A True Republican

[Biafrans7]

Abraham Lincoln would not join today's republican party for fundamental ideological differences. Today's republican party equals criminal corporate capitalism and ignorant wicked racist classism.

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

Lincoln was a representation of the republican party back in that time. The current republican party is just a spoonfeeder for the rich and powerful. They are all bought by big businesses.

The democratic party is suffering from the same thing, though in lesser scale.

[TheCaliCapitalist]

Todays republicans wouldnt dare vote for the voting rights act.

[Frogboss6]

@TheCaliCapitalist Wow thats a very ignorant statement.  You're saying that EVERY Republican wouldn't vote for the voting rights act. Most Republicans are white middle Americans. Therefore you are using a stereotype to put them all in the same block. That's kind of ironic since liberals demonize anyone for stereotyping some kind of minority group. Don't know if you are a liberal but I'm just saying. I guess it's okay to stereotype non liberals or white middle Americans. They dont count.

[MegaELECTRICEYE]

If Republicans are so gun hole about working and etc...... Why do jobes fade away when the party they love is in power? What bunch of BS to tell liberals how lazy they are.

[Tedericoe]

Republicans were very liberal at the time of Lincoln.

[FlashVirus]

Isn't that kind of ironic? Abe Lincoln's entire political career contradicts that statement. The guy's solution to everything was government intervention. The old classical liberal Democrats would fit in with the modern GOP more than anything else.

Hopefully this burgeoning Tea Party movement can restore the Party to the principles of Taft & Goldwater rather than that of Kristol & Rockefeller.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

I personally didnt like Reagan. he didnt do anything for this country and was against Unions. Unions fight to get us working class better pay which means that Reagan tried to hold down the middle class in another republican attempt to transfer wealth to his elite base (Like George W Bush)

[theprobationer]

I like dude. The Log Cabin Republicans. All these people that were republicans like lincoln have completely went backwards on their views, and that is why I hate them.

[AtlasShruggery]

How sad the the political party of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt has degenerated into the political party of Dick Cheney and Limpdick Limbaugh.

[FlashVirus]

@AtlasShruggery

Lincoln was an insane dictator that didn't really care about the slaves being freed. Hes overrated as a President. Teddy Roosevelt, again, wasn't that great. And Cheney's political ideology stems from Liberal Democrats, not Conservatives.

My favorite Presidents were Grover Cleveland (Democrat) & John Tyler (Whig). The best Republicans were Taft & Goldwater imo.

[kylieluvzla]

I agree, it's a generation of brainwashed couch potatoes. Obama wants everyone at their knees, total dependence rather than independence. We should as a Nation and people always strive for success, education and self-sufficiency . These losers can go get a job!

[kylieluvzla]

The Democrats will be known as the party that DESTROYED AMERICA'S WEALTH! They're so finished, we have the GOODS this time! Lets see the party of Communism (Czars), Marxism, Socialism and most of all HIGH TAXES!!

[whitelght9]

Why do the people that have worked hard to get where they are today have to get taxed while the meek and lazy can sit around their houses all day and do nothing. Its like Obama is condoning laziness.

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

@whitelght9

Do you honestly think that the US government is providing even close to enough welfare so that people can sit at home and be lazy? How deluded, I'm a dane and our welfare state is the biggest in the world and people CAN have a decent life without a job, but are people staying home and staying lazy because of it? No they aren't, people seem to like to have something to do because it creates a social and more economically decent life for them.

People like you make me vomit.

[SirLancelotV2]

dude, you watch the video?...Ikeeping up with the times is why I made it.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

I'll have some log cabin syrup to go with that

[Piglatinsuperstar]

listen to the bs fly! Your party is finished

[SirLancelotV2]

I'm a log cabin republican and my party lives eternal.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

Your party looks like it living in the past. You all need to keep up with the times!

[iongi229]

@Piglatinsuperstar LOL! We're americans. We're not Europeans. We should we do things their way? Obama is so enamored with Socialist ideas that he wants to force us to change. Over 70 percent of the nation didn't want healthcare and he still passed it. The most liberal state, Mass., elected a republican just to stop healthcare reform. You're among many of idiot americans that think very simply. It's very sad.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

You mean if they have a system that drives down their costs we shouldnt use it ourselves? That's your reasoning? You conservatives are too stuck in the past that's your problem. 1776 is over time the tea party revolution a thing of the past, socilaism a thing of the past, and soon the republican party will go the way of the whigs

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

your party had its 8 years to "show us" but your success wound up a disaster. It will be a pleasure to watch your faces as Obama wins another term. After all it Bush can do it, Obama will do it. I dont understand why you needed Bush two terms, it really wrecked your future chances and destroyed your party's rep as a bunch of angry psychotic liars.

