If your a republican please explain why with our country like it is after 8 years of poor leadership ?

Question

i really dont get why people still support the republican party.well i can see if they are doing good and just think about themself most republicans do.but with the country like it is after 8 years what does it take for you to see what the republicans are doing to the country? look how the country was with bill cliton. this is a country without it where would the self centered republicans be ?

Answer 1

Because we realize it could be worse.We could become a socialist state and have our lives ran by the government.Besides the country has not been that bad,you have been listening to the press,how bad has your life really been?

Answer 2

Presidents really do have a fairly limited amount of power. It has been a democratic ran congress and that is where most decisions are made, in congress.

Answer 3

because the economy was doing just fine until the democrats took over a few years ago. It was until a few years ago the economy started declining, Bush his been in office for 8 years, you do the math.  

Answer 4

Actually, President Bush is a poor excuse for a conservative.  Although, we are at war, and not by our choosing.  We have to cut spending, stop thinking about commie healthcare, free college tuition to everyone and their dog, and build our military.  Because believe me brothers and sisters (my hulk hogan thing) a day is coming when a strong military is what we need more than pinko commie liberal social programs.  STUFF THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!. :)

Answer 5

Don't waste your points asking a question like this. No Republican is going to fess up to any mistakes. They think our country is in great shape. Let them think what they want. We all know they're delusional,

confused, scared to death and believe their own lies.

The less we pay attention to them, they'll know we think they're worthless, pathetic excuses for human beings. And that's being kind.

Republicans are hateful, disgusting liars. Hope you're all enjoying your convention, which I have seen no news channels covering at all.  

Answer 6

because it has only gone down hill the last 18 months or so when the congress voted in dems.  

Answer 7

Congress has been run by Demacrats for years. If you don't beleive me read this. These are Bush's veto record. Take the time to read the presidential message for why he vetoed them. The Dem ran congress was trying to rip off the public of hundreds of millions

Answer 8

They are not a very smart bunch.  I can understand being a libertarian but being a republican after the last 8 years pretty much makes you an idiot.

Answer 9

If this country was half as bad as you Liberals are made to believe it is by your master, then it would be h**l.

Answer 10

Your question ignores larger issues which has effected this administration, and would have had the same effects on a democratic administration.

Our administrations responsiveness to the diabolical attacks on 9/11 were dead on.  We have dealth with the political and economic fallout from that to this day.

Our administration has committed itself to a Federalist position regarind economics, in particular letting lending institutions decide how they will make and guarantee loans.  Who would have thought that banks would be so irresponsible as to make loansas they did and then OMG default those loans and foreclose till we have a housing glut and no one able to buy the houses.

Our administration has made difficult decisions regarding the world-wide threat of terrorism by Muslim extremists, particularly Al-Qaida.  This is our "world war" and it is being fought sometimes by aircraft being flown into buildings, and by dethroning genocidal demagogues like Hussein, and dis-arming retarded Iraqis children who are forced to wear suicide bombs, etc., etc., etc.  All the while we are conducting this war in a most civilized manner and even prosecuting Armed Forces personnel who desecrate the Quran (as if that piece of trash needed any protection or honor, it is so full of lies and hatred, but that is a completely different answer to another question).

Sometimes people have to look at themselves and their neighbors to see why our counrtry is like it is.  On our block we got rid of a group of boys who moved in and started a frat house for high school drop outs.  We did it legally, so our home values would not suffer.  We are all doing nicely, and the boys are scumming up some other neighborhood now.  It also means that when we helped a widow on our block who suddenly found herself alone and without resources, that we did the best we could and the most Christian thing we could in helping her.   We did not give her the number to a local agency - we helped her.

No child left behind is working in some places where states are aggressively pursuing excellance.  Where excellance is not pursued, the status quo has been maintained, and those schools are failing, and those children are suffering.  But the suffering of those children is not due to this administration; it is due to badly run school boards, priincipals and teachers.  A bad teacher should be removed from the classroom and given a broom or a shovel.

Liberal Democrats are always looking for someone else to blame.  Well, I think you should address the failure of a Democratic Congress to do anythin regarding the national healthcare crisis.  They've had eight years and have done squat!!!

Answer 11

Because they are delusional.

Answer 12

What do you call poor leadership? We haven't had another attack on our shores since 9/11.

