What makes people vote Republican?

Don't think the Elephants are not working HARD to corner the "idiot" vote...

U remind me
of about 15 years ago, when the NYC Demos rented a schoolbus
and drove around from poll to poll and back again, the inhabitants
of a nursing home for the mentally impaired.
There were no Republican poll watchers to challenge the Demos.

and the relevance of this is...


Dave???

That is the reason that I will vote in support of its candidate;
otherwise, I 'd be trapped into voting for someone whose filosofy is repugnant.
I support laissez faire free enterprize and Constitutional Originalism




David

You a big Palin fan, Dave?

Alaska watchin' Russia and all that?

(what's MENSA's take on her, just for discussions sake?)

Kurious in Kansas...

YES, but I strongly dissent from her position
on abortion and stem cell research.


From its origin,
Mensa has prohibited itself from adopting political positions,
or any philosophical positions.
Our members make up their own minds individually n independently.

Some people have observed that trying to lead Mensans
is like trying to herd cats.




David

Dave, she's brain dead, but yes to herding cats...


Rocky

diluting rationality and upholding barbarism is not the participants of A2k wish to read sir..

What makes people vote Republican?
banal patriotism ? perhaps
nasty indiviualism? may be
Callous indifference to the plight of poor people? Not ruled out.
Arrogance? not sure but ignorance yes.

Gosh Rockhead, you've opened my eyes to reality!

The Democrats have been broadcasting ads with the message:

"If you're an idiot, don't vote Democratic!"

If fact, Obama has announced he will not accept the votes of idiots.

Whereas the Republicans have been working hard to secure the idiot vote.

You must be voting Republican this year.

You've certainly done your bit.

I do not accept your assessment of Sarah's mental abilities.
Within a very short time,
she rose to the Governorship of America 's largest State.
(That 's better than I did.)

She has been associated with Alaska 's libertarian Republicans.
That 's what I like; another Barry Goldwater ?

For the sake of argument:
if it were true that her mental abilities were limited,
as u allege; (analogizing to a tug-of-war) even if her traction
power were not strong, at least she will pull the rope IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION !



About 30 years ago, I founded and lead a Special Interest Group
of Mensa (the Opulent Mensan SIG). I lead with a libertarian approach,
which is to advertize my forthcoming events,
and those Mensans who r interested call me, reserve and attend.
With this approach, I have had little of the dreaded and quoted
Mensan leadership phenomenon; I have no complaints.





David

The NYC Demos CORNERED the idiot vote
in a school bus that thay loaded up from a nursing home
for the mentally incapacitated, and drove it around
to many polling places with no GOP poll watchers,
to have them vote many, many times.

THAT was the relevance, Rocky.
