For decades the G.O.P. has been the party of fear...
Global Warming
Health Insurance "Crisis"
Those are two issues with which Democrats have used the fear tactic - in just the past year - to further their agenda.
Everybody knows that fear is one of the most effective political tools. Don't pretend that one party does it and the other doesn't - we all know that they both do it.
...ignorance and divisiveness. All you have to do is look around to see what it has done to the country. The greatest economic inequality since the Gilded Age was followed by a near-total collapse of the overall economy. As a country, we have a monumental mess on our hands and still the Republicans have nothing to offer in the way of a remedy except more tax cuts for the rich.
This is the party of trickle down and weapons of mass destruction, the party of birthers and death-panel lunatics. This is the party that genuflects at the altar of right-wing talk radio, with its insane, nauseating, nonstop commitment to hatred and bigotry.
The party of fear............................global warming is going to destroy life as we know it, people are dying unnecessarily because we don't have universal health care, business and corporations are evil, yada yada yada................................

“If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they're going to drop your coverage, because they just can't afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year.
With more than 11 million Americans now out of work, Obama defended his program against Republican criticism that it is loaded with pork-barrel spending and will not create jobs.
"The plan is not perfect," the president said. "No plan is. I can't tell you for sure that everything in this plan will work exactly as we hope, but I can tell you with complete confidence that a failure to act will only deepen this crisis as well as the pain felt by millions of Americans."

Show me how we are not in need of cleaning up the planet whether or not it is due to climate change. Cleaning up the mess would be a by-product of alternative energy or are you in denial about the pollution of the air waters and land? There is a major reason to be concerned, especially when we have so many idiots that just do not get it.
Corporations are your friend and there for your benefit, so I imagine that you were all for the Wall Street bailouts. The crisis was just a figment of our imagination. Nothing to fear there.
When you have a loved one in dire need of health care that has been made unattainable due to the gouging of the Insurance Industrial Complex, I guess that would be reason enough to be fearful.
What an obtuse post you posted. You should be embarrased. Heck, I'm embarassed for you.

Hmmmmmm............looks like you are able to rationalize the fear from the left, so it seems, both party's deal with fear. So it seems it all depends on your perspective doesnt it?
I don't think Republican fear what they profess. It is just a lie in the hope to stop anything that benefits the nation. Republicans fought just as hard against social security and medicare decades ago. And Bush wanted to privatize social security even as the stock market was collapsing. Republicans frankly are not very bright and have horrible judgment. They are dumbfounded and desperate. Like a dangerous animal cornered, Republicans now act out in profanity and violence. These people need to be carefully watched for terrorism big time.
i agree with you 1000%!!
