In nearly every election over the last 50 years Republicans start out about 20 points below the Democratic nominee once that person has been established. That number gets less and less as the election approaches and the Republican wins. Why does this happen? The liberal media supports the Democrat and they get tons of free press and they back them. Keep your eyes on the numbers. McCain and the Republican party is at work as I type this.

Vote for wisdom and experience. Vote for someone that loves America and always has. Vote McCain.

The Republican party seems doomed but I am sure they will regroup to fight in four years. Has the Republicans been ruined for a long time or can they remake themselves to compete? What do you envision for their future? What’s your educated prediction? Thanks!

Do you think they will have a chance of nominating a candidate of defeating Obama? Right now, it seems as if there are a lot of conservatives who don’t like Obama and they are dissatisfied with the Republican party as well. What are the chances that those people will actually be satisfied with a Republican candidate?

FYI-I’m not a republican supporter. I’m just interested in hearing everyone’s opinions. Thanks in advance.

I know the story behind the Democratic Party’s symbol being the Donkey, that Andrew Jackson started it and a cartoonist got it going. I know that reasoning, I just wanted to know why the Republican Party’s symbol is an elephant? I know that the Republicans are the GOP, Grand Old Party, and I just wanted to know why that was there symbol. Did it have anything to do with Lincoln being the first true Republican? What is the story behind it? Links would be great. Thank you.

Why do the democrats say "Democratic" party there is no such thing as the "Democratic" party its the democrat party. There is no "Republiccratic" party it is the republican party.So why do the special democrats get to say "Democratic" it is the democrat party right.