Ya, we got a war, but that is what everyone wanted after 9/11. So it wasn't one we could win in a couple of days, but Bush told us that when we declared it. This problem with Bin Laden actually was on going while Clinton was in office. We had a chance to get him back then , but Bill called off the hit. For the most pert of these last 8 years we've had a Democrat congress, who are the ones that make the laws and really run the country. All the president does is sign or veto the bills. I don't support the republican party any more than I do the democrats. I'm independant, but I know how government is run. Most people don't.

Answer 13

Do you have no memory

Do you not understand History?

Do you not have deductive reasoning abilities?

Geo W Bush brought this country back after Sept 11th

Terriorist tried to bring down our financial system.

Katrina destroyed a great deal of our costal southern states.

It is a miricle we aren' in a full fledged depression.

Answer 14

Because we don't want to raise taxes and pull out of Iraq too soon throwing the middle east into chaos.  Plus the economy has only declined in the past 2 years, when the dems took over.  Do you're research and stop listening to the liberal media.  

Did you know that Ron Paul had almost twice as much web-traffic then Obama and McCain at the beginning of the election.  Then the media started covering mostly Obama and McCain, dropping Ron Paul's coverage almost entirely.  The media controls the election, and they chose Obama, and you decided to listen.  Just a little food for thought.

Answer 15

There have been no attacks since 9/11.  Everyone walks all over democrats because they are weak human beings.

Answer 16

You should know by now republicans on Y!A don't care about the country at all. They just don't want to lose regardless of their suffering.

Answer 17

Because the only people that believe there has been 8 years of poor leadership are the lefty-liberal media and whackos.  I have asked the question on this forum before - Please give me a listing of Bush administration failure...not just accusations, but honest to goodness examples of failed policy.  Guess what...haven't had ANY responses except whacko accusations and more of the same blah blah blah rhetoric smears the left puts out.  No facts to back up the accusations.

Fact is, the economy is on the rise now. http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/econom...

Fact is there have been no more terrorist attacks on American soil since 911.

Fact is gas prices are soring, yes, but a bipartisan group of congressmen wanted to stay in session and work on the beginning of an economic package.  Palosi shut them down in favor of going on vacation.

Fact - yes, there were no WMD's found in Iraq, but the evidence was there when Bush first reported them but, by the time we got through jumping through all the UN hoops, they were gone.  The congress voted to go to war with Iraq and as a result, Sadaam was destroyed.  The people of Iraq are grateful and appreciative of the US and our allies.  You won't hear that from the liberal media.

Answer 18

I am a republican.  President Bush did a good job for 6 years.  We were prosperous and safe.  over the last 2 years, he has lost his friggin mind, and most of us dont really support him either.

Mccain is a bit too liberal for my tastes, but any EDUCATED democrat can see that he is so far on the spectrum from bush, that he was courted on the democratic ticket to be VP under Kerry!  Thats how liberal mccain is.  So all you moderates should LOVE him!

But remember, Bush is 1 man.  He is not the entire party.  Mccain, as i said, is so far from bush, he is practically a liberal.  Only Palin pulls this ticket back toward the conservative side.  

point is.  MCAIN is NOT BUSH!    

Answer 19

THANK YOU ,!  THANK YOU ! THANK YOU  , You r so right !!!!!!!!!

Answer 20

One word...denial.  

Answer 21

First of all, your hero's name is Bill CLINTON not cliton!

Thought I would point out the intelligence of your political knowledge first, before I shoot down your ridiculous statements.

Obviously you have never paid any attention to the real political world. If you had, you would know that the Clinton era was one of the worst in political history. Your hero Bill couldn't kill Osama before he later killed thousands of us, after he was told what a threat the man was. Your hero Bill was the prime example to all young people throughout the US that Oral s*x is okay and not even a form of cheating. Your Hero Bill also created the biggest reason for job loss in the US today (NAFTA) making companies leave the US to open in other countries where it is cheaper for them to run. You are sooooo right you super intelligent democrat, the Republicans are the problem. The Republicans are a problem for the weak minded left wing, liberals with no backbones. Remember the last two elections......When the Republican party needs the votes, we come out in full force and we don't pay people to vote for our party. We don't get the homeless, weak, poor elderly or mentally disabled together on buses to get votes, we do things the right way......Have a good night.

Answer 22

You  should have seen tonites NBC  news..They were  showing the  Republicans that were told to tone it down ,,partying with  the representatives of the companies who supply the republican government with kickbacks,privileges
