So do Republicans really think they're OK or is it just peer pressure?

Confused is an understatement.

They do understand. \n\nThey just don't want to acknowledge it because that would force them to put more environmental restrictions on companies... and we all know Republicans are owned by big business.

I do not understand this undue regard for approval ratings. What do they matter? Doing the right thing isn't always popular. And the media are compounding the problem with their biased views and outright lies. The Dems favor spin over truth. Congressional GOP have yellow bellies and jelly spines.\n\nAnd without seeing the raw polling data, it is hard to trust pollsters interpretations.

It is true... While the names have differed slightly, the people who are republicans now have always sided with the easiest way out... Meaning keeping things the way the are/were rather than trying to fix the problem... Like declaring independence from England or changing the issue of slavery.

I honestly don't think they're very compassionate.  As far as being conservatives,  I really don't think they are all that conservative either.  They want votes, and there are a lot of liberal ideas on the table right now.  Basically, they're full of crap

Their own, of course.  When it comes to Republicans, invoking the magic words "National Security" is supposed to silence all dissent from us peons.  If we let them get away with it, we get what we deserve.

Still sounds like good enough reasons to be Republican in my book.\n\nEDIT:  They'll never get it.  Eye for an eye.  Don't pass children through the fires of Molech (hedonism).  Don't worry about it, they'll get it when a criminal has a gun to their head.

It is hard to get a conservatives who is taught to do as they are told and to stand by their father figure regardless of ones actions. The other reason is fear for their career. You have to point out that these republicans today in the White House are not the good old boy republicans like Eisenhower who had a slogan, 'Vote for Peace", "Vote for Eisenhower". That is all you can do, point out that these are not real republicans.

Some of them are.  Some of them really are genuinely concerned with the state of this nation.  They're the ones out at the campaign headquarters stuffing envelopes.  Not the ones you hear about all the time in the news.

Yah I have said this before, but it fits here too. Some of them just woke up, give them time to check Fox News, whip out the republican party line handbook, maybe check a few blogs and biased websites, then they will tell you what they think.\n Be patient, as people incapable of forming their own opinion you have to be patient with them and eventually they will tell you what they "think"

Not a whole lot, I'm afraid. Don't rush or pressure them and above all stay trusted and true.

Since it's all a Republican scandal and there are numerous Republicans being indited by their own party members, I think it's a real no brainier there. Did you watch Saturday night live hacking on the Republican party. You might want to watch Meet The Press this morning too, when the Republicans start snitching on each-other. All of the baby boomers will be, and they are better than 80% of the vote.

No, it is not true.  There are people from both parties that do not believe in the gay life style.  However, there are more Republicans who do not believe in it, because Republicans tend to be more conservative and traditional in what they believe.

Just tell me one thing republicans aren't afraid of... and that's the thing we all should be fearing!

well anything a repubican is for they are against, unless they think of it first, and if a republican thinks it might be a good idea, then they ar against it agaim, and dont forget, anytime you make a point to a dem, they are prone to tell you off, call you names, make fun of your social status, and tell you your intellegence level is lower than theirs!!

For your first question: Republicans think they can even control reality. What is- just is. Republicans are notorious for complimenting the emperor on his fine new clothes when the emperor, in reality, is naked- remember that fairy tale? They are always trying to create their own reality and tell us what to think. On your last question- good point. Corrupt people have to lie to sustain their way of life. The best way to do it is to own the media and try to control how we perceive things. If the Democrats are not in the lead, they will be. This Republican reign of power has talked down to the American people long enough.
