Why I hate Republicans

[COLGATE4]

It's not just that I don't trust them. It's not just that I don't believe them. It's not just that I think the vast majority of them are mouth-breathers - the so-called 'low information voters' while the others are a bunch of venal con artists and cynical manipulators who prey on the intellectually-challenged majority. It's not just that I dislike them, or even despise them. It's that I now hate Republicans.

Why do I feel this way? Well, for openers:

- 8 long, long horrible years of Dimson: Cheeenee, John Yoo, Alberto Gonzales, 'The Constitution is just a damned piece of paper", Homeland Security, Afghanistan, Iraq, pissing away the huge budget surplus Clinton left, to name but a few of Idiot boy's greatest hits. And the Republicans cheered.

- Since the uppity black guy won, 2 1/2 years of total, scorched earth unrelenting obstructionism designed to bring the government to a complete halt, all with the stated intention and for the sole purpose of making sure that Obama is "a one term President". During this period the economy has gone from bad to worse to close to catastrophic back to worse, while now the electorate believes that "Obama owns this economy". Reestablishing the discredited Protestant Ethic in that the poor are poor because God doesn't like them and the rich get rich because God favors them. A platform of savage economic Darwinism.

- 10 years (or more) of having to bear the rabid screeching of the hyenas of talk radio and Fux TV as they shrilly assail everything that is decent in this country with total impunity (and increasing results) in brainwashing the 'I want a President I can have a beer with' Republican voters. Names of 'people' that could be used by anorexic teenagers as a wonderful option instead of the traditional finger down the throat: Beck, Hannity, Limpballs, Malkin, O'Reilly, Savage, Cunningham, the list goes on and on, a 24-hour loop that never stops its endless harangue. And their popularity (and influence) grows as the low-information voters soak up in wonder what they are supposed to think every day, listening to a huge, national megaphone held by nut cases who want to police every womans' womb and everybody's' bedroom, push Gays deep back into the closet and work tirelessly to 'restoring 'Merka as the Christian Nation it (never) was'.

- The vicious, hate-filled Willie Horton-bred unrelenting campaign to treat the genuinely elected President of the United States of America in the most despicable, pejorative terms: "Oreo", "boy", "Muslim", "Socialist", "Communist", "Liar" and any and every epithet that their venereal disease-riddled brains can concoct. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Frank Luntz has been tasked with finding a way to make "Nigger" acceptable again in so-called 'polite' discourse. After all, it's just a matter of framing the debate?
There is no realistic possibility of working with these people. There is no realistic possibility of compromising with these people. Hate them? Hate isn't nearly a strong enough word.

2. You know

I really hate them, too. I know we're supposed to reach out and teach them, accept them, etc. But, I'm really starting to just hate their guts. I won't even talk to relatives who are RW. Basically, I tell them to fuck off.

14. It is tough ...

I have so many GOOD friends who are Rs.

They know my politics, too.

But, they are good people.

MOST, I can have short or even in depth discussions with.

Key is hearing them out - they REALLY believe some of the core stuff about how evil liberals are out to destroy the country. So, if you hear them out and have a rational discussion, they tend to hear you, even agree on a lot of stuff, but go home to what they know.

The party as a whole, however, I have no time for. They get to play things both ways depending on whether they are in power or not, and it just kills me that the media goes along with them in which every direction their wind blows.

3. Ditto!

4. I do too, but we are supposed to be all OFA bipartisan in love

with them now.

[treestar]

5. Not true. We are forced to compromise with them where they hold a majority

Or 40 Senators. That is why we need fewer of them in office. That is the only way for progressives to get what they say they want.

6. While simultaneously playing

super-secret, interplanetary, galactic chess where the pre-ordained endgame for Democratic triumph over Republicans is brighter than 10 million exploding supernovas.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Is it wrong to rage against bigotry,greed,and racism? No,but we

should try to hate the sin and not the sinner. I hate what Republicans do but they are people, although willfully ignorant people. I will do my best to help them and not hate them.

This is probably the biggest difference between our parties.

10. Nope. Not me. I hate the sinner too.

11. I rest my case

Registering Poor To Vote 'Like Handing Out Burglary Tools To Criminals'
Ryan J. Reilly | TPMMuckraker
September 2, 2011, 10:40AM

Conservative columnist Matthew Vadum is just going to come right out and say it: registering the poor to vote is un-American and "like handing out burglary tools to criminals."

"It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country -- which is precisely why Barack Obama zealously supports registering welfare recipients to vote," Vadum, the author of a book published by World Net Daily that attacks the now-defunct community organizing group ACORN, writes in a column for the American Thinker.

"Encouraging those who burden society to participate in elections isn't about helping the poor," Vadum writes. "It's about helping the poor to help themselves to others' money. It's about raw so-called social justice. It's about moving America ever farther away from the small-government ideals of the Founding Fathers."

12. Not all of them are willfully ignorant.

A fat chunk of them know exactly what they're doing. They just don't care who they hurt in order to get their way. Nothing but a bunch of greedy, sociopaths.

8. I hate them too.

[bvar22]

9. That is also why I don't like "Centrists".

They agree with Republicans too much.


Solidarity!

13. Republicans are the largest organized

criminal syndicate in the country and have been since Nixon. Democrats have their criminals as well, but do not organize them as a central party function. Democrats are embarrassed when a criminal is found among their ranks and move to make distance. Republicans draw close and go on defense, form committees and start paying people off....

See the difference?
