Much like Jews were cast for literally a thousand years (and more) as "Satanic," "having hidden horns", "eating babies" and "out to eliminate mankind," and much like Russians were viewed in the past century as "cold," "scary" and out to get us all even to their own detriment--it didn't matter, so long as they destroyed the U.S., and much like all Muslims are currently viewed as terrorists who (sensing a trend here?) are illogically and for no provoked reason out to destroy the U.S...non-Republicans are viewed as trying to rip up the very fabric of society.
And like the three examples prior to the Repub/Dem one, the accusations are overblown, based on almost nothing and are designed to drive like an ice pick directly into the human psyche of fear, which, luckily for Republicans, is not a logical or rational part of the brain. It's a reactionary one.
Hence, no matter what their candidate did (or neglected to do), no matter how dangerous their candidate could be for everyone, and no matter how ill-qualified their candidate may be...a quick dose of "but the OPPOSITE candidate CONSORTS WITH TERRORISTS!" will immediately bring the sheeple running back, saying, "I'm so sorry, Daddy. Please forgive me. I'll vote for you, I'LL DO ANYTHING, just so long as you don't let the Democrat terrorists get us!"
It's an old, old trick, thousands and thousands of years old...and for the non-thinking, it still works.
Scare the sh * t out of them, particularly with a threat, no matter how irrational, that they couldn't possibly fight on their own, and they're yours...forever. Make them believe that you've protected them from Satan incarnate, and they're in your pocket.
and I guess your creed is to insinuate that all republicans belong to the KKK. looks like you are taking a page out of the republican play book with the fear thing.
God is real, this life wasn't for nothing
Hard work got me where I'm at, not the Govt
I'm so glad I was born in America
The things in life I remember the most is when I did things on my own, failed, picked myself up and achieved.
That is why people are republicans, especially older people.
The idealistic pot smoking youth who think hard work is for the birds and that the world should be one big island where everyone makes the same amount of money and we can all live happily every after.. that's the liberal idea.. although with age even they get wisdom.
Unable to give you anymore reps, but all your posts are 'right on'. You speak the TRUTH!!! KEEP IT UP!!
You really should stop using a term like that. It is EXTREMELY insulting.
Oh really? As insulting as Obama Bin Laden? DemoCrack? How about Libertard? That was on here just last night.
Just wondering where you personally draw the "insulting" line...granted I surely haven't read every post here, but I'm not sure I saw you jumping in with a frownie-face the HUNDREDS of times on here that such names have been called.
I did see you start a "can't we all stop calling names" thread...but I surely haven't seen you directly address people literally calling Democrats retarded. Can you please point me to those posts? Thanks a bunch.

Reason: "every," not "any"
Index was developed by a Pakistani economist.. hmmm.. I doubt that index isn't skewed to be anti-American. Tell anyone in those countries that they can come to America for free with no green card and become citizens... no strings attached. 8 out 10 would be on a plane for America.
Christ, you people are stunning. Just stunning. I can't even come up with a response.

I'm a pot smoking atheist who owns his own business. I'm a Republican. I'm also gay. Where's my stereotype?
My parents are Republicans. I voted Democratic in the last two Presidential elections because of the GOP choice. I was voting against Bush. I did not vote for Clinton.
My childhood created who I have become. The good and the bad.

How about Libertard? That was on here just last night.
