Used to, people disagreed about politics and could still remain friends. Not anymore!
Their dirty play and foul tactics have sickened many. Self-centered, illiterate and full of false patriotism has taken over what used to be sane but misguided.
Even those that have no money act like Newt and Company.
But it is okay, more and more are starting to realize how stupid the right has gotten and how mean and dirty they play. Those of us who have always had a heart for others besides themselves are still in the same place but many "former" repukes that I know are starting to realize their (crazy) party is leaving them behind and if they want to keep their souls have changed their party or have just stopped identifying with repukes.

(31,997 posts)guess I just realized that truly there is no hope for them! Even those that profess to be Christian are vile and disgusting. If I were not already a Christian myself, with those type of people as examples, I would never want to be like them! They are NOT very good witnesses for sure!

(17,301 posts)About 50 years ago, negative advertisement was avoided because it tended to backfire on the person sending out the negative ads. People would be turned off by the negativity and NOT vote at all. Even when the ad was disguised, it tended to reduce the vote for the person doing the negative ads.
Which is what I think is really happening.
Most average people don't believe the negative crap. It just turns off so many normal people from voting at all that the crazy vote outnumbers the normal voter.
RepubliCONS always win when the fewest number of people vote.
