Why do the conservatives expend so much energy attacking the liberals?

Question

3 part question -- Wouldn't it be more productive to actually come up with a plan of action and parlaying it into activism instead of harboring hatred for fellow Americans? It seems conservatives on this board bash all liberals for wanting to end the war and yet I don't see any good ideas, just criticism... refer to Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh -- now, what about Scooter Libby? What possible explanation is there for this pardon? Possibly "compassionate conservative". Once again, interesting that we always need to place "compassionate" before conservative but not before liberal. Why is this?

Angie, thank you for thinking. Yes, I am a liberal, and we often attack our own to my dismay, but I was really, really curious as to how many people would just snap on political auto-pilot with today's news instead of thoughtfully reading the question and realizing that I took a similar shot. More people should slow down, stop looking at definitive party lines, and read between the lines, or simply really read the lines, before making a decision about anything that influences our future with the magnitude of a presidential election. Come on people, let's look at character that's real, not what someone wants us to see. All politicians and talking heads are actors, in it for their own good, not ours!

Answer 1

Because republicans are not really for the people, they are for themselves. If it furthers THEIR agenda, all is well. But if not, it's not worth it to them to bother with it.
I just wish that one day we will have a president that isn't concerned about what party does what. And maybe be open to listening and understanding both sides. And then have the guts to compromise an do what's in the best interests of "The People".

Answer 2

Last question first. Scooter was taking a fall for Dumb Dick Cheney and Bush is obligated to pardon him. Everyone knows Dick Cheney is the guilty dog that leaked Valarie Plame's name as a CIA agent. Cheney had Scooter take the blame for him with a pardon in the background. now for the first question< The well informed conservatives that gave us the dumb donkey George Bush two terms can't win any other way so they spend 12 years attacking the liberals and it worked on the well informed people of the USA.

Answer 3

Do you have any knowledge of American politics? Read Rush Limbaugh's primer, "How Things Ought To Be" and then try another question. An understanding of Islamic goals would also help you in forums like this.

Answer 4

First of all, attacking people is not solely the conservatives' strategy. Every party has their plan of attack. Second of all, why would you ask a question like that and then promptly attack conservatives?

Answer 5

The real irony Cash is that

Liberals are there own worst enemy.
They go after each other when it suits there agenda.

You don't need Coulter and Limbaugh to do that.

Answer 6

Hmm... that argument goes both ways and it's freakin hilarious considering the million Libby ?'s today about how all the conservatives are criminals with no regard for the law

Answer 7

Liberals bash Conservatives on these boards just as much as Conservatives bash Liberals on these boards.

Answer 8

What's the matter, don't like it when you get back what you dish out?

You may not put that crap out but there are so many libs that will spew utter BS and lies and if you can't take what they are dishing out then you need to report them for their lies and if not, live with it.

Answer 9

it' Conservative hate radio. they listen to it all day and it is like their own personal cheerleader egging them on to spread hate toward Liberals. by the way, I have never met a "compassionate conservative". I hope I do, but I'm not holding my breath.
