Freeper: "The reason I voted Republican..."

[elehhhhna]

The reason I voted Republican was not for tax breaks, anti-abortion judges or open borders. It was to cut the size and scope of the federal govt. They have not done so, and have expanded it. They no longer even talk the talk, except of course as we get closer to the election. All of this talk of slowing the economy down, doing things incrementally, is a bunch of horse ptooie. When you get the power to make changes, you do it. Like pulling off a band-aid, you do it fast. The Republicans are now addicted to the power of the purse and have effectively ended any chance of returning this country to a strong fiscal foundation. We will have to go through a depression or something worse to fix this mess. God bless America, and cut off those worthless SOB's that are sucking me dry.

OMG THIS IS HUGH!!111!!! I AM SERIES!11!!!!

[cry baby]

1. I wonder how ong that one will stay up...

This person is absolutely right...either an infiltrator or a real conservative.

[Maestro]

4. My thoughts. He'll be banned soon.

Can't have independent thought over there. It's dangerous.

[Neecy]

2. you'd think he'd be thrilled...

Doesn't he have the 'smaller government' he wants? Bush has rendered the courts and the congress meaningless, and has made himself dictator. Can't get a much smaller government than that - "A Government of One", to steal the recruiting phrase.

[stray cat]

3. He sounds like a traditional republican

Bush has not governed like a traditional republican and it is no surprise that Americans who believe in fiscal responsibility and limited government feel betrayed by this administration. The question is if the democrats in 2006 and 2008 can give them an option thats any better in terms of their desire for fiscal responsibility and limited government. I can think of quite a few dems that are progressive but fiscally responsible and those candidates would probably appeal to "traditional republicans/libertarians"

[B Calm]

8. We haven't had a traditional republican since Eisenhower. Bush

in my opinion is just another Ronald Reagan borrow and spend republican.

[verse18]

11. just because they call themselves "Republican"

doesn't make it so. I would call them "Greedy" and "Evil."

[Pavulon]

5. That would

be logical if the people in power were actually republican. They have grown the debt, increased government spending, and doing everything they accuse dems of doing. With terrible results.

[Crazy Dave]

Looks like we'll be saying:

"Welcome to DU everyone!" It took a while but we're glad you're finally here. :)

[LSK]

6. who gave him red pill?

[Maggie_May]

7. OMG

Obviously this person is waking up to reality he must have been in a coma till now. But besides that I went on the freerepublic sight and I can't believe these people.

[jobycom]

9. So Reagan and Bush Daddy didn't prove it for him?

Stupid ass conservatives. Even if their Flat Earth mentalities weren't completely destructive to economic prosperity, you'd think they'd have realized from Reagan that Republicans have absolutely no interest in shrinking the government. For that matter, he should have loved Clinton, who actually did shrink it.

[Surya Gayatri]

10. Wow, are you sure

you found this at FR? This poster sounds far too intelligent, coherent and reasonable to have landed over there. If this is a trend, the Repubs are in knee-deep doo-doo. IMHO, this is precisely the kind of voter who will be so turned off that they won't bother to turn up at the polls next Nov. Better no vote than a Democratic vote. There goes the base!!! SG

[C_U_L8R]

12. Isn't it ironic that they call themselves..

the "Free Republic" but not a single one of their
political positions reinforces their mission/charter/brand.
What's with that ???

Only one thing can happen when there's nothing holding em all together...
except for their mutual hate and rampant phobias (xenophobia, homophobia, demophobia, etc...)
and that's the ultimate collapse of everything freep. It's simple physics...
oh almost forgot, freeps don't know physics or any science for that matter.
Guess they'll be in for quite a surprise.
fweep fweep

[Toots]

13. He sounds like another typical right wing LIAR

All evidence that Republicans create smaller government is false and just a tiny amount of research would show it. Not a single Republican Administration has decreased the size of Government since Hoover's days. In fact the opposite is true. Democrats on the other hand have decreased government in many instances and improved the economy time and time again....Republicans just spout off without any facts which in laymans's terms is LYING....

[onehandle]

14. I see the quarterly shakedown for RimJob's beer money is going strong.

What the Hell do these idiots pay for? FR is the most low-tech piece of crap forum on the 'net.

DU constantly improves and adds features. A snazzy operation.

RimJob knows that there's a sucker born every minute in flyover country.

[Redneck Socialist]

15. Ha, ha, ha, ha

Heh, I'm still chuckling.

I'm glad at least one of them is waking up, but I expect the dumb ass will continue to vote republican, 'cause ya know DemonRats are eeeeeeeeevuull!

[graywarrior]

16. If he was too stupid to get it at election time,

he's too stupid to get it now.

:nopity:

[Lexingtonian]

17. I always feel

like I'm reading a scroll from the Middle Ages when I see I one of these posts. You want to congratulate the guy on the alacrity and insight, but then the context strikes you- this stuff is always an argument in the arcane theology of a religious sect that is absurd, ridiculous, and obsolete in the big picture. 'Small government'...that's the Shroud of Turin of Republicans. It's impossible for it to be authentic, or relevant to the religion, but it latches onto something in the feeble idolatrous mind and its silly desire to live in the past that makes it happy.

My area has a TV station that shows a lot of 'Seinfeld' reruns. I've been watching them more lately, and Jason Alexander's pennywise/pound foolish character (George) and his life in the wrong universe for him has exactly that pathetic selfrighteousness, needy glomming onto stupid excuses and "ideas", and disconnect from big picture reality that comes through in FR posts.

[Old and In the Way]

18. He's still an idiot...just not in the total deniability wing of the FR

He's still wrong. He's bitchin' and moaning about the Feds spending money on Katrina victims. We've spent $2 TRILLION DOLLARS on the Bush-made disaster called Iraq....and he's worried about a few billion for an American city that had a devastating natural disaster? Our allocation of money, TO OUR COLLECTIVE SELVES, is being diverted into the hands of a few corporations whose business plan is build/destroy via war/rebuild....and repeat.

It's the new business model for the Republican Syndicate. Interested in a country franchise? Call Dick Cheney at the WH.



Friggen' neaderthal Republicans....still living in the 80's Reagan "welfare queen" world. He/she never evolved from that fantasy.

Here's a clue -> Go here and buy this pen....and get yourself educated about where our tax dollars are really going.
