Are Republicans going too far with their labels and name-calling?

In their attempt to distract voters from their ethical and criminal problems?

They warn Democrats not to become too "socialistic",,, They warn that Democrats are becoming too "anti-Israel".They worry so much that Democrats are going to mess up and let them win.

They worry that Democrats will do too much "investigating". They worry that Democrats will turn off the voters. Uh-huh...

As if the voters can forget the corruption they dragged in the back door.

No question, they are going t o use it. They have NOTHING else.

The Democratic party does not need rebranding. Cut it out.

against us even if we don't say anything. Pretty much like they accuse Democrats of wanting open borders. It often doesn't matter what we say, they'll just make stuff up and repeat it over and over again until people believe it is true.

to hide the truth that they stole power and don't want to give it back to the people.

We just have to call them out on the namecalling and point out their own reasons: their wholesale corruption.

saying that the Dem's are anti Jewish etc...is going way to far, even for him and it's so fucking silly it runs the risk of his own supporters questioning a statement such at that.

10. They have nothing left but lies

Policies? Nope.
Record to show voters? Nothing they want to admit to.
Intelligence? Good judgment? Good ideas that actually work? Signs of life between the ears? None that anyone can see.
Candidates with accomplishments worth touting? Puh-leeeze!
Candidates of good character? heh heh heh.

That leaves lies and smears.
