Republicans are all traitors who hate their country

[leftofthedial]

1. Watergate
2. The October Surprise
3. Iran Contra (and attendant pardons of traitors)
4. 8 years of political and character assassination against Clinton
5. The Coup in 2000, election fraud in 2000 and 2004
6. Illegal invasion of Iraq (and lying to Congress)
7. Treasonous exposure of a CIA operative and her entire network

The list could be arbitrarily long; there are thousands of examples from which to choose.

They lie, they commit treason, they subvert democracy at every turn, and they put their party above all--including the interests of our country.

Every single individual who has ever voted for a Republican for Congress or for the Presidency is guilty of being an accomplice to traitors and an abettor of the fascists.

Republicans are traitors and hate America. There is no other explanation.

That's my thesis. Now I just need a title.

[Nottingham]

1. don't forget Enron and Stock Market crash

:bounce:

[Karenina]

40. Silverado...

They're FABULOUS at stealing money.

[Brucey]

2. They hate America because

they hate democracy. That is why they steal elections, don't want to count votes, don't care what the people think, like the electoral college, etc. They hate democracy. And they hate freedom. That's why they love censorship, the Patriot act, etc. Repugs hate America because they are traitors who hate democracy and freedom.

[efhmc]

3. You have stated this so perfectly. Thanks.

[kysrsoze]

15. Almost - Repub politicians. Repub citizens are uninformed or stupid

[TroubleMan]

4. I can't go along with a blanket statement

The very people you are trying to reach may think you are targeting them (maybe you are) and won't listen.

I believe "Republican Leadership" would be better for you to accuse, although I think it's an oxymoron.

There are bad Democrats and good Republicans. You can't condemn a large group of people based on some of their leaders, who I believe exploited a lot of honest peoples' beliefs, in order to enable themselves to commit these heinous acts.

[leftofthedial]

5. is the driver of the getaway car

exploited by the gunman in the bank?

Republican "man in the street" will alibi and defend almost every item on my list.

[FrankBooth]

12. I agree

Attacking the leadership is more effective for the cause than attacking "all Republicans." In fact, you might eventually drive a wedge between this atrocious administration and those "I've always voted Republican" Republicans who are actually not idiots, but have an anti-liberal, cavlier attitude because they've been heavily propogandized. If you can get even a moderate gain from that crowd, get just a few more of them to vote, I believe the Dems run away with the '04 election.

[Classical_Liberal]

28. What about all the republicans who will now never vote for Bush

's re-elections. This is Ann Coulter Bullshit.

[FrankBooth]

31. I'm not sure what you mean?

specifically by "Ann Coulter Bullshit." I can assure you I've never read any of her "work."

[Section_43]

32. Great username!

eom

[markses]

6. Obviously, you're being facetious

Cuz you know your thesis is not true.

But you are demonstrating how outrageous it is when Republican extremists say the same thing.

Yes?

[Brucey]

8. I believe it is hyperbole and satire,

in order to make a point. What Al Franken calls, "kidding on the square." We're just kidding, but we kinda mean it. There's some truth in that satire. There's some meaning in the jokes.

[leftofthedial]

11. I just drove across the "heartland" of America

Bush-Cheney 2004 bumper stickers galore.

the heartland of the father--er, homeland loves their fascism straight, with a healthy chaser of stupid sauce.

[Old and In the Way]

7. They also hate America because-

-they are dismantling public education
-they've opted to keep our energy independence in oil to the benefit of their friends and benefactors.
-they've drained our national treasury of trillions in 3 short years.

They are working hard to turn us into a 3rd world nation, while pocketing obscene profits that can be electronically moved anywhere.

[leesa]

9. Don't forget election fraud 2002..those weren't accidents in Georgia,

Texas and Florida. Also, the illegal, unethical carpet bombing of Afghanistan, who also did nothing to us.

[Terwilliger]

10. funny

I've been told this kind of hateful partisanship will make us lose

[Old and In the Way]

14. Who told you that Terwilliger?

Ralph?

[Terwilliger]

17. Will Pitt

actually

[WilliamPitt]

27. Me n' Ralph

Thick as thieves. :)

[roughsatori]

25. I've been told it's dumb to hold it against people for Voting Republican

On Du the same posters who still scream about DUers who voted for Nader--now say its OK to have voted for Nixon and Reagan if you're running on the Democratic ticket as a Presidential nominee.
:shrug:

[LevChernyi]

36. some people are fucking idiots

[WilliamPitt]

13. "All"?

My grandfather?

Take it back or I will beat you up. :)

Seriously, you're wrong.

[leftofthedial]

20. I'll amend it to

anyone who has voted for a Republican for Congress or President since the 1980 election.

So, if that gets grandpa, then him included.

I'm almost always wrong.

Except when I'm right.

>>>you'll have to catch me first (that should take about 30 seconds), then you can beat me up.

[WilliamPitt]

30. Here I come

:)

The only Democrat my grandfather voted for was JFK.

