If all you consider in voting is who will let you smoke pot you need to smoke less pot because it is making you stupid.

The states that vote Republican are the most poor, backward, uneducated, and unhealthiest in the union (see Red states below).

Low life expectancy, highest obesity rates, lowest income, least education, highest teenage pregnancies, least likely to believe evolution is a fact, most likely to believe in god, etc.



Not much has changed since the 1800s. Check out the map here, the southern "Democrats" [in green] that voted against Lincoln are today's Republicans.

You can actually predict by the maps I provided and your map where personal freedom and liberty will prevail (the small government liberal states). You can also see where the big government Republicans will take away choice and try to control your life.

The state should not be involved in the marriage sanctioning business at all.  Just the marriage dissolution business as they would be in any contract dispute.  I don't think I can impress upon you how low that is on MY priority list.  I think most of the country has far more immediate and intimate concerns.

I weep for the future, Stalin coined the phrase "useful idiot". I have to agree, it certainly applies here. The rest of us adults are concerned about NSA surveillance, IRS over reach, border security, ACA and a balanced budget. Your on homosexuals and hemp.

brilliant.

All I know is that the word Republican is now directly associated with: Obesity, stupidity, religion, poverty, lack of education, bigotry, intolerance, guns and so on. I don't know how the Republicans managed to create such a negative image, but that is how they are perceived.

They are also fully described by the following image:




When somebody says that he's a Republican, the common reaction is:  oh... (then you slowly walk away)

The last election simply reinforced the idea tenfold.

I know its a lot more than that. But what I hear and see roughly sums up to that. The Republicans have a serious image problem. They need a new marketing strategy to solve that problem. Because it is tru that the red states are fatter, less educated, more religious, less open minded, more pro-gun.

The stats show it clearly. Then again, who gives a damm about facts and science?

I'm just trying to help the republicans. They have a bad image. Constantly being reinforced in the media. The number of jokes made on late night shows about the republicans is already bad enough (espcially since these show are in NY and Cali, dem strongholds). And then when you get republican senator or congressman saying shit like "the female body stops them from getting pregnant if raped" and allowing people like Bachmann and Santorum to run for office cannot possibly help the Republican party. They had one good apple in the bunch and it was Ron Paul. He was moderate, educated and had a good image. They threw him under the bus...

Then comes the Tea Party which sprouted from Republican party. It was practically marketed as a the party of bigotry. I do admire the fact that they want to reduce debt and balance the books, but their image was horrible. Politics is all about image and public perception.

Then came the congress shut down which has been mostly blamed on the Republicans and labeled "keeping the country hostage".

The Republicans is in serious need of a facelift. 10 years ago they had a good image, plus they got all the help in the world from Clinton's blowjob.

As for the "being educated by liberals" comment, it is partly true, I'm canadian afterall. But like I said, in 2000, my opinion of both was equal. It was a coinflip. But then Bush went a declared a war killing thousands based on faulty intelligence... This stuff adds up.

They need to work on their marketing, that's all I'm saying...

You mean smeared by the Loony Leftie Libbie Media, not marketed. Nothing the Republicans do will improve their image because the gatekeepers in the Mainstream Media won't allow the image of Republicans to be improved.

But that doesn't matter, since all Republicans need to do in order to ensure continual re-election is to keep their base happy. The best way to keep their base happy is to consistently espouse (and act on) basic, standard, unsexy conservative policy and purge from their ranks (through the primary process) the RINOs.

Alright then, what could the Republicans do to stop being smeared so much? Perhaps they should stop providing ample smear opportunities? There are things that have been said from Republican representatives that didn't even need a smear campaign. All it needed was to be filmed and put on any sort of media. The famous thing Romney said about half of Americans being leeches at a rich people party (or something that came out like that). Talk about shooting yourself in the foot... The guy was trying to get elected and he goes and says something like that. Sure it might have been 110% true. But you can't say shit like that. There's a reason why politicians lie all the time; its because people can't handle the truth.

My argument is that Romney insulted half the nation he is trying to get elected in. There's a way to say these things. Tact is a good start. Plus it's the fact that this wasn't supposed to leak because it was a closed door meeting. Kinda like: "is that what he truly thinks of us when he knows we're not there?"

Of course he talks shit behind our back. Part of his job is to ensure the public know what he says. You'll never hear a president swear during a speech, does that mean they never swear? Of course not... It's a standard social behavior.

