Independent voters, who's more scarier, right wing extremists or liberal extremists?

Question

There are actually some conservative points I agree with and liberal views I agree with although I tend to lean left. But the extremists of both parties are truely frightening...you can't reason or have a rational discussion with...just insults, shouting and name calling.

Answer 1

Right Wing!  They are super human who have never sin.

Answer 2

right are evil and scheming. liberals are like the wise good owl.

Answer 3

That's why I think a lot of Democrats were favoring Hillary Clinton.  I think she was a little more centrist.  McCain had some very good points in his address that I think a lot of people could identify with.  But, what they aren't talking about is that starting with Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America" and lasting even now promised us that they were going to get the bad guys out of DC.  I don't think I have to remind you that all they have done is talk about that because they are the bad guys.  They, starting with Reagan, are the ones that really have racked up the record deficits; they've cut revenue and increased expenses, leaving future generations to pick up the tab.  Those are the middle of the road Republicans.  Then we have the right wing neocons who are against science, diversity, common sense, and anything else that "their" Bible tells them.  Maybe the most absurd is the woman running as the Vice President on the Republican ticket, assured that "family values" does not include abortion even when the pregnancy is due to rape or incest.  Her religious/political views tell her that the Iraq War is "a task sent from God" and that a natural gas pipeline was God's will.  Now maybe I would overlook her religious fervor if she had shown some kind of inkling on how to run an organization, but of course she hasn't.

Answer 4

The liberals frighten me.  A bunch of Robin Hoods who will keep stealing from the rich until there's no body left to steal from.  

Answer 5

Both. There is no difference in my mind except where they stand on issues.

Answer 6

I find right wing extremists more frightening because elected R wing politicians more fully pander to them, put their ideas into effect to a degree.  They tend to be used by Cheney type corporate right wingers to get what they want.  Also, the combo has autocratic tendencies.

Left wingers tend to be less effective, so less frightening.  Their liberal ideaologies lead them to keep elections open, so they can be turned out.

Answer 7

more scarier? lol

Answer 8

The Right Wing are like an Evil Empire.

The left are a bunch of naive pollyannas...but they mean well
