republicans are better at: _____________
Lying, cheating, stealing, fooling, bullying, hiding, war profiteering, organizing, getting the vote out, stealing votes, propaganda, controlling the media, brain washing, dividing and conquering.

They are better at hypocrisy, piracy, tyranny, trickery, negativity, bullying.

They excel at stupidity, pomposity, arrogance, bloviation, treachery and polarity.

Whatever evil they attempt, they get it seems, they seem to get everything they want, they seem to be able to steamroll over every logical obstacle, they politically assassinate all enemies, they destroy everything in their path, and they seem to be unstoppable. But that's an illusion.

They are better at benefiting from the nation's vulnerabilities, and taking advantage of our fears and anxieties. They are better in all the ugly things in human life.

They have taken all these negative human traits and made them work for them, and against us, and we have got to start looking at what makes them succeed and what makes us fail and we need to turn it around and we need to do it now, yesterday, if not sooner.

2. there's more:
organizing
campaigning
fund raising
winning and holding Congress.

Call them all the names you want, but they are in charge because they're better at it than we are.

4. I wouldn't call having embeds at Diebold, ES&S, etc. as being "better...
at it than we are."

They are cheating.

6. They march in lockstep, all right
Even if they don't like each other, they stick together AGAINST us. Sometimes it seems that Democrats would rather destroy their fellow Democrats than defeat Repukes. Examples: The seething hatred for Hillary Clinton displayed here on DU; the whole Lieberman debacle in Connecticut (yes, the good guy won, but the bad guy refused to admit defeat and keeps right on running - NO Repuke would dare to do that!). I don't know what it's going to take to stop us from hurting ourselves. I wish I did. It's almost as if we're waiting for some outside force to step in and remove the Repukes, instead of doing it ourselves.

9. Hoo, boy, let me get my list
Blaming their failures on everyone else ...

Dumbing down a message to binary - only two options - one saintly, one pure evil ...

Getting their brains down to moron level to address the stupid ...

Catapulting the propaganda ...

Buying up media outlets as "mom-and-pop" operations and "selling" to larger controllers ... (paper exchanges, by the way) ...

10. ...controlling the message with the help of a
compliant media, and convincing people to vote against their own self-interest through lies and deception.

21. Screwing the people, then convincing them that they are improving things
More people vote against their own interests simply because they think the repukes are going to be on their side.

22. Conforming and viewing difference as inferior. It seems only they are
right even when they know in their hearts,that what they are perpetuating,is wrong.

They stick to their brethren without logic or question.

They are easily lead to committing horrible acts of inhumanity out of fear of their fellow man.

They don't seem to be able to remember history that isn't distorted by religious dogma or current Rove consumption points.

Social conscience is to be kept to a personal level. If you are in despair it is you own fault.

So sad that God's GOLDEN RULE is the one they seem to use the most sparingly.

Love these bumper stickers.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS VOTE REPUBLICAN!

GOD IS NOT SPELLED G.O.P!
