ORIGINAL: Thinker2 I am a Republican. A middle of the road Republican. Might be the last middle of the road ANYTHING left in this country. I believe in facts and in history. I don't like hype. I believe in traditions. I think this is probably the last straw, the last shot across the bow, from the Democratic party. I am puzzled how people who claim to respect Democracy, who claim to value the process, who claim to believe in Freedom and in our country, can be so incredibly PETTY and SMALL minded. Miss Griffin's photo was literally the last straw. You start by noting you're not the kind of Republican doing the offensive things (what others are deriding as a RINO), and then go on to represent Democrats as a cohesive block, citing NOT party officials but the comments and actions of entertainers. That's your case, such as it is. Or rather, isn't. I'm pretty pissed at Democrats, but for reasons rooted in reality, not fantasies I've decided to believe. I'm pissed at the GOP leadership similarly -- not because Ted Nugent is insane, but because Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump and his Cabinet, and the GOP Congress enabling them are doing and saying ridiculous, destructive, and even dangerous things. Find reality. Then you can explain how you're a moderate Republican. Well the thing is, if one just looks back to the great concern for the rule of law the republicans spoke of against Bill Clinton only half of such political piousness, would now produce impeachment articles in the house but for the R after Trumps name. Then all the right wing insults, disparagements such as calling anyone who was against GWB's war, traitors, as if to oppose is to aid and assist our enemies, calling a woman who wanted birth control in Obamacare, a slut or whore, the outlandish hypocrisy you could cut with a knife. People I know from the right under Obama, for the first time in my adult life about any pres...telling me to my face that 'they should drag that 'N' out of the white house and shoot his 'bl...ass.' All of the complaints I see now against the dems have been what I've seen and have been my complaints against the the repubs and the right for almost 40 years and since Reagan and the big sell out to the elites, rent-seekers, bankers, the corp. the MIC. This OP is bullshit and is absolutely nothing compared to the 'face' of the right in the US since Reagan. It was they who were the most vocal in demonizing the left and dems. Just read Ann Coulter, that's all she does is insult and demean people and policies with which she and the right disagrees and she is by no means alone.
