What emotions beside greed drive the typical Republican?

Republicans have emotions? Whoda thunkit

Well not all of them are greedy. I come from a Republican family and they are all about helping the underprivileged.

I think you are talking about the Neo-Cons,

The same as drive any Conservative from any nation..... Xenophobia. Militarism. Jingoism. Hypocrisy and Religious Fervour.

I'm republican and far from greedy. I don't know how, over the years, republicans have come to get this image, but it's not true. What is so greedy about wanting to keep the money you worked for instead of handing it out to someone else? Republicans don't want to fund every "social service" out there. It's called being smart. Once we have no more money to give, then what?

Emotions drive Democrats, not Republicans. Logic drives Republicans.

Republicans are just stuck in the same old train of thoughts. Really going back to basics and not just talking about it is what's needed now to help these times of financial crisis.

Anger, self-righteousness and obedience to The Party. Comrade Chairman Steele is on Morning Joe right now.

don't forget deeply held shame and self-loathing, and their consequent psychological projection onto other people

I don't know any greedy republicans. I know republicans who are honest, hard working, PAY THEIR TAXES, and want what is best for our great country.

Hatred is right up there
