Talking Points

The Republican Party

Why is this party so out of touch with reality? Why is it so out of touch with reality? Why can't it acknowledge the problems in Iraq and not present an alternative plan? Both parties are guilty of this. As we enter 2007, the party has sluggishly presented some candidates that are out of touch. Some of these candidates include Brownback and Romney, both hypocritical and social conservatives. As a libertarian both of these candidates make me cringe. Brownback is perhaps the worst choice for the Republican party, and could lead to a decline in the party's image. It is important that there is a capable candidate able to attract moderate and centrist voters like myself.

The Republicans in this country seem to also be less concerned with terrorism and more preoccupied in protecting their notions of marriage. Or perhaps could it be because they are more preoccupied in imposing their moral viewpoints on others? I can understand the outcry against "Zoo", a recent 'documentary' which is quite sickening (depicting bestiality).

I think it is important that we focus on the issues like Iraq or terrorism. I think it is important that we focus on repairing the blatant mismanagement in Iraq by formulating a focused, concise plan. So far I feel that both political parties have failed this country, greatly.
