"I'm a Republican"

Are you [still] a Republican?

  • Total voters
    49
The poll touched on what I think is an interesting subject:

What, in general are the political leanings of the JREF forum participants.

Unfortunately, there were problems:
1. What is a Republican?
a. People currently registered as a Republican
b. People currently registered as a Republican excluding people like INRM that just registered as a Republican for a transitory purpose.
c. People that are both a registered Republican and who generally vote for Republicans.
d. People that are part of the Republican party leadership or who actively participate in staff level activities and not people who just happened to have registered as Republicans for voting purposes.

OK, all those issues aside with the poll I still don't believe the results. By what possible definition would almost half of this forum's participants be Republicans? Of the people that participate regularly in the politics section my guess is that about 40% would be registered Democrats and maybe 20% would be registered Republicans with the rest of the participants made up of people who don't vote or who aren't registered with either party, or who are registered with a third party. My guess is that only about eight people that participate in this forum are strongly partisan Republicans that almost always push the GOP position.

FWIW, I continue to be a registered Republican, however I didn't vote for a Republican for national office in the last few elections and I have voted for the Democratic candidate in the last two presidential elections. I continue to vote for Republicans for state wide offices. I voted Republican in the poll.

ETA: OK, I just took a look at the detailed results for Republicans. Tricky lists himself as a Republican. Hmmm.

I voted for Dukakis and then Bob Dole. I suck at picking Presidents. How about no political parties and we vote for the individual.

How would you structure such a system? I mean, we don't have these two parties simply by choice. Our electoral system grew them the way they are.

I've always considered myself an independant. Although much more liberal than conservative, I agree with some Republicans on some issues.

What Tricky said.

I know I'm seen firmly on the left on this board, but I know people who are to the extreme left of me and those who are to the extreme right of me. The reason I've been voting Democrat is because I see the extreme right reflected in the Republican party. I don't see that in the Democrats and the extreme left.
 
If your question remains "What makes one a Republican?" I have no answer. The problem is that those running the Republican Party today have a rather fluid view of who should be in their party, and it's all seemingly geared towards being big fish in small ponds. By the time this is done, they'll have even less power than the Greens.
 
Our parties are decentralized. You are Republican if you say so. Though people will doubt you if you don't vote so.
 
I was an independent who voted pretty much equally between the two major parties, while also providing some support to the Reform Party, up until about the early part of 2001. I saw some disturbing signs in Bush's GOP about then, and when they went completely nuts after 9/11, I decided I was finished with them. I then ran squarely into the arms of the Democrats, a party which, for all its flaws, seems to have a healthy dose of sanity by comparison.

Other than that, what Roadtoad said. Until the GOP can rid its leadership of the nutters, they'll never get my support. In fact, I'll actively fight them.

OK, ok, I cannot tell a lie - I've registered for that particular wing of the two-winged American Nationalist Socialist Party to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. :mad:

Just because Ron Paul is in the party, it doesn't automatically mean they are NAZIs.

Mhmm, Ron Paul actually is the only thing that prevents me from calling Republicans Nazis. :p

Ron Paul is the only republican the NAZIs will vote for.

Probably his blistering hatred of jews and blacks is what the swastika swingers find most attractive about Herr Doktor Paul.



Yes... straight from the Hitler-lovers mouths.

Again... just because Reichs-furher Ron is a republican, that doesn't mean that all republicans are nazis.

mhh i never heard anything from Paul that would made me think he hates Black people nor Jews. Actually the opposite.

strange
 
from your link .........

Ron Paul is NOT a White Nationalist. His Libertarian policies will also conflict with National Socialism, something that a good number of Stormfront members support.
