Now Republicans are patriots because the Pres. is a Republican. Democrats are being portrayed as traitors if they disagree with the President.
In '09 when we have a Democrat President and the Republicans disagree with the Pres. they will be unpatriotic and anti-American and the Democrats will be the true patriots......
Is this scenario working for you?

Because people are idiots when it comes to politics.

Edit: Earnest T is a prime example of this.

They formed formerly Obama grew to grow to be president. They all began as Ron Paul supporters. The stream took off after TARP. they only weren't common as Tea events yet. a great form of Conservatives known (grudgingly, like myself), even formerly 9/11, Bush grew to become into not a financial Conservatives and spent money like mad. the clarification why the Tea social gathering stream worked grew to become into because of the fact this simmering over spending grew to become into shared by skill of a great form of people who finally reached a tipping factor of being bored stiff with the two the Left and precise of the rustic, found out government wasn't going to furnish the respond so the persons had to. Tea social gathering rallies have been an confirmation that particular contributors weren't on my own in there emotions. there grew to become right into a feeling of community.

Looks like a general blanket statement there. The "traitor/patriot/hateriot" talk being tossed around today is at specific people. Ones who call troops murderers, compare them to terrorists, call them incompetent...basically anything fraudulent that makes AQ smile with glee...are called traitors

When were Republicans called traitors during the Clinton Administration?
Those GOP fools shut down the government and impeached the president because he CHEATED ON HILLARY.

This is a relatively new phenomenon and it's frankly disgusting. I'm old enough to remember the 1968 and 1972 election campaigns and while there was a lot of emotion due to the Vietnam war, the vitriol didn't reach the nasty level we see today.

No. I'm pretty tired of it all actually. I hate the war but I worry daily about the soldiers and the children and innocents dying in Iraq. Does this make me a traitor?

No, it doesnt.
Both sides are generally trying to look out for the country and being patriotic in their own way. Anyone who cant see that is a fool and needs to learn to keep their uninformed opinion to themselves.

How about we just dispense with the name calling, even if a democratic president is ushered in and the republican agenda under bush is a complete failure, I for one won't be name calling, it's stupid and it's infantile (and a group that does this is one that I have no desire to be affiliated with)
