Quote:Republicans are just as ready to hand out the perks. Just watch how they've backed down from the whole ACA repeal, they have no interest in ending subsidies for healthcare companies and state mandated purchasing of private insurance policies.


We're probably do for a republican shift to the bush style "compassionate conservative"


I think you'll never see a conservative or libertarian sniff the office again we're now the minority by a long shot.

 

I disagree that it's the fact that people like 'free handouts'.  It's conservative attitudes toward many things that keep many people away from voting Republican.  


If you watch FOX News you'll see how they bring on that surfer bum who's wasting tax payer money.  And then in the next breath they'll praise businesses who take handouts because they're just doing what a business should do.  

 

Listen to many of them speak about Rape, and you'll understand why more women aren't Republicans.  

 

Military spending is getting out of control.  Republicans will do everything for our soldiers -- so long as they are fighting.  Once they get home?  Tough luck.  

 

Democrats aren't really much better in many regards.  Spending is out of control -- though I'm sure you and I somewhat disagree on what spending is out of control.  The Democrats just tend to sell a more palatable message to many of us.  Though personally I'll be voting Green Party unless the Republicans run one of the few Republicans I can't stomach. (Unless the Dems also put forth one of the few candidates I can't stomach, in which case I'll be asking my kids what language they want to learn)
