How come there are many people who are against the Republican party?

Question

solely based on what Bush did in office? Can you honestly say you believe he represents Republicans as a 'whole?'

Answer 1

Absolutely not - I am a Republican and am not a fan of Bush on many things, not the least of which is his failure to stand up to Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove, two opportunists who could care less about what the Republicans stand for. I am a Reagan Republican - less government, keep more of what you earn, shoot the bad guys.  

Answer 2

No, I don't believe all republicans are represented by Bush.  However I can't understand why someone would vote for a party that has spend their whole convention thus far, not talking about what they are going to do but bashing their opponent.  Where is the economy, education, health care?  

Answer 3

It's more than just the President, it's the culture of idiocy and greed that the party represents.  As we have seen with this manufactured war at the expense of innocent troops, they are at the root of so much government and big business corruption.  They have hidden agendas and are willing to support members of their party at any cost.  They harp on about family values only when it's only convenient for them.  They are a bunch of old fogies selfishly concerned with short term gain and not the path of this country and future generations. Should i keep going??

Answer 4

Let's not forget how his father tried to mess up the country and how Reagan DID mess up the country.  I actually liked Nixon (even if he was a snoop).  

I would prefer the libertarian or democrat view than the republicans that are like leeches...sucking our country dry.

Answer 5

Because they voted him not once but twice?  

Answer 6

The mission of liberals is to paint  and stereotype every republican as either stupid, evil, a relibious wackjob nut, or a racist.

And nowhere did their rabid insults show more clearly than how they attacked Sarah Palin only 3 days after finding out who she is!

Answer 7

The republicans nominated and elected him TWICE.

Answer 8

Republican principles began long before Bush. In a nut shell Republicans believe in get all you can, and can all you get. They are not for the middle class worker but the white collar business professional. This is the reason why they don't have to addess issues head on they already have the means to buy their way out.
