Where Is The Democrat With Enough Balls To Say All Republicans Are Idiots?

[Yallow]

I am serious.

Name one thing the Republican Party truly stands for that is not evil, or idiotic.

Go ahead.

Climate change denial. Tax cuts for billionaires. Cutting food stamps for hungry children. Repealing not improving Obamacare. The list goes on all the way to hell.

I know the entire Republican Party consists of Fox News watching zombies. Where is the Democrat with enough balls to say "The Entire Republican Party Is Fox News Viewing Imbeciles Living In A Fantasy World" or something like that.

We lose because we are afraid to tell the truth.

I am tired of losing to imbeciles.

1. Well, since some of them are ALREADY going to vote for Hillary this cycle,

I don't think this is a great idea.

[Hortensis]

39. +10,000. Agree. NOT a good idea.

And not exactly the way to differentiate one's own behavior from theirs either.

[emulatorloo]

2. All Republicans aren't idiots. My neighbors aren't.

They don't buy all the garbage put out by the RNC. Voted for Obama, won't vote for Trump.

[global1]

9. Then Why Do They Call Themselves Repugs?....

I have a neighbor also that says he won't vote for Trump and I can't for the life of me understand why he is a Repug nor can he logically explain it. Yet he listens to all the RW talking heads on the radio - Rush, Hannity, etc.

When you confront them with all the Repug indefensible stances that they have - they say they don't agree with them - but still remain a Repug.

[Yallow]

10. Why Are They Republicans?

[gordianot]

3. Many independents are either damaged Democrats or recovering Republicans.

They are the people Political Campaigns spend their money to convince.

[auntpurl]

4. Here's another response

Support for Trump among self-identified conservatives is *TANKING*...

They're not all idiots.

[unblock]

5. let's get sarah silverman ;)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. We have Al Franken, Democratic US Senator!

Who has pretty much said all of that in one form or another. He once unapologetically called their, at least one-time, unofficial leader a "big fat idiot" too as I recall.

[MineralMan]

7. Why would anyone do such a thing?

We need to win this election by a huge margin and retake control of the Senate, as well as gaining ground in the House. That will require getting some Republicans to switch parties in November and vote for Democrats. We want those votes. We won't get them by attacking Republican voters.

Instead, we need to attack Republican candidates, not Republican voters. We're doing that. Nothing is gained by alienating potential voters. Nothing at all.

[unitedwethrive]

15. Exactly! The last thing we need is to contribute to the division in this country.

[Recursion]

8. We want Republicans to vote for our candidate

Which is why so many people at the convention stressed that Trump is distinct from the GOP

[Yallow]

13. ...and deep down inside, themselves.

[oberliner]

32. Sorry, but no

This is ridiculous.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Where is the Republican with enough balls to do the same?

That is the bigger question.

[Yallow]

18. They Call Democrats Every Name In The Book On A Daily Basis And Win Elections

Reason doesn't always work.

Neither does being nice to drooling rabid imbeciles.

[Sheepshank]

14. I think John Huntsman is a decent human being.

I work with several Republicans (hard not to in Utah), that are total Trumpish assholes. There are several co-workers that are kind, gentle and are trying to change the party from the inside.

[Yallow]

16. Huntsman = Republican / Republican = Evil

Not that hard to do the math on that one.

[Sheepshank]

19. I just don't agree with you. Is that ok?

[Yallow]

21. Absolutely!

[Sunlei]

29. He's a McCain/Palin follower, he'll vote Republican even if it's t(R)ump.

Huntsman was one of John McCain's earliest supporters in his 2008 presidential campaign,[38][39] while most Utah and Mormon politicians supported Mitt Romney.[40] Huntsman helped McCain campaign in New Hampshire and went with him to Iraq over Thanksgiving in 2007.[41] At the 2008 Republican National Convention, Huntsman delivered a nominating speech for Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the party's nominee for Vice President.[42]

17. I'd say ignorant and/or "bought off" instead.....

I don't think ALL Republicans are idiots. Trump ? He isn't a genius, that's for sure, unless he has a genius for wrecking the R party.

[Cal33]

20. I think what you are saying is: Why don't Democrats in power point out openly, loud and clear,

each time the Republicans do something like making the rich still richer, and the poor still
poorer - even to the point of increasing the numbers of unnecessary deaths among the
latter.

Obama rarely did. Too much of a gentleman? Sanders and Warren have already done so.
This helped to cause people to flock to them. They would have done more of it as presidents.
Would Clinton hammer in this point as president? It certainly would help to keep the
Republican masses better informed. The Republicans control 90% of the news media, as
we all know. They certainly try their best to hide this point.

Democrats don't have the above advantage. We need a president who speaks out more
openly about it.

[jcgoldie]

22. whats the point?

You've got Trump running their party and he already alienates them himself. We will take any votes we can get. Aside from the presidential race though saying what you are saying is just like the BS the teaparty does and then government shuts down. Believe it or not about 40% +/- of the country does not think like you or I. In order to get anything accomplished for the issues and the people we care about our democratic politicians will have to work with the other side. Burning every bridge and calling them all idiots is completely counter productive.

[we can do it]

24. All are idiots who support this narcissistic pig.

[jcgoldie]

26. I agree but

The OP referred to "all republicans."

[Yallow]

37. Yep - Call Yourself A Republican You Support Voter Suppression

And all the rest.

