LOL! Thanks for the laugh, explain where Democrats are anti-life, anti-liberty, and anti-pursuit of happiness. Give us some facts, not Fox News soundbites

They do not stand in the way of charter schools and school vouchers?

The do not stand against voter protection laws?

They do not favor infringed on our right to keep and bear arms?

Funny...their actions prove other wise...
When did we give citizenship to millions of illegals?

We have spent money on poverty in this country to help the Americans most in need, hardly what I would consider a "waste."

Well the government doesn't just let companies drill for oil in our national parks, but there have been plenty of new wells and increase in oil production in this country.

You will have to check with your own state and city when it comes to charter schools and school vouchers. The federal government isn't really involved in that. Charter schools are a mixed bag, some good, some not so good.

You mean voter suppression laws? Voter ID laws wouldn't actually prevent any form of voter fraud, something Republicans have failed to prove as being a problem and have also failed to prove that voter IDs would somehow curb voter fraud.

No, we believe in strengthening background checks. I am sure you will disagree with me on this for 101 million reasons.

Again, the list that was given was completely false, yet you seem to believe it to be true. Nothing I could ever say that would change that, just kind of sad to see someone believe in so many false things.

I really do pity people that thrive on hatred of their fellow Americans who don't think in lockstep like they do. Tyrants find these kind of people as useful idiots in conducting mass purges in other countries

We have spent money on poverty in this country to help the Americans most in need, hardly what I would consider a "waste." FALSE

Well the government doesn't just let companies drill for oil in our national parks, but there have been plenty of new wells and increase in oil production in this country. This is in spite of regulations, and suppression of permits: not because of them!

You will have to check with your own state and city when it comes to charter schools and school vouchers. The federal government isn't really involved in that. Charter schools are a mixed bag, some good, some not so good. FALSE see Elementary and Secondary Education Act

You mean voter suppression laws? Voter ID laws wouldn't actually prevent any form of voter fraud, something Republicans have failed to prove as being a problem and have also failed to prove that voter IDs would somehow curb voter fraud. FALSE and a downright lie if this were the case I suppose guns don't need to be registered and drivers don't need licenses

No, we believe in strengthening background checks. I am sure you will disagree with me on this for 101 million reasons. See above (conflicted much?)

Again, the list that was given was completely false, yet you seem to believe it to be true. Nothing I could ever say that would change that, just kind of sad to see someone believe in so many false things.
You display the same kind of blind belief in many false things, and yes it is sad.

Thankfully the far right wing is a relatively small, aging group of people because a Hitler type person could easily manipulate them into thinking it is a good idea to purge the country of anyone that doesn't believe their ideologies.

Well excuse the heck out of me, but I have an American birth certificate, and according to the American Constitution, that makes me an American. No matter what you think.

That may be the easiest way to get them back, but isn't going to happen. Because it's even easier to get votes by simply telling lies of their own. To get those people back they'd have to actually compete on the issues. It's easier to simply pander to your base with fearmongering about racists.

The people who tend to vote for Republicans are whites, men, and married women. The groups the Democrats don't pander towards. It's a pretty telling statistic in that the Democrats lose on the actual issues. The way they get votes is by using identity politics. And you see it here on CD forums too, where the liberals' responses are usually ad hominem attacks of various sorts rather than actual positions on issues, including the post I responded to.

Anyone who doesn't march in lockstep is, apparently, a mentally deficient idiot who is subhuman.
