1. Well, if I were a freeper...

reading some of these crybaby posts this morning, I'd be thinking Dems are a bunch of scaredy-cats.

5. What crybaby posts are you referring to?

I've not seen a single one, with the possible exception of a "OMG Nader is running" post.

2. Talk radio has been instrumental in energizing the gop faithful.

Even if some of them laugh it off as mere entertainment, there's still a prevailing attitude of smug certainty amongst the flock. Fox News has only added gas to the fire.

3. Ummm

when our leaders cower before them and agree rapidly after saying we did not and when instead of arrest we send harshly worded letters to the biggest national criminals we have ever had they sorta got the idea that they could push us around. We let them.

4. I believe it began with Reagan, but could be wrong.

When it was discovered Repubs couldn't win on issues, they went personal and developed "faith-based hate." It became instinctive for them to hate anyone or any idea that didn't conform to their narrow views.

In short:
Progressives think...
Conservatives instinct...
