Nearly all of them play on emotions and use deliberately divisive and misleading statements because the Democratic Party is aware that such statements will win more votes than making a reasoned argument. One of my prime objections to the way the Democratic Party operates is the way that they cater to rage, divisiveness, and emotional issues without ever offering solutions. I can't say I'm much for the Republicans, either, but at least they keep the Democrats somewhat honest, and they keep the fool Liberatarian Party (which has nothing to do with Liberatarian principles, as far as I've noticed) out of the road. -- TEDDY BEARS ARE NICER THAN PEOPLE-- HUG YOUR OWN TODAY !
