2. Trust with what?
If you mean trust completely, then my answer is "I don't trust ANYONE completely!"

So, trust with or to do what?

3. depends on trust, I "trust" some family members that are repub
That is, trust them not to rob me or cheat me or con me.

And I don't even trust all of my family members not to do that...

24. Ron Paul is the most consistent member of the US House
And the only "Republican" you can trust.

He is also a classic liberal -- look it up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me....


Liberal = lassiez faire on ALL matters.

11. I'd trust a rattlesnake or a rabid dog

not to bite me before I'd trust any republican. If the MSM reported that KKKarl had died, I'd go to his viewing just to make sure.

12. There is no Republican in this day that I trust or would vote for.
Lowell Weicker of Connecticut, (Senator-R, 1971-1989) I do trust, but he is no longer a Republican.

Eisenhower would no longer be a Republican either.

But that's life.

25. A politician of any stripe that I can "trust" is a rare phenomena.
There are levels of trust; I usually know just how far I can trust people for, and what I can trust them with, and what I can't. Frankly, I don't trust very many people to tell the truth and act with empathy and integrity. It's always such a blessing when I find another that can be trusted with those things.

Politicians? While there might be a few people I could trust who happen to be politicians, a trustworthy politician is an oxymoron, in my experience.
