What makes people vote republican II

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Sure you are - the combative cynicism in your posts, not to mention the "you'd be singing a different tune if your guy won" counterpoint you just made that assumes my beliefs, not to mention my partisan loyalties.

I made a (very) general statement of opinion - you can take it at face value or not. But I'd like to think that if a person vehemently disagrees with something they'd actually make a point of "proving" the statement wrong rather than pull out the neener-neener rubbish.

You seem to have some affinity for the current administration - how you explain how they represent your day-to-day interests?

Your defensiveness toward my statements doesn't equate to me looking for an argument. I'm used to people disagreeing with me and take it in stride, but am, at the same time, not hesitant to express my own views.

Why do you admit tomaking a very general statement, yet expect someone else to be specific in their "proof"? Do you intend to offer any roof, or simply continue to make very general statements? BTW, is the complete BS remark in response to my post on the other thread not neener neener rubbish?

In a nutshell: I'm rich and not in need of government handouts, nor do I see myself a a victim or a perpetrator. I have no affinity toward any administration because they do not rule my life - I do.

I don't think I was being defensive - all I said was that GWB and his administration aren't representative of a lot of people who voted for him. Your counterpoint to that was that because GWB won twice that this proves that he is representative. I simply fail to see what the one has to do with the other.

In short, I don't think 50% of the people who voted in the last election fall into the "rich and not in need of government handouts, nor do see themselves as a victim or a perpetrator" category.

Well back to the article....

And the authors conclusion that there's a large chunk of female voters who support Palin because she represents that perfect creature many of us dreamed about becoming. You know, bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, etc.

I guess I could choose to get my panties all bunched up about this if I felt the GOP believed ALL women think like that. But....I don't even think the writer was contending that this was the party's goal. I believe they were saying, though, that a significant block of women still idolize this type of non-existent creature.

I personally think the appeal of Palin has been targeted more to men than women.

But that's a whole 'nother article.

there was a time in our history when we thought our leaders should be giants among men. Now we want someone who we'd feel comfortable having a beer with.

SO, you get what you vote for -- hence 8 years of Dubya.

Seriously - what was the appeal of that man?

It boggles the mind...
