If it wasn't for their freedom hating stances, the GOP would completely implode.

Absurd and biased poll, with sweeping generalizations without specifics. Not to mention poor grammar to top it off. Needless to say I do not intend to participate.

the biggest failure of your post is your assumption that democrat voters do so based on the liberal platform and

democrats are in it for the free stuff not because they share the view of some anti-global warming, save the polkadotted snail darter of South Utah, unwashed UCLA dingaling...

That's like asking if we'd vote Democrat if they removed all of their baby murdering, slutty, freedom grabbing views.

For decades, I voted Republican. My family was Republican for generations, with two of my grandparents holding elective office as Republicans.

Now, none of us votes GOP.

It isn't just the bass-ackawards culture wars they're perpetuating. Their economic view is horribly flawed. Their clamoring for more and bigger middle east wars is simply insane. The strong opposition to science and education is incredibly stupid of them.

No, the GOP has undergone a horrible transformation. One that's damaging to America. I don't vote to support the Democrats. I vote to oppose the current mutation of what was once a viable and reasonable political party. My hope is that eventually, they'll return to sanity. But they're giving absolutely no indication of that.

You can't possibly comprehend anything beyond our current corrupt automated "narrow the candidates for me because I'm too lazy to look out for my own existence" system that was orchestrated to keep the elite in power.

Your answer:

Throw feces at everything.

This is how you answer my response to your post 3?

I would think about it. They would also have to be fiscally responsible and proponents of a smaller, more Constitutionalist federal government. From what I've seen, Republican politicians aren't either of those.

No, they'd have to lose their devotion to increased defense spending year after year and learn the difference between offense and defense.

A system that didn't pigeonhold candidates to only 2 options. A and B. Everything is not black and white. I'm not republican nor democrat. Because neither side has the list of issues completely correct. I continue to be baffled how everyone can't see this.

I see your brainwashing is complete. LauraC is ready to tell others how to live their lives. Murdering babies, i'd love to know how democrats murder babies. Or how they are slutty and please tell me how republicans aren't p*ssing on the constitution like the democrats and trying to take away our freedoms. I love how republicans claim democrats are trying to steal freedom, while they support their republican nazi's who spend every waking hour tring to legislate and govern a woman's vagina. Let me guess, I just need to be a part of your religion, your corporate slavery, your warmongering leadership that's needs to line it's pockets with money and the world will be a better place right? Society is hopeless because the bulk of the populace is morons. Look no further than the mindless drones who believe in their "party" or champion the bipartisan system. People love controlling others and telling them how to live. It's only freedom if you do what I say and live like you want me to live, right Laura?

It's the usual intellectual dishonesty from the left. They frame the terms of the discussion so that their position is the right choice from the beginning. It's the old "when did you stop hitting your wife".

With abortion they warped the discussion so that you either support or oppose women's rights. No discussion of whether or not abortion itself should be a right. They characterize people as opposing the freedom of women, not as opposing abortion. If you oppose Obamacare then you oppose healthcare for poor people. You can't possibly simply have other ideas about how to provide healthcare to the disadvantaged. No, you either support their idea or you want people to "die in the streets". They've even got it so that if you support school choice then you're against education.

And they do this while claiming to be the party of open mindedness.
