"Yeah, I hit you, and I beat you, but you aint gonna find anyone better than me. So you'd better shut up and do what I say."

That's basically the jist of their entire campaign strategy. "Don't vote for the Dems 'cause aint nobody better than me."

1. YEAH, WELL...

i'm not an abused wife. you hit me and i will kick your motherf****** ass. if you hit me and i fall, you'd better hope i'm dead because i will kick your butt when i get up

2. Abusers Know That Their Shit Only Works on Some People

Rove & Co. know that they cannot win a majority, so just like abusers prey on people who have low self-esteem, he preys on these same people.

8. I was an abused wife, until I decided I wouldn't be and then he greatly regretted

his abuse of me. It wasn't pretty.

[Lex]

5. I think you are right about this

and it is sad to see them act that way and buy into it.

Fear is a great motivator too. That's why the repubs have to scream Terra! 24/7--to keep them afraid and in line.

6. And don't forget

"If you leave me, I'll make you pay for it."

7. They are abusive. Bill Clinton calls Repubs the "Daddy Party"

I don't need no daddy.
