Republican politicians don't have the strength of character to rule.

[Just Me]

Republicans are TOO willing to sacrifice this nation for their power.

Republicans FAIL to take a stand against a criminal and deceptive regime.

Republicans are too chicken to demand accountability within their own ranks.

Republicans are too self-centered to be capable of serving the interests of others.

Republicans are too greedy to care for the weak among us.

Republicans are too ambitious to advance democracy.

Republicans are too shallow to value our people and soldiers.

Republicans are too cynical to be honest about their motivations.

Republicans are too rigid to allow innovation (unless profiteering is involved).

Republicans are too controlling to maximize human potential.

Republicans are too loyal to themselves to render justice.

Republicans are too selective to grow a healthy nation.

Edited OP based upon excellent advice!!! :7

1. Good framing! This is how we need to address our differences,

because, sadly, most voters just aren't interested in nuance.

[Just Me]

17. This isn't "framing",...it's reality.

Please, do not characterize my expression of "reality" as mere "framing".

Please, don't condemn my observation and perception as some,...empty rhetoric or semantics.

[atommom]

19. That's not what I meant to do.

My intention was to compliment you for boiling down our differences with the Repubs and stating them in such clear, simple terms.

[Just Me]

21. Thank you.

:hug:

Frankly, we're not AGAINST all those Americans who identify with the Republican party,...they are our fellow Americans.

They are being exploited, too,...shamefully.

I wouldn't turn a one down at my door. This profiteering regime will set up a friggin' "WALL" against those who don't "serve" their interests.

Disgusting.

[politicaholic]

2. Why do you think they appeal to extreme?

They're too square about everything.

That's why there are no funny republican comedians...and no...Jeff Foxworthy is not funny.

[Just Me]

12. The "extremists" are the easiest to control.

They are the easiest to be "spent". They are the most gullible to being manipulated as "objects".

What can I say?

[samsingh]

3. i totally agree with you

Republications don't have the intelligence, work ethic, or decency to do the right things.

[Just Me]

18. Well, their sense of powerlessness, tied entirely to their party,...

,...is being manipulated in PRECISELY the same way that "H" utilized to CONTROL people. It's just so sad and disgusting. I live among Republicans,...and they certainly do NOT deserve to have their loyalty abused and betrayed in such ways.

[samsingh]

31. agreed

4. Here, let me try a slightly different angle......

Republican Politicians put their party first before their country.

Republican Politicians are too proud to admit when they are wrong.

Republican Politicians protect their own -even from the law.

Republican Politicians will believe anything -so long as it was said by another Republican.

Republican Politicians are afraid to stand up to the real bullies.

Republican Politicians talk about patriotic things to get elected.

Republican Politicians care more about winning than doing the right thing.

Republican Politicians can't think for themselves -that's why they all repeat the same stupid catch-phrases over and over again.

Republican Politicians don't care about protecting the weak from the strong.

Republican Politicians don't really care about abortion or gays -they use it to manipulate your emotions so you will vote for them.

Republican Politicians have country boy accents -when they are in front of the camera.

Republican Politician's kids aren't fighting in the war -your's are.

[Just Me]

8. You're right!!!! Those Republican politicians also treat their people,...

,...like they are "objects" to be spent.

[Son of California]

10. Republican Politicians take Republican voters for granted.

[Just Me]

11. I edited my OP topic based upon your observation.

:hug:

Those who lodge themselves as "Republicans" are not fairly represented by their representatives. I'm sure they know that and are terribly frustrated.

[izzie]

5. They seem to 'rule' from the top down

Not what we were sit up to do. I am sure it is the whole noblesse oblige thing

[Just Me]

24. "Democracy" doesn't work that way.

Right? :shrug:

[dchill]

6. Republicans are too immature...

and emotionally stunted to see themselves in your excellent post. They are also too conservative to be compassionate.

[driver8]

7. I cannot believe how the repubicans refuse to stand up to shrub

and company...no matter how screwed up things are. They are all afraid to speak up...party before country!!

[Just Me]

14. They should be BOOed everytime they "pledge allegiance",...

,...'cause they are PROVING their allegiance AGAINST our flag, our country, our people.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!

[lildreamer316]

9. AMEN and nominated.

[Just Me]

13. Thanks.

:hug:

A Republican-dominated country has delivered suffering here and around the world. THEY JUST CAN'T HANDLE POWER WITHOUT ABUSING IT!!!!

[wtmusic]

15. Unfortunately it doesn't take strength of character to rule nt

[Just Me]

16. Which explains why these corporacultists have supported dictators,...

,...who PLAY and PROFIT the U.S. multinational corporations which buy and sell human beings, including American human beings, until those dictators fail to turn over the profit.

[Just Me]

20. No support against this opposition?

:shrug: I don't understand.

[lildreamer316]

22. Huh?

Man I'm blonde tonight. I don't get it....

[Just Me]

23. Which part,...I'll help to the best of my ability.

:hug:

[Just Me]

25. I'm here to reach understanding. Where did you go?

:shrug:

[lildreamer316]

26. Sorry; got distracted in the Lounge.

what exactly do you mean support against what opposition?I'm a lost blond woman....

[Just Me]

27. Did you read the OP?

And, please, don't demean yourself as a "lost blond
READ the OP,...then, contribute your informed opinion. Yes? }(

[lildreamer316]

28. OK

Read the op three times now. Think it's quite a good frame, since they framed us the same way. I mean, I'm all for not labeling, but we ARE talking politics. Its about time this party took some hard lines like this. It's not like we aren't backed up by facts. The difference is stating it and then acting,not just pushing the statements over and over. Unfortunately, if Kerry had taken some of this kind of hard line (maybe phrases a bit differently? No, maybe not) they would have had a harder time pegging him as wishy-washy.
Eh?

[lildreamer316]

29. Now where did YOU go?? n/t

[WMliberal]

30. kick and nominated
