Answer 1

liberals lie and twist the media around. they **** up death numbers and poll percentages

Answer 2

its a typical tactic played once from a Soviet advisor, If you say something long enough, and it isn't challenged effectively, then you will get the populus to believe it. Even if it is a lie.
Liberals have a tainted view of thinking that big companies and corporates are evil. They exploit, they use of resources, they take advantage of the little guy, etc, etc. I guess if they actually paid attention in economics 101, they would...and I think SHOULD, know better.
the poor do not open factories or give opportunities. It is the rich or the well off, and if you plan on soaking the rich, who already pay their fair share, then eventually, it will be you that gets soaked. Sure, there are always exceptions to the basic rule, but in general, companies exist to make money, its a capitalist market system. The democrats seem to be trying to turn our system into a socialist system.....which hasn't worked in history that I know of....aka...Nazi Germany.....Communist...
Considering how the democratic candidates have been full of corrupt donation scandals, lying on the floor of the senate, wanting to fix the Alternative Minimum Tax...(a soak it to the rich program that got out of hand) but only fix it now because its a campaign year rather than fix it forever. I can't see where they get this "greed" or "corruption" accusation from.

Answer 3

First we begin by noting that there is such thing as a liberal Democrat and aswell a liberal Republican. But the GOP is generally characterized as greedy and corrupt, because, first of all, you can say that about almost any politician (and if you're first to start mudslinging then what you say publically first generally sticks the best). So it works as a good diversion. i.e., "We're not greedy and corrupt the GOP is!" When in reality it could be safe to assume both are greedy and corrupt. And secondly, because its politics, and instead of addressing actual laws, bills, proposals, propositions, plans, budgets, etc. it's much easier to fight the character of your opponents.

Answer 4

It doesn't seem that anyone actually read your posted article. I did, and my answer is, "because they are the party of graft greed and corruption!"

Answer 5

the GOP is aligned with the big corporations. they tend to look out after the wealthier part of the country and tend to give breaks to the corporations before the less wealthy working class people.

this is why the labor unions tend to support the democrats

the republican philosphy in a nut shell. give the coporations more money and they will hire more people. more people will make more money and spend creating a nice cycle. the only problem in todays world of bottom line thinking corporations they tend to keep more of the money that should be trickling down.

the democratic philosphy in a nutshell. give the people more money. with more money they will buy more things. creating the need for the corporations to make more things which creates the need for more jobs. and the companies make more money.

Of course, it is also true about the Democrats.
