STOP falling for wedge issues
It's not god. It's not guns. It's not gays. It's not abortion. It's not taxes. It's not morals. It's not terrorists.

IT IS HATE. The right will make up anything to denegrate the dirty liberals with. They will do it to anybody. Clark, Dean, Kucinich, ANYBODY. This was the most viscious, vile, destructive campaign I've ever seen and the Confederacy (all red states) said "rah".

So knock off the blame game crap. We either face the fascist theocracy and call it what it is or we just surrender by default.

1. I don't even think it's the hate.
I think it's the theft.

But I agree with you about the rest.

It doesn't explain 60/40 splits in state after state. We lost. America likes to hate.

3. Good point.
Sorry, but I think you're right.

Can we make them hate the rich? Probably not without mass media control.
