Are there any reasonable republicans out there?

Question

Im a democrat but I agree with some republican issues. I don't think there should be welfare because it doesn't give people incentive to be productive and I don't really think the plans for universal health care will work. However, I think there should be better public schools because education is the great equalizer. Now considering I am willing to see the good in both parties are the any republicans out there can admit that Palin is a horrible choice. If they felt the need to bring some excitement to ticket they could have picked a more qualified women (even the lady from eBay would have been better considering its a very large and international company). I'm sorry but being a mother or father of 5 does not qualify you to be second in line to run the country. I can't stand how questioning this decision equates to sexism. You dont hear obama screaming racism when people question his experience. What both obama and hilary did was run as people, they did not throw in race and gender to

Answer 1

Most public schools cost more per student per year than private schools. Chicago spends over 10,000.00 per year on each student and they are very good at teaching the kids not to read. Any tax increase for schools just gives incompetent teachers a raise, not once have the increased taxes increased reading scores. Just a union scam.

Answer 2

Why aren't people questioning Michelle Obama about her raising a six and nine year old?  If Obama becomes President, you can bet Michelle is going to be just as busy with different functions as well as being a mother.

But mention Palin and it's a different story, "how is she going to raise five kids and run the country?"  Palin will still be a mom, but like Michelle Obama, will have a staff of people taking care of certain duties, and like Michelle Obama, will not have to do the shopping or cleaning.    

Answer 3

So sorry! You are not likely to get any intelligent answers here. I have tried and failed on numerous occasions. The conversation inevitably degrades to name calling, finger pointing or lame excuses.

Answer 4

You don't hear Obama screaming racism? Then you are not listening. He says things like, and I'm paraphrasing here, the other side side doesn't like me for x y z  reason and oh yeah I'm black. They do not want to vote for me because I do not look like the other presidents on the money. An obvious reference to old white men. What qualifications does Obama have to run the country seeing how it is he who is running for president, not Sarah Palin?
