Put a Republican on hard times and he will surely go sucking on the same Government tit that he claims to despise. Or she, for that matter.

Even among those struggling to find work, Mr. Tolleson is not alone in his views. In a recent survey of the unemployed by Rutgers University, more than one in four respondents was opposed to renewing the current extended unemployment benefits. Three out of five said recipients should be required to take training courses.

Mr. Tolleson, who lives in Houston and whose last good job was working for a group that aims to replace the income tax with a national sales tax, said he filed for unemployment after a church said it could not help him otherwise. But, he said, he knows the money is not free: "They either tax it from somebody who's making money or they're going to print it — either way, the economy goes down."

Theresa Gorski, a pharmaceutical sales rep in Detroit before losing her job 17 months ago, once shared his skepticism of prolonging unemployment benefits.

"If you would have asked me five years ago, I would have said no, because I always considered myself a Republican," said Ms. Gorski, 50. "But now being in this position, with a college education and lots of work experience behind me, I find myself swinging more liberal, and more Democrat. And that would never have happened before."

This recession has left more people unemployed for longer than ever before. In September, nearly seven million people were receiving unemployment benefits, and the Census Bureau says the payments lifted more than three million people out of poverty last year. Keeping the extensions in place for another year would cost $49 billion, the White House estimates.

You confuse Republicans with RINOs.

You confuse Republicans with RINOs.

I second the motion.

How do you convert a Democrat?

Mugging by government or by a member of one of the special protected classes who does drugs and crime because no one loved him, or gave him a chance, or like LT, he was born with the wrong skin color which justifies his horrid and mean outlook on life and others...

Zombie "Big Tent" Reagan would kick your ass.

How do you turn a Democrat into a Republican

Provide a democratic candidate who states: 'Yea, I smoked weed-- BUT I DIDN'T INHALE.'

A man who can make that rationalization can rationalize almost ANYTHING.

It's terribly unfortunate; a brilliant man, a once-in-a-lifetime gifted politician...and you can't, in good conscience, vote for the party you've supported for 40 years.

It so tainted the Democratic party, one feels compelled to vote for a halfwit, instead of the tainted man's Vice President because he was so associated with the taint - on the misplaced belief that people like Rumsfeld, Cheney and Powell would keep the halfwit out of trouble.

That's how you turn a democrat into a republican.

I went from Democrat to Libertarian.

They are more like the Democrat Party of my Grandfather.

They Republicans are more like the Democrat Party of my Father...

Hey, hey, ho ho,
LBJ has got to go!
Hey, hey, ho ho,
LBJ has got...,

I never liked Reagan, cuz he was too willing to play ball with the Democrats at home as he crushed socialism abroad.

I hated Reagan.

Of course, I was still a Democrat...

Could be because socialism abroad and Democrats at home at the time had about as much in common as nulclear holocaust and cheese.

Not true.

That explains the Reagan Democrats.

There's a reason Bill Ayers and Van Jones are in the Democrat Party.

 

[Liar]

Not true.

Well, not if you're a paranoid hysteric with no sense of perspective.

But hey, each to their own. It's adorable to watch.

Then describe the difference and let us see if it is only a matter of degree...

 

[Liar]

Then describe the difference and let us see if it is only a matter of degree...

I have several times, but you refuse to listen it seems.

Western style Socialism/Social Democracy is based on the rejection of the most important core tenet of Soviet style Socialism/Communism. That of revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat.

And also, yes, it's a matter of degree. Like between Häagen-Dazs and a TIG arc. That's why I wrote "with no sense of perspective".

Super answer. My work here is done.

Q: How do you turn a Republican into a Democrat?

A: Go back in time or wait a few years for the political platform to change.

It's always about race with you people.

Funny how you're scared to address how skin color turned so many white people into liberals.

I've got you on the run a lot these days.

 

[LJ_Reloaded]

So much for looking to Church to help you.

Mr. Tolleson, who lives in Houston and whose last good job was working for a group that aims to replace the income tax with a national sales tax, said he filed for unemployment after a church said it could not help him otherwise.

So how did this religious Republican dude get in this kind of bind, eh?

[CandiCame]

Find a really, really hot democrat who's talking politics- preferably one of whatever gender makes their loins stir.

That's the easiest way to convert anyone to anything, really.

It's safe to count all the Republicans here as RINOs, right? Sitting around for hours on a porn site that peddles gay sex fantasies? A true conservative wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this.

Remove 98% of his brain

 

[Dream59]

That is easy. You remove their brain.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I hated Reagan.

Of course, I was still a Democrat...

I still think Reagan was a closet Democrat and liberal.

 

[NeverEndingMe]
