They want him to die. The Republicans hate the Earth so they constantly dig-up dirty coal to burn it to pollute this planet. They hate us and all over life which is why they want to stop him. Stop him. They hate us all. No one should ever vote for them.
Don't be ridiculous; Republicans don't "hate the Earth" or "hate us all".
Basically, there's two kinds of Republicans: religious kooks (like Santorum or Huckabee) and libertarians/ultra-capitalists. Some are a bit of a mixture of the two, but usually they're in one or the other camp, though even the libertarian ones will pander to the religious kooks to get votes (like Rand Paul).
The libertarian ones are basically sociopathic (along with their buddies in polluting industries), and simply don't care about th
As the Libertarian Party itself says, there's more than one axis for political thought; according to them, there's economic versus social axes. The "libertarians" in the Democratic camp aren't really libertarian, they're only libertarian on social issues (I'm like this). Basically, they think you should be able to smoke pot, marry whoever you want, etc., but when it comes to corporations and the environment, they want a lot more regulation. Real libertarians want very minimal (if any) regulation of corpo
You forgot a third type of Republican: the conservative Republican.
Conservative as in they are for conservation, not because they're prudes who are against short skirts or raunchy behavior. Theodore Roosevelt was the model conservationist republican.
Basically these are people who like the things they had in their lives and want to conserve them for future generations. This includes their society, culture, and the environment.
In recent times they have lost power to Establishment republicans who favor big bus

Make up your mind, which is it? They aren't prudes, or they want to keep society and culture at a standstill.
Oh please. Those Republicans haven't been around since the Democrats were the party of the KKK. The parties have completely switched places in the last 50 years or less. That's why the party of Lincoln and Teddy is now the party of racism and big business, whereas what used to be the party of Andrew Jackson (Mr. Trail of Tears) and the South is now the party that tries to claim it's for environmentalism and diversity.
That only describes the lunatic fringe, kind of like saying all Democrats were out on Wall Street blocking traffic.
The other 95% of Republicans are as close to the center as most Democrats, albeit fiscally a bit more conservative, socially not quite as enthusiastic about entitlement programs, and are open to discussions of responsible energy policy.
That's BS; if it were true, the entire panel of Republican primary contestants wouldn't be from the "lunatic fringe". Unless there's a bit of truth to your statements and that's why Trump is so popular....
There are some on the fringe. But one could say the same about the Democrats (I hope you don't consider Hillary and Sanders main stream).
Trump is only popular with Democrats who say they're Republicans when they respond to a poll. Their only hope for the White House this time is to get him to run against Clinton, but I don't expect either to get the nomination
The problem is that the republican party houses the lunatic fringe rather than cursing them like the dogs they truly are. As to whether it is from cult like off shoots of legitimate Christian churches or the loonie tune libertarians the republican party needs to oust these people. If you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas or more directly if a candidate has a base filled with nut jobs then that candidate will have to keep those nut jobs happy to keep his position. That makes that candidate a
Exactly, that's the problem. There are/were some Christians who believe that conservationism (/"stewardship") was part of their responsibility, and while I disagree with the theology, I really like and appreciate the sentiment, and also agree that we have a responsibility to take of this place, for multiple reasons. Even the Muslims [talkingpointsmemo.com] seem to have this viewpoint now, so it's really sad and pathetic that most Christians in America basically seem to think the Earth is theirs to fuck up however they want.
Big coal also wanted him dead (Score:-1, Flamebait)