[iongi229]

@Piglatinsuperstar The only suppose lie that Bush ever told is the one I assume was a decision base on CIA and FBI evidence which led us to war. If that's a lie then I guess every fact I get and doesn't prove it so is to a lie. Obama lied more times in a single year than Bush did in all 8 years in office. Obama more than tripled the deficit in less than a year and a half but yet still adds more liabilities like Healthcare Reform. I thought jobs and the economy was important. I guess not.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

Bush's lie cost taxpayers a trillion $ and he didnt even invest it here in the US . Yet you expect the country to become outraged becuz Obama wants to drive down costs. That's unamerican

and another thing; why dont you republicans own up to your mistakes? you fucked up the country

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

I really hate what you, your party did to this country the last 8 years driving it into the ground. the fact that you voted him in twice, how could you be so stupid? Then you still defend the liar to this day. You must shut off your tv set for 8 years and in case you missed it: Worst President Ever! No Democrat would have ever left our air space open to such an attack. it just proves a republican cant do anything right

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

anyways just be grateful Obama came along to straighten out your mess just the way Clinton came along to straighten out the era of republican deficits. Thank you Bill for a job well done. It's not your fault Bush stole the election. YOu can read about the very sucessful first 14 months of Obama's 1st term in this week's newsweek. I know it's not what you were hoping for "I want Obama to fail!"

[Piglatinsuperstar]

@iongi229

next thing you know you'll be telling me Newsweek is not a reliable news source, as if you are. But facts are facts and while I may respect the view point of someone more educated than myself I will never respect the viewpoint of someone less educated

[keyboardplaya]

If the old-school republicans were running for office today, I'd actually have to THINK when choosing a candidate.

[FlashVirus]

@keyboardplaya

How old school? You mean the Progressive-Fascist Republicans from Lincoln's era or the Old Right like Robert Taft or Goldwater? Because we do have some Goldwater Republicans running.

[Atomsmasher777]

Acting with lightning speed, the Democratic-led House has approved a bill to slap punishing taxes on big employee bonuses from firms bailed out by taxpayers.

This is something the Republicans would never do, because they're pigs that only help the rich scam as much money as they can get.

[SirLancelotV2]

you think what they have done is good?.....wow. so when they target '"you" pr your "type" fpr special taxes, that'll be ok with you?...Listen everyone agrees AIG is a mess, but what the Dems did is ridiculous and unconstitutional.

[Piglatinsuperstar]

you must be talking about the same employees that took down the banks. What a fool!

[HyperSonic9000]

Hillary is a left leaning moderate, not a moderate. Same with Bill.

[mithrandel111]

Id like to know why you consider them left leaning. I cant think of a single left leaning decision that was ever made between the two of them. From Walmart to NAFTA to dont ask dont tell. All right leaning ideals. I think there more like neo cons in moderate clothing.

[HyperSonic9000]

Well, for one, health care reform. Maybe not as left leaning as Obama, but left leaning on healthcare reform nontheless. Hillary in particular fought quite hard for Socialized healthcare during the 90s. Although, sadly, her plans were never seen through. I'm pretty sure she sides with her husbands tax policies, which are considerably identical to Obama's. And if it's any consolation, his advocacy on homosexuals in the armed forces.

[vmahodge]

Seattle huh?? lol I thought that I was the only Republican in Washington state.

[lilwillkersey]

licon was a repbulican but not as we are today

[Signal337]

The National Republican Party is "stuck in the "Political Elevator". The Republicans are going nowhere. Hey, Where is Dan Qualye? Sarah Palin is hillariously funny.

[josephusofantioch]

Why does the Republican Logo (the elephant) have 3 upside-down stars on it?

The Pentagram is a Satanic symbol.

[Kubelwagen]

The Republican party generally supports lower taxes, balanced budgets including a Balanced Budget Amendment to the US Constitution, and limited government in most economic areas allowing for more economic freedom.

[NetSalon]

That is the theory, the practice has been less then stellar recently, this from "A True Republican".

[Zbzorz]

If Reagan was such a great president than how come his approval ratings were so low during his actual term in office? Look it up! Also, his economic policies left America with a crushing debt just to help out the richest 1% of America. His foreign policy was admirable, but now Republicans spit in his face by refusing to engage our enemies in diplomacy like Reagan smartly did.

[bosoxceltspatsfan]

Any great President is always HATED during their term. If you're not being hated you are probably not doing much. Many historians credit the 90's economic wealth to Reaganomics.

[naturalrights14]

the republicans of the past around the civil war are not the true republicans of the day that you are talking about. The party has changed is the past 150 years and for the better if you want to educate people on true republicans use Reagan not Lincoln.

[acjpb]

Well, let's see? The Democrats stand for socialism, civil rights, diplomacy, as they appear to be? Now, I see the underlieing reason behind this, but it is simply irrational on how they approach it. Republicans don't want war, we just believe it is necessary sometimes. We don't like government spending, and welfare is what is keeping lower class citizens... lower class. They don't work and get an education, not in that order. Republicans believe in indivuality and respesct. Dems for sex-rebels

[kristoffersayshi]

republicans give such respect to gays like me i feel like an idividual that can't join the army

[TheRealEmit]

Aberham Lincon was the first and last good republican

Bush is an embarassment to this country

[nimrod343]

W is great...long live the Dub!!!!!!!!!!!!

