Do Republicans Have Souls?

There is no such thing as a soul. This is a silly notion dating back to pre-scientific times when we had no explanation for thought, didn't understand anything about neuroscience, and were under the sway of religious powers that dominated the politics of the times.

I'm sure they have souls, but I sometimes wonder if they have hearts.

Some do but they are being pushed out of the party.

Ugh first of all I'm a Democrat who is voting for Obama and working on his campaign....

However this rhetoric has to stop. This is the type of stuff dividing America from both the right and left. I doorbell many houses where people get all angry and claim that Obama is a Muslim. Lets stick to the issues and not demean the other side.

Get real who in their right mind believes any politician has a soul. The only sole they have is the one they walk all over you suckers with.

And as far as I can see, neither does anybody else.

I had to choose an answer, so I picked one at random. However: just stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop antagonizing the other side. Stop making them out to be evil or heartless devils. They're not-- at the end of the day, we're all ordinary people.

This goes for both Republicans, Democrats, everything in between, and everything outside of that: learn to have intelligent discussions and debates with people who disagree with you. Attitudes like this (the one in the question) only make the problems worse.

agreed. sadly even when they are the ones in the wrong, they use this stuff as justification. I understand wanting a little fun, but maybe in a personal/private space?

Just stop at the word Yes and go no further. Do you hear how stupid you sound? Gee, no, I don't have a soul, I'm a Republican. Bullcrap. You are opinionated and very much out of line with your choice of responses and ridiculous rhetoric in your posting. People need to cease and desist with the broad-brush name-calling and start speaking in specifics. Our country has lots of problems that need work immediately. Think you can stop with the hate-mongering and sit down and talk about solutions? Oh, gee, that asking too much? Sorry.

A mean spirited soul, but a soul none the less

Wow! Full of hate are we?

idk are you?

Your answers would seem to point in that direction. What have we Republicans done to you to deserve such judgement?

What HAVEN'T Republicans done wrong? Talk about useless!

I had to choose "no" but I think it's a generalization. MOST Republicans appear to be soul-less and heartless but you can't lump them all into one group of haters. I think the party has just gone so far right, they don't know how to turn around. Their motto is "Never admit you were wrong."

yep!

How do you post something like this and then have the nerve to cry about being blocked, you should check on your own soul.....just saying

waaa

Not the politicians or pundits... That's for sure. Between the Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh... Sleletor from He-Man has more of a soul than the combined lot of them Especially the late 80s Frank Langela version.

I don't know how ANYONE could support those people.

They have solds. They are the Ferengi of the US.

lol

I don't think every Repo is Dick Cheney. Nor is every Christian on a Crusade, but they do seem to attract each other and cause a lot of damage.

yes. well said.

I'm definitely not a Republican, but I would hardly paint them all with the same brush. SOME of them are actually quite wonderful people. I am incredibly progressive, but I have Republican friends and I am offended and turned off by this nonsense that keeps everyone at each other's throats, rather than actually discussing solutions for the country. If you're not willing to be open to other opinions and views, you're being illogical.

If you vote GOP you are not being logical.

If you vote GOP you are being guided by a different logic or emotion.

The truth is gray not black and white.
From different angles some things have two supportable viewpoints.

Work first to understand and then to persuade.
Just jamming the Republicans will make them feel only hostility and no commonality.
In the end Republican or Democrat we are all in the same country and we have more in common than we have differences.
It is in the best interests of the 1% if we argue while the 99% would be best served in my opinion by finding points of commonality.

==============================

For example:

Well you sure are stupid. Why don't you see things my way?

Result:

Builds a wall and then throws challenges over it. Pushing the other side to dig in and then discount everything you say.

===============================

Next example:

That is an interesting opinion. Have you consider the XYZ point?

Result:

Builds a connection and then offer a point to consider. May allow for a minor change in a larger opinion.

Since I have read up and studied the differences between Dem and Rep, I have started to vote a straight Republican ticket.

Well we all do stupid things in our lives.

And on what do you base that assumption?

yes but they sell it when they get power so its like living in your house after you sell it and once you die it stays goes to hell to become satans slave

Well actually don't know. Why don't you ask one??

They sold them...

everyone has a soul....
unless they're gingers

Oh, I should have picked the first one.

Anyways, I'm not saying all Republicans are soulless but the ones running for office sure are.

At best, the Republican party is evil and at worst, controlled by the devil.
At best, the Democratic party of incompetent and at worst, spineless cowards.

I do not believe in souls... so no just like everyone else!

yes they have the good news is that they will be at a higher level in hell than dems.who were and still want to be salve holders,who got us in the civil war,ww1 and ww2, by their dumbness