Nothing destroys your hopes of getting elected more than being caught speaking behind that backs of 150 million people.

I'll say it again. Politics is about public image. He got caught with his pants down. Therefore he shot himself in the foot. The Democrats didn't even need a smear campaign after this, he killed himself. Remember I replied to Phred about the smear campaign. The point I'm trying to make is that the Democrats didn't need to smear the Republicans because they managed fuck up their image all by themselves.

Overall point I'm trying to make in this thread that is apparently extremely hard to grasp:

- The Republicans need to hire a new marketing agency to build a better image...

Is this so hard to understand?

I don't want to break your heart but the Tea Party is the enemy of the Republican party.

Romney was right about half the country (at least) being shiftless bums.  I can say it because I'm not running for office and never will but it is the truth.  Let me repeat the most salient point.  Romney was right.  Sooner or later the parasites are going to run out of hosts.

I know where. I have no need to guess.

Part of the problem is that fools fail to follow one very basic rule...

Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

Alas, humans in general fail to question what they hear, fail to look at multiple sources before reaching a conclusion and fail to use logic.

Part of the problem is that fools fail to follow one very basic rule...

Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

Alas, humans in general fail to question what they hear, fail to look at multiple sources before reaching a conclusion and fail to use logic.




Well, for you, it's easy to keep up with the truth because you seem like a guy with an interest in politics. Most people don't really care. They just read the headlines and listen to the tv. They don't go in depth and dig for what the real truth is. They got other shit to do / have no interest / not intelligent / don't give a fuck. Cynicism does't help either. Hell I don't blame them, I kinda wish I was like them some times. I gotta keep up with 2 countries that are very similar and yet so different politically. It takes time. But it's fun, I like it.

The number of people that blindly votes for either party is astounding too. So people will vote blue from 18 years old till they die simply because that what his dad pounded in his head his entire life. For example, I guarantee that texas will be red in the next presidential election. No matter what. What do you do about stuff like that? California will be blue no matter what. Everybody thinks that their opinion is the absolute truth, no matter where or how or why they formed that opinion.

Politician are kinda like strippers, they act like they like you just so you slip a couple bucks in their g-string then they move on to the guy next to you and never look back

I'm not entirely against soda laws.

Clearly you can't trust people to be reasonable. Hell, most now weigh 300+ pounds. Somebody has to put a stop to the madness... Soda tax is better at least you get paid for it.

I've seen 'soda laws' equated to the drug war...in way too many forums.

Sorry but having to drive to the local supermarket to get a big ass soda
is not the same as being handcuffed and thrown in jail for a year...

Not the strongest case.  You should probably have thought it out a little more before arguing it.

Only problem with your point is that the democratic party has fully supported the war on drugs over the years. That little bit of truth kinda makes your position a whole bunch of bullshit.

Honestly, how can you justify your position when the Democratic party has supported the war on drugs?

At no point have I ever implied anything of the kind.  Unlike most of the people here I want all drugs legally available to competent adults.  I see no difference between the parties on that issue.

Do not only consider the expressed ideas of the Republicans or the Democrats because their expressed ideas do not fully honour the truth of what they are.

Both groups are riled up in sectarian belief, but neither group lives life in a correct, life-affirming way because both political groups are led around by the nose on a daily basis, and are never encouraged to foster true wisdom or responsibility within themselves. All people who are led around by the nose are to be treated with dignity and compassion because they only act according to the best knowledge that they possess at the given time, and in their fervent hatred of their political neighbour, they possess no awareness of their own blind spots in regards to their own flawed ideology. Fear of nuclear annihilation and terrorism, so-called the "equilibrium of terrror", pushes them into sectarianism, just as it often presses us into drug use or alcoholism - all of which boils down to an attempt at escapism from reality, in the end.

So do not consider one group or the other a greater or lesser evil because, truthly, the whole political system amounts to a great blanket of darkness that covers the perception of all, whether they are Republican or Democrat. In that respect, whether left-wing or right-wing, there is no distinction whatsoever in the form evil that they greet with open, confused arms into their lives, since the true evil is the lack of reason, the lack of wisdom, and the lack of life-affirming responsibility. In that regard, neither the Democratic, nor the Republic, ideologies offer much value to anybody except the political leaders who benefit from the labour of the people, meanwhile the people receive no fruits of wisdom or knowledge from their daily struggles.
