Here's why right wingers fear democracy.

It's because when we stand in the voting booth and fill out that ballot, for that 1 moment we are all equal.

We all have an equal say when we vote. At that 1 moment, we're all equal. Scary stuff for a right winger.

Right wingers hate when everyone has an equal say and hate equality, even for 5 minutes.

1. Nope, it's demographics they hate. They just happen to be brown.

They LOVED democracy when Rove was telling them about permanent majority. They loved telling us get over it. And elections have consequences. Now, they fear that WE have a permajority. And they hate hose they call parasites. I dont need to tell you what will happen to anyone calling me a parasite. They have free speech, I have righteous indignation, and a knuckle sandwich.

4. They fear and demonize anything and anyone who might even have a chance of undermining

their power...however remote the possibility might be, and however undeserved their power is.

5. they fear many things, but IMO the reason they are going nuts right now

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#USP00p1

is that McCain won 55% of the white vote and still lost. Not only did he lose but he only got about 1/3 of the electoral votes.

They could contain themselves when the person who won the white vote won. Now that it isn't a deciding factor in every Presidential election they can't stand it. I think that is why they are scared.

6. They hate those

smarty pants, book learning, college educated people. They have nothing in common with them and fear them because, in the end, they are always correct.
