Indeed **lissener**. The absolute lack of civic virtue displayed by high school popularity contest mentality like that is revolting. “Naw, I’m not going to vote on the candidate, or the issues, or the policies. Instead, I’m going to vote based on what non-entity talking heads and people on message boards say. That’ll sure show 'em!” Disgusting. ---

OK, juvenile insults aside, what real good has this Republican-dominated era generated? Unlike their rhetoric, they’re spending our money like drunken sailors and concealing the truth about it. They have gotten us into folly of a war that they didn’t plan for properly, and have concealed the truth about that. Gave tax cuts that have driven up the deficit, mainly benefited those who don’t need it, and done very little to spur economic growth. They have been caught paying to put propaganda in the news, here and in Iraq. They have condoned and possibly ordered torture of human beings. They have ordered war actions that have killed _thousands_ of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention a whole bunch of our own citizens, in a war started on false pretenses. They have been operating secret prisons in Europe. They have ruined honest people who simply disagreed with their policies.They have alienated our allies and squandered more goodwill than most countries will ever have. This is not the America that I grew up loving and respecting. We aren’t the good guys. We will be suffering the negative consequences of this administrations bellicose atrocities for generations to come. Using a couple of hot button wedge issues, thay have hijacked the loyalty of honest, religious, hard-working people by using religion as a weapon, dividing this country on false dilemmas. Our once great countries world class democracy, once the envy of the world, has been turned into a warmongering theocracy, not one iota better than the warmongering theocracies we are currently occupying. Still, supposedly well-meaning people approve of all this shite simply because they were led to believe untruths put forth by this administration. As a reward for their loyalty, this administration sends their children off to die and their jobs overseas. It is incomprehensible to me that paying a few bucks less in taxes makes all this OK for you people. Go to hell. ---

I’ve been grappling with my political affiliation for years. Yes, the current administration does indeed suck. It’s sucks long and it sucks hard. I am a Republican and I used to be a proud one. Should I have to leave my party because some of them have become so corrupted they’ve forgotten most of the ideals on which the party was formed? I don’t know. I really don’t know. I do know that I used to like the idea of belonging to a political affiliation. If I can get over that, maybe I’ll officially leave the party and just become a little i independent with conservative leanings. ---

The quotes above took me all of ten minutes to dig up and they really cover the whole gamut, don’t they? Racism, sexism, class hatred, gynophobia, islamophobia, homophobia, pretty much an ABC of intolerance and hatred. What’s more, **Martin** , I could go on like this _all the live long day_. There’s no shortage of hateful quotes from Right wingers. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the Right Wing hold the absolutel fucking monopoly on venomous outbursts of bile and garbage. From the grassroots activists all the way up to the Senators on Capitol hill, they spew torrents of vile, hateful invective at such a rate it’s impossible to catalogue. If **Aeschines** rant genuinely put you off voting Democrat, how do these quotes from prominent Right Wing personalities, politicians, and bloggers make you feel? [/QUOTE] ---

> [@An Arky](#): > > OK, juvenile insults aside, what real good has this Republican-dominated era generated? Unlike their rhetoric, they’re spending our money like drunken sailors and concealing the truth about it. They have gotten us into folly of a war that they didn’t plan for properly, and have concealed the truth about that. Gave tax cuts that have driven up the deficit, mainly benefited those who don’t need it, and done very little to spur economic growth. They have been caught paying to put propaganda in the news, here and in Iraq. They have condoned and possibly ordered torture of human beings. They have ordered war actions that have killed _thousands_ of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention a whole bunch of our own citizens, in a war started on false pretenses. They have been operating secret prisons in Europe. They have ruined honest people who simply disagreed with their policies.They have alienated our allies and squandered more goodwill than most countries will ever have. > > This is not the America that I grew up loving and respecting. We aren’t the good guys. We will be suffering the negative consequences of this administrations bellicose atrocities for generations to come. > > Using a couple of hot button wedge issues, thay have hijacked the loyalty of honest, religious, hard-working people by using religion as a weapon, dividing this country on false dilemmas. > > Our once great countries world class democracy, once the envy of the world, has been turned into a warmongering theocracy, not one iota better than the warmongering theocracies we are currently occupying. > > Still, supposedly well-meaning people approve of all this shite simply because they were led to believe untruths put forth by this administration. As a reward for their loyalty, this administration sends their children off to die and their jobs overseas. > > It is incomprehensible to me that paying a few bucks less in taxes makes all this OK for you people. Go to hell. _:: applause ::_ ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > This just shows you how fucked things are over here. Anything less than “way over to the far extreme right to the point of falling off a cliff” is viewed as a librul leftie commie rag. Yes, those who still support the Bush administration apparently have no idea how isolated they are from world opinion. Who is left supporting the war: (1) Tony Blair, dragging an unwilling Labour Party behind him. (Even the British Tories now seem to be against the war) (2) Australia’s John Howard, with a rather more compliant Liberal Party behind him. (And unfortunately a lack of opposition from Kim Beazley). (3) Most of the US media. (4) And that’s about it. ---

> [@Twin](#): > > At least they only tried. Democrats [succeeded](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47449) (though thankfully such ugliness is behind us now). Tee hee. Wing Nut Daily as a news citation. That’s like supplying ketchup as a vegetable. Even though replying to it might make it appear that legitimizes it, allow me to comment that possibly black Americans are aware of which party _right now_ is the party of inclusiveness. Lincoln was a Republican, you know. Doesn’t mean he’d be one now.
