Blah Blah Blah! You said a whole lot of nothing. I gave facts to back up my specific argument and you talked in circles.

The government has never been the answer to any of our problems... often they are the cause of them! Name one thing the government does well?

Don't give me this condescending attitude! My party has not failed... it has failings. The Republican Party is filled with politicians that are Liberal, Moderate, and now "Compassionate"... there are only a few CONSERVATIVE Republicans left! I am Conservative! G.W. Bush is NOT Conservative... He is a LIBERAL! The Republican Party has strayed away from its base of voters and has suffored for it!

Everything the Democrats have been accusing Republicans of... is stuff they have been doing!

There is way more dialog from our side than from yours! John McCain had the best record for reaching across the isle to Democrats and Obama had the worst! (Look it up if you don't believe me!) That is why he did not win! McCain continuously reached across the isle... so much that Republicans viewed him as no better than a Democrat!

Even Conservative talk radio puts all Liberal callers to the front of the calls so they can debate their ideologies. Where as the Liberal media just does a story on Republicans without giving them a chance to defend themselves or debate.

Al Gore, John Kerry, and B. Obama told every crowd they talked to... whatever they wanted to hear. A.C.O.R.N. has been convicted in the past in 6 different states of voter registration fraud! (Look it up!) Right now, they are being investigated for voter fraud and mis-use of funds in 14 states! They claim that they are a non-partisan group but all of the voters that they sign up happen to vote Democratic straight ticket! Their political action committee officially endorsed Barack Obama! Yet, the Democrats continuously accuse Republicans of voter fraud but defend all of ACORN’s actions! Google it or type in voter fraud ACORN in Youtube!

What victimization? The Democratic party has to victimize everyone in order to get votes! Blacks, gays, the environment, animal rights, eating meat... you name it and they have tried to victimize someone!

This does not even dignify a response... have you ever picked up a book? Have you done any research for yourself or have you gotten all of your information from 'Moveon.org'?

If the government will get out of the people's lives and trying to micromanage all businesses from the Oval office! Businesses are too highly regulated and too many restrictons have been placed on them. The free market has given us all of our medicines, medical break throughs, luxuries, technologies, and millions of other things that YOU take for granted!

It is the OVER-Regulation of government that kills the middle class and small businesses!!!!!!!!!!! If you give the government an inch they ALWAYS take a mile!! Can you not be trusted in business?! I am an adult and perfectly capable of running my own business without government interferance! There is nothing wrong with making a profit!

The United States of America was designed to have very minimal government and over the years that has continued to increase! This is NOT a good thing!! Look at your history!

You are spot on. It is the central reason why I have nothing but disdain for the Republican party. Many of their constituents need to be quarantined because of the beliefs they hold.
Spoken like a true fascist, and yes I hate you and your kind!

Is it really necessary for someone, anyone, to state the obvious? All real "hate groups" in the U.S. align, to one degree or another, with the Republican Party. KKK, skinheads, many others that are not household names. All of these groups are in the business of KILLING PEOPLE that they see as "not just like them"! All of these groups detest anything that they percieve of as change. Most use violent methods to resist change. There are NO such groups that align themselves with the Democratic Party! People will cite such groups as the ACLU as Democratic hate groups, but that is patently ridiculous! ACLU "hates" no one, and works to protect the civil liberties of ALL Americans!

I don't hate anyone but I do despise most of the policies of the Republican Party.

Default Why Is The Republican Party A Magnet For Hate Groups?

Because hate is a natural teammate with fear.
