Do not ever make the mistake of thinking that the Republicans are anything but the enemy.

23. Today's republican politicians are the enemy. Completely agree.

Republican voters are another thing. As things go forward I hope for some of them to come to their senses. They are US citizens, part of the 99% and many are my friends, neighbors and relatives. I do not consider the republican voter my enemy. If I did I wouldn't even try to convince them to understand what progressives and liberals believe. I know how difficult it is to talk sense to many of them but I still try because they are not my enemy. But today's republican politicians are enemies of America from what I see them doing. I don't need to list the utter crap they say, support and work for.

I used to vote Republican up to 2000. It was then I was beginning to come to my senses. Even years before this I started having my doubts but I still voted republican. I am embarrassed to say that I listened to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and believed their lies and spin.

Even some republican politicians show signs of a soul from time to time but it never lasts for long and sometimes their "compassion" is only being used as a tool to ingratiate themselves to progressives in order to get close enough to stick the knife in. I truly hate them and honestly see them as my enemy and as the enemy of all that is good in America. Most republican voters are simply deceived by these "republicans". They are the new republicans and don't look like anything a republican was before that asshat Reagan.

Nixon wasn't a total republican ahole. He did some awful things but he also did some good things. Ford was a pretty good guy I think but after that things changed and republican politicians changed so that now they are the enemy.