[shockingelk]

16. they wouldn't let the South secede

If it weren't for all those red states down there, we'd have had the last SIX Whitehouses.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[TroubleMan]

18. You will not convince anybody with ad-hominem attacks

Saying all repugs are responsible for those things is like saying that a rape victim is responsible for the rape.

We need to reach out to decent republicans and show them how they have been deceived - not accuse them of attrocities that most of them:

a) don't believe even happened

b) if they did know the real truth, would be outraged


Calling them names will only make them more defensive and make them believe bush more. Not only that you will be living up to all the untrue things they say about us.

[leftofthedial]

22. i don't really care about "convincing" anybody per se

I'm just making a list and checking it twice

[Unknown Known]

19. If you ever want to be truly disgusted

read Lawrence Walsh's book, "Firewall". Walsh was special prosecutor in Iran-Contra.

What's happening now is like a re-run with all the usual suspects. These guys have this stuff down to a science. What Cheney did with the energy papers is exactly what Poppy did with his correspondences that were subpoenaed - when asked to produce them - they just simply don't do it! Case closed. Who's going to go over their house and hand-cuff them - no one and they count on it.

They truly believe the law does not pertain to them or they can always pay another lawyer to get them out of it.

Walsh said these people don't just put up a stonewall - they put up a FIREWALL!

[Zorra]

21. all the way back to the federalists

Jefferson basically had to fight tooth and nail against the Federalists to keep them from almost reinstituting monarchy. The Federalists are more or less the original republican party, and they were corrupt from the start.

" Mr. Jefferson adds: "Hamilton was not only a monarchist, but for a monarchy bottomed on corruption." The Federalists having a majority in Congress, passed an act to continue in force during the administration of Mr. Adams, declaring that "if any person should write or publish, or cause to be published, any libel against the Government of the United States, or either House of Congress, or against the President, he shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, and by imprisonment not exceeding two years." A great many editors, and other gentlemen, were imprisoned under this act. Even to ridicule the President was pronounced by the corrupt partisan judges a violation of the law. Men were beaten almost to death for neglecting to pull off their hats when the President was passing, and every man who did not instantly prostrate himself before the ensigns of Federal royalty, was denounced as the enemy of his country. The following letter, addressed to President John Adams by the merchants of Boston, shows to what lengths that party had dragged the public mind in the direction of monarchy:

"We, the subscribers, inhabitants and citizens of Boston, in the State of Massachusetts, deeply impressed with the alarming situation of our country, and convinced of the necessity of uniting with firmness at this interesting crisis, beg leave to express to you, the Chief Magistrate and supreme ruler over the United States, our fullest approbation of all the measures, external and internal, you have pleased to adopt, under direction of divine authority. We beg leave also to express the high and elevated opinion we entertain of your talents, your virtue, your wisdom and your prudence; and our fixed resolution to support, at the risk of our lives and fortunes, such measures as you may determine upon to be necessary for promoting and securing the honor and happiness of America."

After the Revolution, Jefferson spent most of his time trying to protect the US from republicans and their slime. They truly were rotten from the very beginning, and the rot has become complete with Bush.

[rucky]

23. You should write a book with lots of footnotes

and make tv appearances!

[TroubleMan]

24. LOL!!!!

Do you mean endnotes?

[leftofthedial]

26. I got footnotes

I got your footnotes right here.

1. I made it up.

2. Ibid

3. conversation with friends over cocktails.

There are lots more where those came from too, so watch it.

[fabius]

29. How about "Treason-a Fair and balanced look at the Right"

Seriously I think we will see a lot of principled "non-treasonous" Republicans start to come out of the woodwork on this issue. Like the ex-CIA guy on Newshour.

[janekat]

33. but - sorry having sex with an intern is MUCH more serious....

Ya see all of these people are doing these horrible things because they were just following Clinton's example. George Bush hasn't had enough time to bring back "honor and integrity" back to this country. It's hard work...

[Resistance Is Futile]

34. Titles

The Enemy Within
subtitle: The Antidemocratic Movement Within the United States

Subverting Democracy: a review of American elitism

Undermining Freedom

In the name of God and Profit



There's your titles. Now start writing.

[Brian Sweat]

35. While I think it is a bit over the top to say

all Republicans hate America, I do believe that there is some truth in this at least when it comes to arch-conservatives.


Arch-conservatives hate

1. That lawyers are allowed to defend criminals who are clearly guilty.

2. That people in America are free to criticise the government when their leaders are in office.

3. That people have the right to vote even if they don't own property, have a job or pay a lot of taxes.

4. That they cannot force their religion on everyone else.

These things are what makes America great and they hate them. We hate the policies of Arch-conservatives. Arch-conservatives hate America.

[FrankBooth]

37. I agree

Arch-conservative's are wingnuts. They are intractable. I think focusing on that large, fat, bloated middle is where the votes are.

[Jim Sagle]

38. Another title: "The Treason of Conservatism"

[MrPrax]

39. Hey you forgot Kissenger's

secret meeting to get Nixon out in front!!!

The treachery lives on...and on...

So Ollie North gets to be a talk show pundit and Powell gets to show the UN a few slides...

We lose all the time
