What I detest about their policies is that they pretty much justify being fear-mongerers, selfish, uneducated, and socially backwards. For example, a number of them have come out against Affirmative Action, the EPA, Civil Rights, the Buffet Rule, PBO's Jobs Plan from last year, Universal Health Care, and even college education! These are things that would help the disadvantaged get ahead and even the playing field, and our community. Plus, they have outright alienated Atheists and people of other religions besides Christianity, as if Christianity is the answer to everything.
In addition, I hate how the top Republicans and Conservatives have been brainwashing their supporters to believe in the existence of a so-called liberal media, when in fact it has been the opposite. They claim there's a Liberal media, yet PBO's positive coverage has only been 18% compared to Willard M. Romney's 34%. Call me crazy, but I think they whine about this "elitist Liberal media" in order to not only dupe the voters, but to also pressure the mainstream media into either going easy on Republicans during their coverage, or somehow creating a sense of false equivalence between them and Democrats.
The Republican Party does so much fear-mongering that it reminds me of this episode of the Boondocks, where Ed Wuncler and Gin Rummy held up a convenience store, and they tricked the cop inside into thinking they were the good guys while the clerk was some crazed killer:

That's what the GOP is doing to Democrats and Liberals. They want to trick Republican voters into thinking that the Left wants to "take away their freedom" and do things like take away their guns, even though PBO has yet to increase gun control.
