Reply #42: Maybe you should look to the source.

What you see here most of the time is individual displays of frustration and anger and yeah I'll grant you outright hate, but nothing concerted.

Go to open secrets sometime and look at campaign donations. Look at how much money they've taken in and consider what it buys, how it's spent.

I have a fairly braod range of people of whom I get e-mails and all the urban legends and lies about Clintons and other Dems, all the trash, the form form letter crap about Bush praying with someone that gets debunked in Urban Legends. It runs about 100 to 1 Republican.

It's organised hate and division built on hate and corporate money.

And this "comapassionate conservatism" comes from the top down, there's no need to pretend otherwise


"I think our worldview that I'm trying to articulate is compassionate
conservatism. When you believe in the sanctity of life, you believe
that people are created in God's image, you are compassionate to them
because they are made by God, not by nature or some other --they are
made by God. So you look at them in a compassionate way. That is
George W. Bush."
--Tom DeLay


"This whole thing about not kicking someone when they are down is
bullshit. Not only do you kick him - you kick him until he passes
out - then beat him over the head with a baseball bat - then roll him
up in an old rug - and throw him off a cliff into the pounding surf
below!!!!"
