Republicans Aren't All Bad Either



Democrats need to think twice before condemning all Republicans because Republicans aren't all bad.

Keep in mind that the Republican Party came into existence for the purpose of combating a great evil that the Democratic Party was protecting and promoting.

Indeed, Democrats started a war in response to a Republican being elected President. That is why authentic Republicans don't honor 19th-Century Democrats or use symbols created for use by 19th-Century Democrats.

The Republican Party's original mission was fulfilled once slavery was outlawed in the USA. The GOP's second mission was fulfilled once civil-rights legislation was enacted.

Today, the Republican Party has the mission of keeping the U.S. government within its constitutional limits.

Some voters are Republicans simply because they want the U.S. government to stay within its constitutional limits . . .



If you are a Democrat, then do you have a problem with the U.S. government staying within its constitutional limits?



Yes, the modern-day Republican Party has its flaws, such as . . .



However, the modern-day Democratic Party has its own flaws, such as . . .



Back in 2016, plenty of Republicans were not thrilled at the thought of Donald Trump becoming the POTUS. They reluctantly accepted him because they didn't want the Democratic Party's corrupt presidential nominee to occupy the Oval Office. (Neither did this blogger.)

Today, plenty of Republicans are appalled by what the GOP has become.

One can find Republicans who say, "I didn’t leave the GOP. The GOP left me."

One can find Republicans who believe that it is wrong to punish DREAMers for the misdeeds of their parents.

One can find Republicans who acknowledge the reality of human-enhanced natural climate change.

One can find Republicans who condemn the way that Russians helped Americans learn the truth about Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

One can find Republicans who haven't turned their politics into their de facto religion.

Sane and reasonable Republicans still exist, but they aren't considered to be newsworthy. The crazy Republicans get all of the media attention instead.

Democrats face the same situation with the media. Their sane and reasonable ones aren't considered newsworthy, either.

When Americans take in what the media have to say about politics, the former get doses of Crazy-vs-Crazy. It is enough to make a sane American want to have what Kermit the Frog is having.

I think there are a lot of undercover conservatives. They don't make their political views known because they are looked at as being evil and turning on their people if they are black. They don't care about the starving abused children coming from Mexico, the are pro-rape. Whatever b.s. the left can come up with. We will see in Nov

No. Dodo, I have no problem with Congress (the subject of limits in the constitution) staying within constitutional limits.

I agree with everything you posted. Individuals are individuals first, their beliefs and values differ, regardless of a political label they may or may not choose.

Hillary's nose is so funny!

If it grew for Lies it would be much longer !

If it were Trump, His nose would stick out farther than his dicky do.

judging by Melanies expressions, and his constant overcompensation, it might already ... lol

haaa ... not nice. not nice. but neither was the nose photo....

According to morning joe(joke), the blue wave means a lot of almost wins for democrats. The republicans should watch out cause with a slim win for republicans it means they are no longer, no wait they still win the seat in congress. This isn't horse shoes where close can equal a win, lol. Keep thinking democrats , that might be the best ploy for a red wave.

You know it hurts CNN to have to report it.

One person's "keeping the Federal Government within Constitutional limits" is another person's "declaring corporations to be individual citizens when it comes to SPENDING money, but not when they are paying taxes."

In addition, since the modern Republican Party has been working to reverse the accomplishments of it's founders, how does that fit in with this appreciation?

Corporations are in business to make money, not support govt, and the American people, and illegals. Time to stop illegals from coming here and our jobs from leaving. Closing those doors.

to 'stop jobs from leaving', why not go after the corporations by restricting access to certain tax perks and loopholes if they outsource or automate?

after all, is it protecting 'taxpayer money' to eliminate the jobs of 'taxpayers'?


nah, 'because corporations are just the big job creating heroes that can only do good and should only be given more and more ....

A tax break isn't giving to them. It's taking less from them. It's said that liberals think corporations are stealing their money.

Automation is just another part of technology. It wouldn't be good to hinder anything that helps society.

Trump has starting taxing other countries goods in an attempt to make the playing field lever. It takes time.

okay. So let them 'keep'. How about no government subsidies if they've EVER automated or outsourced then? Id say its not showing interest in the good of the taxpayers if they are giving their jobs to other countrymen or machines.

What do you have against automation? Do you still wash clothes on a washboard? Being behind other countries in industry and technology would be a terrible thing.

Outsourcing is just a part of free trade. There are way we can put things back into our favor. Maybe companies wouldn't need subsidies if we weren't taxing them so hard to begin with. In a way it's like a subsidy is just giving them their money back.

I'm grateful for jobs and wouldn't want to live like a pioneer.

were there corporate jobs paying people to wash clothes on a washboard?




but corporations can do no wrong, they are always only benefitting us with their use of taxpayer funds, unlike lazy smooching citizens or immigrants who may need a little help from the tax system that asks them to pay into it the majority of their lives ...

Immigration needs to be based on immigrants coming here to work. No job? You're not allowed to stay here. You will see a lot more people trying to do things the right way.

that is already in the immigration law, one must either have job or someone who has the money to sponsor their stay ...

that doesnt mean they will not need EVER to have some help once they are here though.

Reason we need merit immigration. No more underachievers. We have enough of those already.

and who will decide metrics for what determines 'merit'?

there are few underachievers successfully enduring and passing the immigration process ...
