Seems like there is a lot of beating around the bush (no pun intended) in this forum. Let’s cut to the chase: Democrats and their supporters are intelligent, good people, while Republicans and their supporters are evil, ignorant subhumans. Am I right? BA ---

I don’t suppose the OP can provide any cites for SDMD Democrats saying that all Republicans are evil. There’s a lot of anti-Bush stuff but Bush is not "the Republicans.’ > [@](#): > > Republicans think Democrats are wrong. > > Democrats think Republicans are evil.

Let’s cut to the chase: Democrats and their supporters are intelligent, good people, while Republicans and their supporters are evil, ignorant subhumans. Am I right? No. I don’t recall Republicans around here ever being called “subhuman”. 🙂 You do realize, I hope, that all you’re going to get from this thread is ridicule hurled at YOU from both sides of the aisle. ---

**Marley:** so we’re introducing the “George Orwell” defense? **D the C:** you don’t remember the spate of “Republican Are Selfish” threads? Don’t make me strain the hamsters looking them up, but if you insist, I will. ---

This Board is a probably a little different than what you are used to. This isn’t Faux News with Hammity and his useful idiot Colmes-- or Limbaugh & the rest of the hate radio crowd-- or Bush’s loyalty oath _Ask-the-President-a-really-easy-question,-or-get-arrested_ event. ---

> [@Blackacre](#): > > Democrats are good, Republicans are evil > Am I right? I was talkin with Jesus this morning, and HE put it just that way. He said that the guy whispering in Bush’s ear is kinda like him. They used to be friends even, but something _changed_, and now they don’t even say hi to each other when they pass on the street. ---

> [@duffer](#): > > And yet, somehow, I can’t remember a single time you defended republicans when someone threw out “pubbies” when someone was torqued about Bush. Hmmm… What’s wrong with “pubbies” as a term? It’s not an adaptation of a pejorative, like Repugs (i.e., Repugnants) or Demorats. Pubbies and Dems strike me alike as inoffensive terms, saving keystrokes and such. Where does the issue with Pubbie come in? ---

> [@duffer](#): > > And yet, somehow, I can’t remember a single time you defended republicans when someone threw out “pubbies” when someone was torqued about Bush. Hmmm… I didn’t know “pubbie” was an insult. I often say “Pubbies” or “Pubs” just because I don’t feel like typing out “Republicans.” Do you have a better suggestion for an abbreviation? Do you think “Dems” is an insult? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/democrats-are-good-republicans-are-evil/270261.md?page=2)
