Do Republicans care about integrity, or is it a nuisance?

[MikeH]

I don't hate republicans, I just think that they're all liars, bigots and morons!

Okay Asher. That's cute.

LOGIC FAIL

He said that if you are a liar, bigot and moron you probably vote Republican.

He didn't say all liars, bigot and morons vote Republican.

And even if he had he wouldn't have implied that all Republican voters are liars bigots and morons.

You moron.

Having seen Obama's attack ads, the dems haven't exactly taken the high road. I agree that it's been a nasty campaign season and each year it seems that they sink lower and lower, but you can't just single out one party when both are doing the same. And yes, I'm not happy with what "my" party is doing. If it was someone besides Obama, this would be another rare year where I voted against the party. I still may, but I have been so unimpressed by our Chicago Guy and we need a change.

The Dems havent taken the high road, but I'd certainly argue that they havent stooped to anything like the same level of blatent lying. I can understand perfectly why people would not want to vote for Obama however.

No, he thinks liars, bigots and morons generally vote for Republicans. He's definitely right about bigots.

In regards to the question of this thread, it is quite obvious that high demand for integrity does not exist. Were such integrity to flood the market, it would become even less valuable.

Maybe the existence of a duopoly is making the market less responsive to what people actually want.

Did the media consider McCain stupid or evil?

Both. He was branded as W. Bush II. a blithering senility of evil, likely to kick the bucket at any moment and leave it all in the hands of Palin (the monstrously stupid). Heck the mere thought that he chose teh Palin was proof positive of his irrational stupid senility. HIs evil was manifest in his desire to escalate Iraq and other foreign policy adventurism.

Which one was Bob Dole?

More stupid than evil.

Bush Sr.?

Evil

[Jon Miller]

The evil Republican presidents are generally the best ones, at least in the last 70 years.

I am afraid that Romney is stupid, not evil.

The second point sure, but I don't remember much of the first at all. If I was American I've have voted for McCain until he went and threw the election away by picking Palin though.

[Hauldren Collider]

Palin was a gamble because he was already losing. If he'd ever had any chance of winning he wouldn't have picked Palin. He tried to make a hail mary and lost.

[Jon Miller]

I don't think I would have voted for McCain (due to him being a Republican and Bush), but I liked him until he chose Palin.

If it makes you feel any better, Romney has been accused of playing a principle role in the death of a man's wife.

Virgil Goode, Constitution Party Candidate, Secures Spot On Virginia Presidential Ballot

RICHMOND, Va. — Conservative former Rep. Virgil Goode will appear on Virginia's presidential ballot after state election officials rejected a Republican-led effort to keep him off. Republicans fear Goode will drain votes from their candidate, Mitt Romney, in a swing state where polls show a deadlocked race.

Virginia's State Board of Elections acted Tuesday after the state GOP challenged Goode's qualifying petitions and sought an independent review.

But the Republican-dominated board also asked Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (koo-chih-NEHL'-ee) and the state police to investigate.

The former congressman is the nominee of the conservative Constitution Party, and has held office as a Democrat, independent and Republican. He lost the seat to Democrat Tom Perriello in 2008.

Goode has called the GOP's action a heavy-handed effort to control ballot access and intimidate third-party participation.

[Ben Kenobi]

Honest question, if they support Paul Ryan's nomination.

People have integrity concerns about the only one on the ticket who's actually a republican? You'd think this thread wasn't started by a fake conservative in love with Mitt.

[Ben Kenobi]

Excellent news on Goode!

[Nikolai]

I don't hate Republicans. I hate liars, I hate bigots, and I hate morons. The simple fact of the matter is, if you're all three of the aforementioned you probably tick the GOP box on the ballot.

The tools here are the people ignoring the lies the man tells and pass it off as business as usual. What a sad state of affairs.

I read like it said you hated Mormons. Which in this election would fit well I guess.
