They believe that their opinions are fact. The real truth is not easy to face, so they make one up. Telling people the truth does not get you re-elected. Ignorant followers believe that these people must be right because they are on tv and that is why we are in the state we are in today.

Based on this Yahoo! community, more often than not it tends to be the Democrats that post false statements and opinions that are presented as facts. How many times do we have to hear about how stupid Bush is? His IQ is 125, smarter than Kerry and 95% of other people. Everyone is allowed to have different opinions, just back it up with at least one fact. We need to all stick together for the good of America. If you don't like our leaders, register to vote.

I think the better question would be "Why can't PEOPLE separate opinions from fact?"
No party has the corner on the truth.
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once made this comment: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts.
I think to focus in on the facts as best we can advances the political conversation.

Try reading the New York Times? Give me a break! Now if you said something like, "Why can't people separate opinion from fact from both parties?" I would have said that was a good question.

on the same time as the recession actual did no longer end earlier Obama took place of work, asserting that Obama ended the Bush recession is an opinion--you may desire to coach how he ended it, till it replaced right into a nicely-studied and almost universally usual reason and consequence dating. i've got no longer regarded up what share illegals have been given deported, yet once you're precise on that, it rather is a reliable occasion of 'actuality'. it rather is form of humorous. whilst the comments people have grown up with are challenged, it regularly takes people somewhat time to realize that it is an opinion and not a actuality being challenged. as quickly as i replaced into presented to the thought of historiography, i got here across that dissimilar issues i presumed have been info have been actual comments. maximum are not getting one in each of those severe thinking at school. _____________ replaced into the reason for the Civil conflict you could tell from the grammar and length of the sparkling which answer the instructor needs--and you get graded as regardless of if it rather is a actuality, whilst it rather is a end. And ahandle factors out which you have info and deceptive info. He factors out that unemployment replaced into bigger below Obama than below Bush. He leaves out that all of us observed this coming. Obama replaced into asked during the marketing campaign regardless of if unemployment could be below 10% in 2012, and he mentioned that he concept it may be approximately 10% (a upward thrust from what it replaced into on the time)--all of us who paid interest knew unemployment replaced into going up and that the question replaced into how intense could it get. And all of us observed Michael Moore let us know that Bush individually 'deported' Bin weighted down's relatives. Did he 'individually' deport all of us else? i know i replaced into dissatisfied with how little the republicans did approximately immigration on the same time as they have been in place of work, even with Bush asking them to recover from the nonsense and get to paintings. Why difficulty with info. Now Obama had a supermajority, lol.

May we have an example of why you feel we can't separate opinion from facts? Or is this just another liberal rant that has no other basis than hatred for Republicans?

Republicans do not separate fact from opinion because opinion is all they have to justify their hyperactive defensive shields they use to defend themselves from the paranoia they suffer as a result of fear and insatiable appetite.
The appetite can be for the incurable desire for absolutism, the unnavigable thirst for absolute power or/and the addiction to any number of habits or even multiple habits like for peanut butter and caviar, or for power over youngester or animals and finally the power they claim over woman.

That is a very strong generalization. Why do you feel the need to label ALL republicans with the same Stereotype?

Precisely the same question can be leveled at the Democrats.
An old saw comes to mind here: "Opinions are like a$$holes -- everybody's got one, and they all stink."

Seperating opinion from fact;that requires more than a brain stem.
