Why does the opposing candidate / party "hate America"?

Question

I always see "why does (fill in the blank) hate America"? Do people REALLY think that Joe Q Candidate hates America?

Answer 1

Obviously the answer is no except for the left/right loonies

Answer 2

i don't think either party hates America--they just have differnt visions of America's future.

Answer 3

Because that person is not an American.  Notice he does not even put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance.  What does this say about his character?

This country will turn into a free for all. Chaos everywhere!

He should just put a turbin on his head and an AK47 in his hands.  Then maybe you would see who he really is.

Answer 4

Not really. No one running for President of our great country hates it. That is simply stupid election time rhetoric.

Answer 5

It's just part of political propaganda to try to sway the voters, that's all. I wish anyone who says that they hate America would move away to another country and see how good they really had it here.

Answer 6

No candidate has ever said that they "hate America."

If they did, they wouldn't be running for President of this country.

They would be run out of town everywhere they went.

Where did you get this ridiculous information?

Answer 7

I do not know. My thought is, if McCain is such a patriot and really loves America, he would step down and not run for president.he is in it just for himself and not for the good of the country.

Answer 8

By opposing candidate you mean Obama, right? Because I highly doubt anybody with any mental stability whatsoever has ever claimed that John McCain hated America.  

Answer 9

Joe Q Candidate doesnt but i think BaRack omaba does.

Answer 10

Republicans don't hate Americans, per say, they just like money more thats all.

Answer 11

Anyone who dares to run against the republican party hates america.. I thought we knew that.. It is said every election by the republicans and they are just hoping you have a short term memory!

Answer 12

No, if they are rational they don't, but people say irrational things to belittle any candidate they oppose.

Some examples:

Any Black person who does not vote for Obama is a traitor to his race.

Any White person who does not vote for Obama is prejudiced.

Democrats offer welfare

Republicans offer warfare

Democrats offer higher taxes

Answer 13

No, it's just a way for that party to demonize the other candidate or party, and encourage votes for their own candidate.

Answer 14

Because they hope that that kind of lie would make people vote for their candiate since the candiate 'loves America'
