Tell him that when people are scared they will do and say anything. Your 10 y.o. nephew is very perceptive.

You tell him that Republicans aren't the only ones. Then you sit down and explain that politics is a complex topic that rarely has any absolutes thrown in the equation. Many people become heated on the topic of politics because they have been led to honestly believe that only one party has a track record of lying to or misleading the country and it's people and are far too many individuals that simply aren't prepared to allow their minds to expand so they can understand that every view point has several sides some valid some not, but it all contributes to the subject at hand... It seems like he is trying to show off to his uncle by vaguely touching on something he heard someone else say about a topic that is supposed to be a grown up thing. Start teaching him young that politics is only as black and white as the purported bias of it's followers. That way he can learn to make intelligent decisions without leaning on a crutch of he said she said extreme thinking when he gets older, like so many people do these days.

Tell him that there is no such thing between republicans and democrats, they are all controlled by foriegn bankers who are working to destroy America. Republocrats are just sold out puppets, selling out America.
......But dont tell him about 9-11 being an inside job, or about CPS taking kids and testing pesticide on them, or about our government torturing kids to get information from their parents, Dont tell him that because then he wouldnt be a good slave.

Tell him this:
Domocrats want government to give them free handouts and all sorts of programs to give americans free money at the cost of those who work.
Republicans believe that you can have nice things if you go out and get a job and be part of society!!
Oh thats got to hurt go get a job you lefty freak you!!
