Low information voters and misinformed voters often use the old refrain, "both parties are the same," when they tell us why they didn't vote - again.
We've known that political leaders have their flaws...
...but we wondered if the saying is correct and that both Dems and Repugs carry the same political messages to the voters.
Others found some differences here and there too, like this...
...and this, of course.
So once again we directed our crack team of investigators to hit the internets to find out if this old saw was true.
The answers were startling, to say the least, some felt that there was a method to the madness of labeling both parties the same...
...and this was the first thing our investigators found - a puzzling picture of the Repugs' favorite candidate and how they feel about him...
...followed by a convoluted piece of reasoning from the same source...
...leading to our investigators wondering if one of the differences between the two parties was what one of them chose to ignore.
But undaunted, the investigators continued to find more differences between right and left like this one showing us some comparisons between the righties and the fascistas...
...as well as this short conversation between neighbors...
...while even the children got involved.
And some of the Cons pointed out another big difference between the parties in the matter of truth-telling...
...and what to do about liars...
...and gun control...
...and morality...
...and who has the Biggest Tent...
...and political correctness...
...and even tricks by the Devil himself...
...as well as tax matters...
...and hypocrisy...
...and family values...
...and practical politics...
...and business cycles...
...and gay marriage...
...and race...
But we think we finally found a pattern here...
...and the last piece of evidence was a plea from the Democratic side...while the Republicans were busy talking with their industrialist sponsors and the oil boys...
...which finally made it possible to figure out the real differences between Left and Right!
********************
The way that Republicans get out the vote is simple: The Conservative political tools of fear and hate.
Fear and hate appeals to the uneducated, superstitious voters of today and the reason is simple.
When you are the party of the rich in a democratic society it's the only thing that works to fool the voters.
And when your party lies, deceives, steals, and kills as a matter of policy what else CAN work except for the political tools of fear and hate?
When you put it all together, there's only one way to stop the Conservative menace and that's to...
...criminalize Conservatism!