Don't like the association, change to independent.

Republicans are evil.

Plain and simple.

Just take a look at Ted Cruz, the #2 psycho vote getter.

[we can do it]

23. Right here.

[NCTraveler]

25. All Republicans aren't idiots and it would be foolish for our elected officials to say so. nt

[Yallow]

38. You're Right - Some Are Actually Traitors

And are knowingly making America weaker.

[NCTraveler]

43. Very few are traitors.

They do hold positions that weaken us in many ways.

[BeyondGeography]

27. That would be idiotic

I think most Republicans have an empathy deficit (very often severe), but that doesn't make them idiots. Just as people with superior powers of empathy are capable of saying and doing stupid things themselves.

[Binkie The Clown]

28. Rooming with the Republican with balls enough to say all Muslims are terrorists.

In other words, answering one blanket, bigotted condemnation with another is not a very adult way to behave. I don't think any Democrat should sink to Trump's low level.

A statement like "All Republicans are..." is no different from statements like "All blacks are...", "All Muslims are...", "All liberals are...", "All Mexicans are...", "All Southerners are...", ... etc. It's just plain wrong.

[Yallow]

40. Republicans Are Making America Weaker By The Second - They Are (ALL) Idiots Or Traitors

Period.

Even the cute ones, and the ones that pretend to have reason.

The party itself is evil.

Are there any good Nazis, or Klansmen?

Understand?

[Binkie The Clown]

47. Your brush is far too broad, and if I must say it, bigoted.

My 94-year old mother is a Republican and she is neither and idiot nor a traitor. When she thinks "Republican" she thinks Eisenhower. His ideals are her ideals, and she sees today's party through that idealistic lens. So beyond labels like "idiot" or "traitor" you have a large number of people who are not as attentive to politics as we are. So we might also add such labels as "inattentive", "apathetic or uninterested", "brainwashed" (and no, you needn't be an idiot or a traitor to be brainwashed), "stuck in an obsolete tradition". And to top things off, her view of Democrats is the result of a seriously traumatic incident at the hands of Democrats (in the form of union thugs) when she was a teenager in the late 1930s. Did you take things like that into account?

Painting things a "simple", and "black and white" is a big mistake. We can't stop the Republicans from making that mistake, but we should not make the same mistake ourselves. Things are always more nuanced than people like Trump make them out to be. Don't put yourself in that category. It's bad company to keep.

[Yallow]

49. Eisenhower Is Dead - Along With The Party He Represented - Long Live The New Republican Party

Fox News Zombies......

Reality ignorers.

[Binkie The Clown]

53. So much hate, so little time. n/t

[Orsino]

30. They aren't all idiots...

...but their platform is evil.

[oberliner]

31. All Republicans are not idiots

That would be a ridiculous thing to say.

[Yallow]

41. Lemmings Perhaps?

Psychopaths?

Traitors?

Fools?

All of the above.......

[Hav]

33. That might backfire

Right now, Trump has created a train wreck and his advisors keep sending more trains. More and more get disgusted with what they see, hopefully. There is no need to give them a reason to find common ground and make it a Dem vs Repub competition. This should be about common decency vs cruel and disgusting behaviour.

[IamTheNoodle]

34. Because we aren't 12 years old nor have the mentality of Trump

What a silly thread OP, what's the point of it?

[Wayburn]

35. Only an ignorant person would say "All" of any mainstream group are idiots.

[bornskeptic]

36. "All my opponents are idiots"

sounds like something DONALD Trump would say. You can say it, but I prefer our candidates not go there.

[DemonGoddess]

42. All repubs are certainly not idiots

Have I worked with some real idiots who belong to that party? Yes.

But, hubs and his whole family are Repubs. They're reasonable people, who are utterly APPALLED at what their party has become. You guessed it, NOT voting for Trump either.

[Yallow]

44. If You Call Yourself A Republican You Are An Idiot Or A Traitor

Your love of power means more to you than your country, where thousands die from lack of medical care, unregulated firearms, climate change events, and other problems the GOP doesn't want to address. Their lack of action amounts to treason/murder.

I could go on too. Like maybe war based on lies perhaps? Under-funding the VA forever. How about Embassy Security?

Where is the Republican pushing against voter suppression?

(crickets chirping)

It's all about power to them, and to hell with our lives, and our country.

My hatred for ALL REPUBLICANS IS SEETHING.

(but would never be violent)

Gotta make some dinner.

[Yallow]

45. It's Catch 22 - Republican? You Are Either An Idiot Or A Traitor

Name one single thing the Republican Party truly stands for that is not simply evil......

(crickets chirping)

And no Democrat has the balls to say it.

My point.

Have a great evening y'all.

[bettyellen]

46. None are that stupid.

[ecstatic]

48. Not sure we should go that far, but we should make it embarrassing as hell

to be associated with them.

[anamnua]

50. Realpolitik demands

that lukewarm republicans are converted; language like this will not help.

[beachbum bob]

51. true republicans are hard to find but they had many good beliefs

of the top of my mind:

- limited growth of government
- limited growth of government intrusion into personal life
- personal accountability and responsibility

as we have seen, at least with the 3 above...those values have all been corrupted. So what we used to see as republican values have mostly disappeared

[nruthie]

52. You are totally right! They ARE all mean, greedy and stupid.
