Guns, A Vengeful God, War, Industrial Graft, Pollution, Greed, Anger, Obstinance, Racism, Ignorance
What a party..

These are all things they gleefully embrace

The thing that never ceases to amaze me is that the media (ALL media) gives them positive coverage, instead of showing them for what they really are.....

1. There are only fear and love -
Fear is easy (that's why they do it), and love is difficult.

2. Greed.
We are talking about republicans right? I don't think all the media gives them positive coverage. MSNBC has some good commentators exposing them.

5. True. But it's not as bad as it used to be.
I agree. The mainstream media by far recites republican talking points. But I am thankful we have some progressive voices on the news that challenge them. 8 years ago there were barely any mainstream progressives on the news. Besides maybe Phil Donahue and Bill Moyers.

6. A little is better than none, but it still aggravates the hell out of me
that the few progressive voices we have, still "invite" right wingers on their show to "share" the precious little time we do get:grr:

Welcome to DU, btw :hi:

"How many guns do you have". That video needs to be trotted out. I'm not anti-gun but it does say where the hell the mindset is of the Repukes!

7:20 in the video.

10. He's a vile little toad, isn't he?
Does owning a gun make you a "better" candidate?
