When was the last time a ReTHUG used the word democracy
or mentioned any of the so called freedoms they love to demand for people overseas.

1. I much more often hear them spouting some tired line while arguing
against democracy that we are a representative republic just as the founders intended.

4. Frank Luntz borrowed heavely from Leo Strauss
Leo Strauss stole from Hermann Göring. Joseph Goebbels = Newt Gingrich.

6. Jeez Louise, Frank Luntz moderated tonight's debate!
I wonder how many dog whistles were heard in that Iowa church?

5. They ceased talking about democracy when the demographics said minorities will tilt elections.
Now, they scold us and say no, we live in a republic. And soon, very soon, they will put restrictions on who can vote. No gov welfare receivers. Noone that has ever had a misdemeanor.

7. Malaise they only believe in that this country is a Republic
not a democracy.
