What do you think are the Republican Party's biggest selling points?

[Bossy Monkey]

They must have some; they're handing us our asses regularly. (Before you compose your withering reply, read the poll replies below; this isn't exactly a pro-Republican poll. In fact, I'm trying to put a couple real ones on just for argument's sake and I'm stumped after the tax one. Oh well.)

Edit: Decided "It's so much fun handing over our patrimony to the corporations," was better than "Spending policies that would embarrass a drunken sailor."

1. Willie Sutton said "I rob banks, that's where the money is"

The Right own the voting machine manufacturing process.
Why?
That's where the votes are...and the money.

4. The Macho Republican image covers the fact that you are

a coward.

[unkachuck]

5. other....

....it's,"voter: we promise to protect your sorry fat American ass from all enemies real or imagined"....for this, we demand everything....

6. The new GOP = Nazis R Us - it's ok to openly be a Nazi and kill brown

people enmasse... as long as you do it in the name of Jeebus Crust.

7. Take some Ayn Rand, throw in some fundamentalist shrill preaching,

corporate welfare, corporate bread and circuses in the form of a war, and then throw in some Lincoln. Lincoln Rockwell, that is. Republican = Corporate these days. They just need some scary Democrats to be the enemy for the corporations to throw Jesus, the bomb and Old Sammy at them and voila, one has a Republican, throw in some horrid haircuts and pancake makeup and you have a Republican congressman. Throw in felonious agents of oppression (Abrams, Negroponte, Wolfowitz and Bolton) and one has the Republican ideas of a foreign dept. and international diplomacy. Top off with a cult of fascism rooted in big oil (BushCo, KBR, Halliburton, etc.) and one has the military-industrial complex, which the Republicans have perfected. And we still can't find Old Sammy!

8. The complete rejection of any kind of social responsibility...

... all while claiming that it is what is best for society.

[leftofthedial]

9. hate

they've mastered the art of stimulating the hate clit buried inside the primate brain

[sandnsea]

10. I hate you cuz

it's easier than admitting I'm a total failure.

[saltpoint]

11. I like Lowell Weicker, Pete McCloskey, and Abraham Lincoln.

After that, most other Republicans are dismissable at best.

The only thing I really think they have going for them is that their symbol, the elephant, represents a great animal.

But that's it.
