If the Repukes are so "incensed" and "angry", why aren't we throwing it in their faces?

When we wanted the Dems to be angry, everyone always was like "keep your powder dry" and crap like that. We were too afraid to get angry because of how the Repukes would LABEL us, yet here they are, angry and attacking, and what are the Dems doing? Taking it on the fucking chin like pussies.

WTF are they doing down in D.C.!?

1. I'm afraid you are equating children with adults.
Just because the Pubics act like children doesn't mean the Dems need to. Myself, I like the fact that adults are in charge now.

2. Rule ONE: Repugs always accuse Democrats of what they themselves are guilty of
Edited on Sun Jan-28-07 12:05 PM by emulatorloo
The republicans take their own faults and accuse the opposition of having them. The term is "projection" -- they project thier own faults onto others.

That is, the repugs were angry so they accused the Democrats of being angry.

The repugs are weak on security, so they accuse the Democrats of being weak on security.

The repugs are corrupt, so they accuse the Dems of being corrupt.

In '04 campaign, Cheney was unethincal and had no moral compass, and he accused John Kerry of being unethical and lacking moral compass.

Bush shirked his responsibilities during the vietman war and abandoned his unit, so Bush supporters painted Kerry the war hero as shirking his responsibilities in the vietnam war.

AND ON AND ON AND ON. Anytime a Republican makes a claim about thier opponent, they are really talking abou themselves.

Happily dems are more honest. They don't accuse others of faults they have.
