty" republicans. What did I miss? I've read every post in this thread. How did I miss this? Inferred? Where?

    I also said based on prior posts - the dirty term came from descriptions in said prior posts. Not just this thread, so perhaps you missed that?

    Sorry if that was implied or inferred or something else.

    Can it be recognized that many if not most politicians in the game are about money, regardless of party?

    And...to say "most americans" vs "republicans" is pretty clear on where the brushes are being drawn.

    Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize you were referencing other threads. I infer posts refer to the thread I'm in. Sorry.

    why are they on the wrong side of everything?

    because their way of rich, old, white, straight, men running this country is over.

    Right and they use fear, religion, racism to get the poor to vote against their best interests and worse fight their wars for financial gain. Pretty clever and it works, sadly. USA USA USA GOD BLESS THE USA EVILDOERS.

    most americans do not favor needing a voter id. republicans do.
    most americans do not want creationism taught in public school. republicans do.
    most americans do not want to rewrite history textbooks. republicans do, and have done it in texas.
    most americans want common sense gun law reform. republicans absolutely don't.
    most americans want comprehensive immigration reform. republicans don't.
    most americans believe obama is a christian american citizen. the ones who don't are republican.

    well put...and you could have conversations with republicans where they agree with you on mostly all of the above yet when they head to the voting booth they will vote for Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz.

    It just really makes me want to hurt myself

    Likely a big difference, gimme.

    And hopefully you're not talking about all, either way.

    does it matter?

    when i talk about "republicans" i refer to the elected ones. but those who vote for them are just as wrong because they are still on the wrong side of the issue.

    do your average rank and file republican still vote for incumbent republicans?

    yes they do.

    care to address the contrast between the positions, or just try to discredit my post by pointing out a generalization?
    So unless you are a liberal democrat you are wrong? Isn't that a constructive point of view. Hey let's just get rid of the the Republican party and let the Democrats run everything? The democrats have a delusion of reality just as much as the republicans.

    gimme, your signature once had a quote saying "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". is partisanship not the same?

    Gimme,As an independant I will be voting Republican (Jeb)next election.I also am in agreement with many of your above issues.Not all but most.
    So my scenario is why you can't lump everyone into the same box.Being a Fiscal conservative and more Socially progressive(I think this is kinda where Hedo is coming from also,if I'm wrong Hedo sorry).
    I think there is a lot of folks who think like us.I can tell you I don't vote party,I vote person.
    I think we all want basically the same things as long as we are not to far right or to far left.Dont you agree?
