These are all things which I have heard from Republican's, different people but who all say almost the exact same thing word for word, why?
"If you don't like the country get out of it."
"Bush is the lesser of two evils."
"Cut and run"
etc.
the point is why does all their answers sound exactly alike?

There was a story on Yahoo News yesterday about how several Repub candidates had responded to an AARP Survey with IDENTICAL answers. They had all copied from a Republican list of "talking points".

They have no answers. This is all they got, and they have to use it as much as they can because Dems are winning in the polls 3- 1.
The first one the "if you don't like America get out" is a guilt trip tactic. They try to guilt trip you into their beliefs, and if you don't you hate America. Now compare this tactic to this tactic and you'll notice it's the same
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
For the second tactic they use this because nobody likes Bush. I mean what are they going to say "Bush has done a good job"? Look at this and you'll see why they use the lame "Bush is the lesser of 2 evils" routine. http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

Cut and Run tactic is still a weird one. Reagan cut and ran after close to 300 Marines were blown up by Hezbollah. Nixon cut and ran from Nam. Bush cut and ran from the first Persian Gulf war. Hell Republicans love to cut and run.
The point is they have no plans, no idea's, and their losing big in the polls.

I thoroughly trust you on ACORN. i don't care what the Republicans do to win your vote, a minimum of they don't register human beings to vote 50 circumstances. I assure you that the voter turnout this election doubles through fact of what ACORN did. those human beings, alongside with the folk registered extra advantageous than as quickly as, might desire to be arrested on federal crimes. hence they does not be allowed to vote ever returned. Your answer don't have been deleted.

Never heard the second quote, but yes, it's well known that Republicans have talking points that get distributed via e-mail and fax every morning. That's not even a secret - Republicans admit doing it, and the press knows who distributes them. Heck, the GOP distributes them TO the press.

Americans are people who stand for the American team. That's what it means.
Can you imagine cheerleaders at a football game ridiculing their own quarterback if a play goes badly? Not a winning behavior. Inconceivable to Republicans.
