They have only one political card that they play... The fear card..Fear of thuggery, Illegal aliens invading our homes on their way to to stealing jobs from our good young men, Fear of the LGBT community gaining controls of our schools so that our children will be forced to accept their life styles. Fear of Liberals taking away our guns..
The list goes on and on and Im sure you can add to it.. But the sad fucking fact is that Republicans won the the midterms simply because so many so called independents run around with tails between their legs in absolute fear and republicans know how to stoke their fear by using millions upon millions from corporate 1 %ers to run ads which highlight why Americans should be frightened.. Of Obama and his minions..
Thats the sad truth..
And tonight CNN and other MSM outlets will do nothing but show fires through the nite and ask passerbyers what they think about the violence,, It just goes on and on and on.
Things seem just to be getting worse... I am sad to say, that Racism is as rampant today as it has ever been..
And the Republican party is just fine with that...

Check out Giuliani on MTP Sunday. Nothing had happened at that point and he was already talking racist bullshit.
(I've been seeing the clips all day, but the video of Sunday's show will be at the MTP website.)
