New York Republican Party

Carla Said:

Why is Staten Island the only part of New York City where the Republican Party wins?

We Answered:

You do know that Staten Island is where the other 4 boroughs dump their trash.

Regina Said:

Are the new tea party screaming conservatives destroying the traditional republican party?

We Answered:

Yes, they are. The Republican Party used to be much more moderate before the 1980 presidential election. In those days, the party platform supported abortion rights but only marginally. Nowadays, the Republican Party is largely led by extremists who have driven out the more moderate members and those people have since become Independents or Democrats.

Erika Said:

During the election of 1800, who was the Republican VP candidate that helped his party carry New York?

We Answered:

Aaron Burr. In that day, the Constitution allowed the person with the most electoral votes to become president (provided he had a majority). Whoever came in number two was vice president. Thus, Jefferson was vice president under Adams, even though they politically opposed each other by then.

However, Jefferson and Burr ran on a ticket, so each had exactly the same number of electoral votes. Burr took advantage of this to try to become president, and it took 36 ballots in the House of Representatives to decide the issue. Finally, Alexander Hamilton decided that, though he did not like Jefferson, he hated Burr, so Hamilton threw Federalist support to Jefferson, allowing him to be elected. Burr was outraged, and this was one of the incidents which drove Burr to kill Hamilton later in a duel.

In the wake of this difficulty, Congress passed, and the states ratified, the 12th amendment. Now, presidential and vice-presidential electors vote separately for each office.

Billy Said:

Can McCain take New York?

We Answered:

He better worry about North Carolina and Virginia, which are now a dead heat.

Ian Said:

What does it say about the Republican Party when the former Mayor of New York?

We Answered:

Clearly he meant "since we went on the offensive".


NO ONE denies that 9/11 happened while Bush was in office, and nobody dealt with it more personally that Rudy.

Give the guy some slack and stop slicing words.... you know what he's talking about. Obama is INTENTIONALLY adopting the FAILED program from Bill Clinton and treating all these attacks as 'legal issues' instead of acts of war.


Obama softened our position... and we've been attacked twice by Muslims. Does ANY of this surprise you??? Would you lower your gloves if you were in a boxing match? Obama did!

Theodore Said:

What is next on the agenda of New York & LA liberals who had easily hijacked the Republican Party with PINK?

We Answered:

CA is like a whole other country and I could careless what happens there .

Brittany Said:

Is the Republican Party like the New York Yankees?

We Answered:

The Cubs.
