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.

elected officials who respect my right to do with my body as I please would seem more likely to hold my other equally important individual liberties in higher regard than those who don't.  I can't  figure any solid argument as to why I shouldn't immediately reject anyone's right to represent me who thinks I can't smoke what I want.

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.

can we reinstate the draft already, clearly you have too much free time

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.

If that is truly the sum total of all of your knowledge, that's pretty sad.

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?

It has actually been ascribed to Lenin but according to the wiki it can't be verifiably credited to anyone

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?"
