23. Not really.
They stand behind their supporters and get shit passed! (Like what? Tax cuts for the rich. Oh, I forget that their constituents are all rich. When was the last time a Republican passed a jobs bill? Guess their constituents don't need jobs.)

They submit bills THEIR supporters want! (Yea, the Terry Schiavo bill was a big hit.)

They fight harder for their stances than the Dems ever do! (Tell that to Paul Ryan.)

They unite when needed to pass bills their supporters want! (Like tax cuts for the rich? Torture?)

They arm twist their senate and house members and get the votes they need! (Tell that to Specter, Collins and Snowe)

They control the public stupidity much better than the Dems do, they lie most of the time, but they know how to control it! (Media controls public stupidity, the GOP is just the beneficiary.)

Our party basically is a hodge podge of people worried about their own asses and not the party. (The Democratic Party is comprised of people who think for themselves. The Party doesn't advocate purity tests.

Republicans simply operate to destroy shit, and their constituents don't look to them for solutions, just a win over Democrats. Why? Because they benefit from the bills passed by Democrats (see the stimulus).
