Question

Horseshoes, I dare you tell me to pay attention. I can tell you what these each party is about till you're blue in the face. Can you do the same? Didn't think so.

Answer 1

Republicans are all about the politics of personal destruction.  It's what they do best, and they do it every chance they get.  Fear is at the foundation of their campaigning.  They know they can't win on the issues, so the bash their opponents and pray Americans are gullible enough to buy it.

Obama IS  the issue.

This country has fought Communism for decades, we can't have a communist influence president.

These subversives must stoped

Answer 3

Same reason why democrats are picking on McCain and Palin.

Answer 4

Because they don't even know what the issues are, so they don't have anything to stand for, except for staying in Iraq.

Answer 8

because the news media won't do it because he's black! Its easier to pick on a women and get away with it. Plus  BO has only talked BS.  

Answer 9

Republicans distort everything they say!

Answer 10

That is truly the only thing they have. They cannot stick to the issues because they don't know what they are. They are a symbol of what has come to pass in the last eight years. That is what they stand for. The old, broken ways of the past. That is what they stand for. Fear is what they stand for. Status quo is what they are. No more please.

Answer 11

Because Republicans have a terrible record to run on. They can't say vote for me because of all the great things I've done for the country.

They have failed, so their goal is to make people think Democrats are even worse.

Answer 12

This is how an election works.  How about paying better attention?

Answer 13

Maybe he could follow Obama and just make up all kinds of crazy sh*t that the public wants to hear but nobody could ever actually live up to.  

Answer 14

Because that's the way the political game is played in America.

Answer 15

bc republicans are Hippocrates  

Answer 16

Thats what I was wondering, its like get on with the issues already.

Answer 17

Because they have no issues to stand by. I am just laughing at this joke of a convention.

Answer 18

Because that's what they are known to do. Republicans NEVER stick to the issues...the only way they know how to fight is DIRTY. Bless their little hearts. Don't worry, they won't win this year. This is the year for the Democrats.
