Why Do Republicans Think If We Don't Agree With Them, We're Stupid, Weaklings?  Democrats PLEASE ANSWER

Because Democrats allow themselves to be portrayed as such.  Democrats (and I am one) need to be more passionate about their issues and to stand up more for what they believe in.  Sadly, Hannity and Colmes is somewhat reflected in America - Republicans, no matter how crazy and idiotic, are bolder, more passionate, and tougher when it comes to defending their positions.  Kerry never really stood up to Bush; let's hope whoever wins our nomiation in 2008 will stand up to their Republican counterpart.\n\nPersonally, I'm rooting for Feingold.  He stood up to Michels in the Senate race here in WI and crushed him, despite Michels being Bush Light.  He just stands up for himself.

well anything a repubican is for they are against, unless they think of it first, and if a republican thinks it might be a good idea, then they ar against it agaim, and dont forget, anytime you make a point to a dem, they are prone to tell you off, call you names, make fun of your social status, and tell you your intellegence level is lower than theirs!!

This is the game Republicans play:\n\n1-Dishonestly get away with hatred by saying "well you cant just call me hateful if you dont agree" even if they actually are.\n\n2-Turn everything upside down.To hell with freedom in America.Only Conservative Republicans have moral virture and we're gonna proove it to you if its its the last thing we evder do"\n\nFunny how the biggest Conservatives are the biggest hypocrites.\nWhy?\n\nConservative rhetoric is COMPENSATORY for the skeletons in the closet.\n\nNow you know.

It does take two to tango. But I am going to be very pissed at Democrats (I am one) if they pull this stunt. They have talked one way for years, and now appear poised to do the opposite? -- Or is it just another 1) GOP fear and smear job against Democrats, prompted by their recent congressional upset or 2) another historic repeat of a scenario we know so well: GOP messes things up, paints the country into a corner, then leaves the Democrats to clean up their mess?\n\nI need more information.

Ignorance and/or stupidity, just by reading the answers posted thus far is SCARY stuff, this is the mentality present in much of the criminal republican party. Remain focused "N", change is just around the corner and WE can start being America again; tolerant, inclusive, compassionate, and free thinking.

Exactly!!!\n\nIf you are anything like me, you knew this in your soul but so didn't want to believe it that you spent decades searching for other reasons. All of which you tried to find fact and reason in but just never seemed to explain it completely/logically. Escpecially knowing that any rational person would of course not be opposed to so many of the democrat's struggles for the rights of the people.\n\nAnd I, unlike some of the other morons, know you are referring to the 'current' republican party. And I also know that you are referring to 'prejudices' they don't even realize they have.\n\nWhy do I know this? Am I just special?\n\nNO.\n\nI know this because I was one of them! I was a republican until 2002 having been raised in a republican family. My parents used statements like "... I don't agree with discrimination at all BUT... when those ppl try to have more babies and live off the rest of us....."\n\nOr how about, "I think we all should be treated and paid fairly based on our abilities BUT that woman is taking some man's job who has a family to feed..."\n\nI'm glad you have been gifted to be able to 'see' these truths.

From what I was hearing on talk radio (right wing) last night, Kerry's mouth was the October surprise and will keep the republicans in their congressional seats.\nBasically he was campaigning for the Republicans with that stupid remark............................\nPart of that comment included something about studying and "getting smart".  Huh!!!!!!!?????????????\nYou do not GET SMART...you either............ARE SMART or you are not smart.\nEducation makes you educated........not SMART.\nHow did he ever get in the senate????

GASP! A question actually backed with legitimate facts!?\n\nBecause they see that the people of the US are not happy. Not all people, but their Democratic constituency. And because the Republicans are in majority, it is much easier for the Dems to just point fingers, in an attempt to regain control of the Government. It is much easier to condemn than to defend...

He stumbled over his words, and he's apologized for it. But some people like beating a dead horse, because they think it makes them look smart. Or that attacking a Democrat for a slip of the tongue against soldiers will make people forget that Republicans have consistently voted against raising troop wages, have cut funding for veterans hospitals, and can't even make sure that the troops have adequate armor, not to mention continually extending soldier's tours of duty and keeping them in a dangerous war that is going nowhere.

Essentially, it's a combination of the fact that the current republican party as a whole isn't exactly the best group of people out there, and the current democratic party as a whole is too afraid to take action against their opponents when they need to [aka: as much as I hate it to be true, the Democratic party right now is acting like a bunch of acquiescent p.ussies].\nSo this leads to the Republican party taking every jab possible at the Democratic party, and the democrats just say, "Hey, stop that!".\n\nThen, on your point of, "& not talking about why they think they are better", is basically how it is for the Republicans AND the Democrats now. Everyone just says why you shouldn't vote for the opponent and doesnt say crap about what they're doing themselves. Unfortunately, that's even more the case [the second part] with the Democrats right now. And the Republicans just take every dirty stab in the book at them because they know they can get away with it.

Seriously, that is one thing I noticed a long time ago about Republicans and part of what made me switch parties to democrat. \n\nThere seems to be this mentality in the Republican party to constantly blame ANYTHING or ANYBODY else you can for whatever downfall you see in the country at that moment.\n\nThat could be gays demoralizing our nation to those darn anti-patriot treasonist liberals. LOL

Don't know but they do deny the fact that they are liberals and use useless words like fascist and nazi to counter their worthless attack!!!!!\n\nAnd when confronted, most democrats deny that they are democrats, they say they are indpendent!!!

The actions of the Republican party can be fully explained in one word:  "Posturing."  \n\nAs for the Democrats, you assume they are competent.  They are not.  They worship two fallacies:  1) Man can be perfected by his institutions (such as schools and government and civil law).  2) Equality and utopia can be accomplished by the establishment of classes of citizenship.\n\nThese crippling fallacies insure that the Democrats will not be able to fix much of the damage.  They are so conceited about these fallacies that they don't even understand that it was furious INDEPENDENT voters who put them in charge this time.  Independents like me.  What we gave this time we will take away unless they get over their ideological blinders.\n\nYou've been warned.

I've had a long day, so I'm just going with: Because they're f*cking morons with no grounds for impeaching Bush. And yes, they think their constituents are stupid. After all, they were the ones who put them in office. Switched parties? Hell, no. We don't want them.

Why is it that Republicans give one line insulting answers and Democrats give thoughtful responses?\n\nCould it be that our president is operating with the same limited mentality?
