In reply to the discussion: So my liberal sister sees the new Obama 'Forward' ad, and this is what she writes me: [View all]Lawlbringer
(550 posts)is that the Republicans are all about "ME" and "MY AGENDA" while we Dems are compassionate and understanding (for the most part) in our doctrines. This leads to more willingness to compromise, while the Repubs are more of the dig-our-heels-in-and-push. They poison the weak-minded with propaganda ranging in intensity from Fox News to super-crazy like prisonplanet or Infowars.
Then when they get their way and we, as a country, fall on our faces, we finally get to push our sensible agendas through. Then the Repubs come up with their new agenda to completely undo the progress we've made, pushing the propaganda spin machine into high gear, trying to nurture (yes, this is really the only nurturing that the repubs seem to do lol) the seedlings in the weak minded.
Essentially, it's a political ouroboros.
