Why Do Republicans Hate Involved Citizens

[Rusty5329]

It is game time again, and this time, our team is home. The GOP's attacks on President Obama's supreme court nominee were obvious well before a name was chosen. BLANK is an activist judge. BLANK believes in rewriting the constitution. BLANK will legislate from the bench.

Let's discuss this term, "activist."

1. We think for ourselves. n/t

[Echo In Light]

2. They benefit from the depoliticization/indifference

If only a few are paying attention, it's much easier to control the messages (needed for moral/criminal cover) , much easier to have the entire game rigged in favor of Profits Over People, much easier to steal elections, etc

[Blue Meany]

3. After the Bush DOJ, they should be embarassed to talk about

rewriting the Constitution, but apparently they have no shame.

9. they just don't care...

it is all about winning the argument with them. They really don't give a sh*t about rewriting the constitution.

4. Oh shut up and drink the Kool-Aid!

If you don't, you're an activist.

5. For the same reason they like to suppress the vote

[Dappleganger]

6. If they had their way only white, male landowners

with Bentleys would be able to vote.

7. republicans thrive with an uneducated, uninterested populace.

they can do whatever they want and lead us around by the nose easier that way.

8. BAAAAAA!!!! FOX is on. BAAAA!!!!! BAAAAAAA!!!!

The GOP sheep will be bleating these oh so predictable lines without stop. There was a video posted not long ago where "breaking news" was that Obama had nominated Jesus for USSC. It hit it right on the head. Jesus DID have empathy, you know!

[Captain Hilts]

10. They tried to keep the troops from being able to vote in WWII.

[Echo In Light]

11. As they have in recent elections

[DailyGrind51]

12. They hate any volunteers, look how they treat returning military.

[Joe the Liberal]

13. Involved citizens don't benefit them.......

They prefer a dumbed down, uninvolved, apathetic, brainwashed, uneducated, ignorant, religious populace, that way stealing elections is far easier and controlling the masses is much easier when they don't question you or look beyond the obvious.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. Repukes hate everyone who is not like them...

and who does not fall into line with their stupid, ignorant, fundamentalist, fascist 'reasoning'.