[samtheliberal]

That's because abraham lincoln was a liberal.

[acjpb]

Guess what? He was actually more of a moderate, which in History, has been more of a Republican thing. In social and civil rights, he did appear as a liberal. But the major reason why he freed the slaves was so he could cripple the south. The Proclamation was never signed. As for economic stance, he was primarily centrist, prefering to ride out the economy, but keeping the government from spending and getting into the buisness of state government. He did push for people to work for themselves.

[granolajohn]

again false, moderates have been placed under the democratic side or the independent side, Hillary for example is a moderate

[iongi229]

@samtheliberal maybe so but he's a republican. Although the action is one that was outside the means of those times. He's still a republican. Firmly believing in the individuals right. That's republican. Individual rights and accountability for one self is true freedom. Not having government tell us what's right. That's what "liberals and progressives" want. And nearly all of them are democrats!

[nikkiwhoop]

Is it just me our dose it seem like there's a lot of hate towards the republican party? It was nice to watch a pro republican video for a change. Dose the left ever have any thing positive to say.

[MFREDGODARD]

Hey ringoramjet I want to know where is your proof that he brought immigrants into the U.S.

[ringoramjet]

Hmmmm!gas up 100% and going higher,utilities up 200%,health insurance up about 300% which in turn is sending all this high end employment overseas,freclosures the highest since the depression and going higher,bitchin' now about immigration after Goofy Reagan was bringing 'em in by the busload to break labor,I think i'll vote Republican

[SirLancelotV2]

Is what I'm saying....the party has seemingly lost it's way, but put a Dem in there..??? what, Hillary? I don't think so.

[petsounds75]

Gee, Cook...sounds to me like you want to sniff Rudy's buttcrack up close and personal. All you have is "liberal, liberal, liberal". Hey, liberals suck - that is true. However, so does Rudy and Romney. They all suck whale shit. By the way...is 1993 your birth year or are you going to deny it like every Neocon net rambo? Just asking because you argue like a little girl.

[SirLancelotV2]

I just discovered your a child, my apologies and congratulations on being involved in your government, that puts you out front in your age group. Keep up the good work kid, but increase your vocabulary and don't cuss, people will respect you more.

[JackRussle1992]

Haha thankyou sir! I appreciate it. Hay by the way Im going to London with my dad for like 2.5 weeks so I'll be away from a computer for like 1 day. You know traveling and all that stuff. I really did like this war we had. And Im glad we came to an agreement. And your right I didn't see all your videos. I will though. Your a pretty smart guy. Friends?

[SirLancelotV2]

The Title of the Video is "True Republican"....I say the words..."This why I am a Republican" in the video. I have been recognized by the Republican Party over the last 2 decades and am the recipient of the Ronald Reagan Republican Gold Medal in 2005....your one of the reasons people don't like the Republican Party anymore...you ignorant, kill'em all, infinitesimal, little dweeb...pay attention.

[SirLancelotV2]

Age and You Tube like hmmmm let me see, every candidate we have on both sides of the aisle? I'm sure you would like it reserved for neophytes like you but, no, wake up kid and take a big whiff of what your shoveling...You still have not made a case for your original point. Do you believe the Republican Party and its candidates are "Looking Good?"

[SirLancelotV2]

Clearly you have not seen my other videos. Still with the homo erotic fantasies and a clear demonstration of being a deeply disturbed lil fella with little to no grasp of the meanings of your own words? Metaphorical War???

[SirLancelotV2]

An auspicious beginning kid, a colorful superlative followed by a a homo erotic metaphor...also it's quite clear the "lil fella" comments I made earlier have touched a nerve with you, as you are repeating them to me, so we can add lacking original thought to your list of inadequacy to the task at hand.

My suggestion is you go back to the Video Drome from whence you came and "blow stuff up"...that's more your speed, or would you really prefer to dance with me in your closet?

[SirLancelotV2]

kinda doubt that....your sleeping right now lil fella, sleep walking, sleep talking and sleep writing it seems. Your getting plenty of sleep lil fella you could afford to lose a bit....but like I said, kinda doubt you will.

Now as a general rule I won't engage someone in a battle of wits when they are so hopelessly ill equipped and unarmed, but if it will wake you up...let's have a lash, shall we?

[SirLancelotV2]

Clearly a high intellect at work, any other snappy remarks? You disagree, great, state your point of view. If an expletive is the best you can come up with, lil fella enjoy Reality TV and another beer....I'd rethink the MENSA application if I was you and stick to blowin stuff up, or model airplanes or other such pass times that don't require a coherent written form of communication or much brain power. Stay Asleep.

[ancestralyuba]

Pity the young with poor educations.

They're often shocked to learn that Democrats were the pro-slavery party, and consistently fought against voting rights for blacks straight into the 20th century until Kennedy got on the bandwagon created by the Republican party.

[brouhajoe]

Well said. Please take your party back.

[SirLancelotV2]

No bet there...he'd cry you a river.
