WHY does the GOP Field Conservative Candidates?

from JoeUser Forums


Every time any of the GOP Presidential candidates talk they try and demonstrate they are more conservative then the other GOP candidates. Most conservatives are Republicans and only 23% of registered voters are Republicans. There are more Independent voters then either Republican or Democrat and most Independents do not support the conservative views. The Democrats have about 25% of the registered voters and I doubt that any of them support most of the conservative views.

That means that at best 25-30% of the registered voters support the so called Conservative agenda. WHY then do the Republicans field a candidate for President who has views that do not agree with the vast majority of American voters? The majority of Voters are centrist and it would seem that both parties would support candidates that were in tune with where the majority is not to the far right or the far left.

Although many of the Democrats are to the left, you do not hear the continual chant from the Democratic Presidential candidates that they are Liberals as you her from the GOP candidates they are Conservatives. I can see no reason for a Conservative Congress, President or Courts given the fact that the majority of Americans ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES!

Bush got the Electoral College Vote only because 3,500 votes for Gore in Palm Beach County were not counted due to the ballot confusion!

because 3,500 votes for Gore




OK you have said this before. i want you to provide absolute proof that those 3500 votes were for gore. i don't want any reports stating that they talked to people who were confused thus those 3500 votes were confused and would have gone to gore.

i want the names of the people that those 3500 votes belong to. and i want to see their response. if you can not provide those names then stop using that number.


we both know you can not provide those names since it was a SECRET ballot. but your probable to stupid to know what a secret ballot means.

and by the way they changed the rules and recounted those votes 12 times. six months after the vote was over gore finally won.

in other words the only way gore wins is if he cheats.

I believe the Democrat candidates are closer to the center then the GOP candidates!


LMAO!!!!!

You seriously have no grasp of reality.

You are so busy hating Bush and the GOP you can't see how far left the democrats have become.

Gene, anohter hint... we live in a Republic, not a Democracy. That means it's not about majority rule.. in fact the Founding Fathers put things in place to PREVENT majority rule. The Electoral College is one of them, Senators being appointed by the state being another one (but, out of ignorance that one was changed).

The way you talk, the only thing a Representative and Senator should do is read the polls from their district and vote accordingly. Hopefully the people we elect are using their brains better than that. Not that you have any idea what the word means, but hopefully we have a few actual leaders in Congress.

the gop was voted into office for the last 12 years except for the last time.

and after this year they will be elected back into control


No, no they won't. Sorry 'bout that. As for most of your other arguments, please remember, in our democracy (notice the wording) the rights of the minority, no matter which party they are in, are protected by checks and balances. That's what has driven our society to greatness.

Of course, the Egyptian Empire lasted (roughly) the same length of time as since the birth of Jesus, so we better get our act together or we'll be shown up by the pyramids and Rah.

Another Conservative leader and ally of GWB bit the dust Saturday. John Howard the Prime Minister of Australia suffered a humiliating defeat because of his support of the Iraq war. This is a pretense of things to come in this country in November 2008! Get ready all you Conservatives!!!!!

Just like Sarkozy's election in France was a "pretense" of things to come. You have the brain of a titmouse, with apologies to titmice or, as you might say, titmeeses.
