Hahaha. The people at the Washington Post think EVERYBODY thinks like they do. They DESPISE the Republican Party so everybody does, right??

All the work they've done to denigrate and excoriate and marginalize the Republican Party has worked to a point but the people don't buy that crap forever.

Thanks to the RINOs, we have become the Hold-your-nose-vote

I don’t care very much for the Republican Party right now either but I’ll reserve my “hate” for the Democrats.

[skeeter]

I guess it never occurred to the writer that people freaking hate the democrat party, as well.

Pathetic.

And yet we’ll easily hold the House *and* take the Senate in a few weeks.

[Raycpa]

I have a negative view of the GOP. But they are the lesser of evil.

[muir_redwoods]

What WaPo will never understand is that the majority of Americans think of politicians of any party as undesirable and the parties they belong to as virtually little better than criminal organizations. A kind of Bradley effect may boost the response to the democrats but in general we all (almost) hate all politicians and both major parties.

I don’t hate the Republican Party or even dislike the Republican Party but I do strongly dislike quite a few Republican members!!!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Have another drink, Speaker Boehner. BUURAAAAAAAAP!!!

The most interesting fact in the article: "While 63 percent of Democrats approve of their party's congressional members, just 34 percent of Republicans say the same." Is that conservatives disapproving of RINOs - or vice versa - or both?

[Waryone]

The democrats are marxist wannabes. I hate them. I hate the republican party too, but I hate them because they are democrat wannabes.

[Vaduz]

Agree eyes have been opened to the fact of what side is Mafia law and the other is the law for the people.

[Billthedrill]

While 63 percent of Democrats approve of their party's congressional members, just 34 percent of Republicans say the same. Among independents and members of the opposite party, it's almost exactly even. And those other Republicans, we'll bet you, will still vote GOP

Many a truth is said in jest. This is exactly the problem - the eGOP can count on conservative votes without being conservative because they don't have to be conservative in order to get their votes. So long as this is true, nothing will change. And what I find frustrating about this is that even the disastrous election of the most radical progressive we've had in the White House hasn't put a dent in this smug, blithe attitude.

That is also why the Tea Party appears such a mortal threat to these trough-feeders. But for now they're still Establishment, and Establishment is forever. Ask the Whigs.

[Arrowhead1952]

If there was a fair and balanced media, instead of the current state run media, the dims would be hated more than the Republicans. bammy would still be in the US senate, instead of the white hut.

[gnarledmaw]

Not much of an article when one stops to think about it.

Liberals love Democrats but hate Republicans.
Conservatives hate Democrats AND hate Republicans.

It has something to do with and understanding of liberty (see tag).

- Hillary Rotton Clinton got 15% some years ago when Free Republic had Sidebar Poll

- Now Stealthy lefty Trolls number about 15% and more on Free Republic threads

[Personal Responsibility]

I do despise the Republican Party.

The author assumes I harbor this hatred because they’re not liberal. I don’t. I hate them because they do not represent the principles in action they claim to by voice He’d be

[marron]

Nobody hates the GOP more than the Republican rank and file.

[nhwingut]

Aaron Blake unaware that conservatives, unlike progressives, will be honest and state that they hate the GOP.

But at the same time will never vote for the Democrats.

Hence the disconnect.
