When will the realization hit rightwingnuts that in fact they're DEMOCRATS
When asked on 8 issues what position they supported, and if bush also had the same stance on those issues as they did, bush-supporters (read "ignorant idiots") ONLY GOT 2 CORRECT.

On SIX of the 8 issues, bush-bots said THEY AND BUSH agreed with their positions on those issues, when IN FACT the bush-bots had agreed with KERRY'S POSITION on the issues and NOT BUSH'S.

DUHHHHH huh, stupid little rightwingnuts! Not only do you not even know your bush-god's own position on issues, YOU AGREED WITH THE DEMOCRAT'S STANCES.

rightwingnuts are SOOO STUPID they're actually LIBERALS and DON'T EVEN KNOW IT!

Gawd that cracks me up! And as it'll take years before rightwingnuts find out how stupid they are, I've got years to laugh at em over it. :D :D :D

1. But they wouldn't vote vote Kerry because his positions have
stars next to them. That MUST mean he wants to take both sides of the issue.

*bangs head against wall*

4. LOL!!!
Rightwingnuts; stupidest MFers on the planet.

Geeez I wish we had a "liberal media"; rightwingnuts should be mocked and laughed at 24/7 for this. They agreed with KERRY on the VAST MAJORITY of the issues and thought BUSH agreed with them!

ROTFLMAO!!!

2. the reason is
that not all of the issues have equal with rightwingers and leftwingers.

rightwingers probably could not care less, for instance, about land mine treaties.

the issues that matter to them are military (which they correctly perceive the bush position on) and social issues (which aren't listed in your survey).

if you want to win you have to understand your enemy. otherwise they will have years in power to laugh at you.

6. The reason is they're ignorant.
Stupid MFers, who when asked their positions on 8 issues and if bush also supported their positions, CHOSE KERRY'S POSITIONS on 6 out of 8, NOT bush's.

Read the link for plenty of other examples of total ignorance displayed by the stupid MFers.

7. you just ignored my point
those aren't the issues they care about; and they issues that they do care about aren't listed in your survey.

for instance they do care about abortion and they got bush's position right on that; they do hate gays and they have bush's position right on that; they do want to reintroduce prayer in school and other government places and they have bush's position right on that.

that's why they voted for bush - they couldn't give a hoot about land mine treaties or other things that might be very important to you. we need to understand our enemies or they will laugh at us for years to come while they occupy the seats of power and we are reduced to snickering that they are 'stupid'.

9. Not quite.

1. The survey isn't "mine"; it was done by PIPA, so I'm in doubt as to why you jkeep calling it "my" survey.

2. The point is, they did state their own positions on those 8 issues; they did say bush agreed with their positions on those issues; and they were, in fact, wrong on 6 of 8 of those issues. For you to say that's because none of them care about those issues is an insult even I wouldn't nail to all bush supporters.

3. They don't know bush's position on abortion; he's changed his position 5 times. Even the rabid anti-abortionists are furious with bush's flip-flopping on the issue. They don't know bush's position on gays, as he's done the same there; flip-flopped back & forth on that issue. etc etc.

And this "voted for moral values" thing was proven total BS shortly after the elections. Abortion and religion and gays came quite low down the list of why bush supporters voted for bush.

13. i think if you want to know what the wingnuts think
you need to visit their websites and read their magazines. i do that. i've never seen much interest in the issues that you think are important to them, except that they are possibly against them (eg, most of them would oppose any international contraols on landmines, just as they oppose kyoto and the icc).

it's silly -- and condescending -- to think that they share your opinion but are just too 'stupid' to know it. in fact they don't share your opinions -- which is why they are on the right-wing.

and actually voting against queers and abortion was one of the tools the rw used to get out the vote and it was quite successful. if you think wingnuts supoort abortion on demand and gay rights then you are living in an alternate universe.

3. Oh God...
Leave 'em "over there". Let's bring the Greens on board in our party and marginalize the repugs. I don't want them around. They are hideous.

8. Most Americans are Democrats, whether they know it or not.
I've been saying this for some time.

Most Americans believe in social programs for the poor, elderly, and disabled. Most Americans believe in environmentalism. Most Americans do not want our country to take an aggressive, war-mongering stance with foreign nations. Most believe in a living wage.

But they've fallen for the pack of lies propagated by Bushco and the state run media.

10. Agreed. Most Americans are kind caring people.
The republican Party values are nothing to do with kindness or caring or people...other than making the rich corporations richer. Or as bush called them, "my base, the Haves and the Have Mores".

11. I agree and I've found this to be
true lately. I work helping people with their taxes during tax season and many are not happy with Bush at all--young and old.

14. They Forgot Poland And The Beer
One assumes Repugnicans, and especially wingnuts, understand issues and have the capacity of rational thinking. Try again. These people like being told what to think and then keep saying the same tripe among themselves in a group-think re-inforcement ritual.
