Okay Republicans, let me get this straight: If a woman wants the right to sue over getting lesser pay for the same work, but doesn't find out about it until more than six months after she started getting an unequal paycheck for the first time, then she wants to file a "frivolous lawsuit." But when a Republican candidate for Senator sues over losing ( Read more... )

Can we sue the Republican party for harm caused by not getting a senator seated?

In the first case, they're not the woman getting screwed, and in the second case, they're not the Democratic majority getting screwed.

Republicans, much like Objectivists, aren't really worried about what's fair for other folks.

>.> That's not quite the case. Please DO think that some of us actually do care. <3<3<3 I mean, our political party WAS founded on abolition... you know, where we wanted to guarantee civil rights of others... =_= until Conservatives absorbed most of our party and started to make things go horribly wrong... but us Small Business Republicans are actually fiscally responsible, stand-up kinds of guys!

Of course, back then, the Democratic Party was the one in favor of segregation and slavery. Those aren't the cases with the parties today. History only matters if the organizations continue to uphold the standards they originally set.

In the 1960s, when Lyndon Johnson decided to support the Civil Rights Act, the ideologies shifted... and so did quite a lot of party affiliations. (For example, pro-segregationist Strom Thurmond was a Democrat back then, but he died a Republican... and it wasn't because he changed his views all that much).

As I said, though, this is basically because who came into our party and corrupted it, but when other ideals stay true (by this I mean localized government versus centralized... etc.) it doesn't mean to be Republican we have to support ALL of the beliefs the party has. ^_^ ie we recognize racist bastards where they stand, and some of us very wise Republicans are pro-choice, pro-science (*cough*Stem-Cell-Research*cough*), pro-family-- and by THAT I mean believe in same-sex marriage so they can adopt some damn kids! XD ...And, yeah... other schtuff. <3 ( ... )

Please realize half the sarcasm... at least half. XD vanessasquest May 6 2009, 10:14:16 UTC

Hey now! Don't go generalizing "Okay Republicans" ...I know damn-well that's BS. >.> Just some Conservatives and Republicans... and I'm certain some Democrats too think that way, and I'm sure most of those are the ones of your gender... >.> *Smiles* XD Just to clear up these generalizing terms.

And remember, Stereotypes are GENERALLY bad! (padump-chhh!)

Sorry, I guess I should have said "Republican Party", because the party leaders most certainly are doing the things I said. That said, I was hoping some of you rank and file Republicans could explain why you put up with this bullshit from your leaders?

Because it isn't bull shit, it's bear shit. >.> You guys are the ones that bring in all the housing issues. XD ( ... )
