Like:
Bush lied, people died
Faux News
Save a country, impeach a cowboy
Clinton ruined a dress, Bush ruined a nation
Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot
More trees, Less Bush
The GOP is not the boss of me
McCain is a pain
Are these the types of rhymes and slogans you were thinking of?

Rhymes and slogans take a lot of thought.
Both sides use them well.

I'm not stating this because of party affilation (I'm an independent), but you can't single out either party when it comes to this, ryhmes and slogans have been used in politics for a century or longer. They have always been part of politics, and both parties have used them. They are catchy, easy to remember, and get the point across, that's why they have been used in politics for so long.

It seems a lot of them just don't understand the concept of reason. They believe if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. These idiots are still throwing around Vince Foster conspiracy theories. The hard-core Republican cultists are simply beyond help. They can't be reasoned with. No amount of evidence will convince them.

Do you mean like these:
Don't Panic Its Organic
Make Love Not War
Flower Power
Hell No, We Won't Go
When Clinton Lied Nobody Died
Votel Liberal and Nobody Gets Hurt
Use it or Lose it
Are those the ones you are talking about?

Simple-mindedness?

That's not a question. It's a statement with a question mark at the end.
For instance,"Why do liberals feel rather than think?"

they like to just hear something and believe it, rather than hear something, think about it, criticize it, fact check it, and then decide what they believe.
they're too busy hating everyone who isn't republican to think about why they hate the people they hate, and why they do the things they do.
slogans only neatly wrap these feelings of hate into nice little things they can remember and spout off at the drop of a hat.

Same reason they watch Fox; they want to be entertained and validated, not challenged and informed.

Bumper sticker speak is for stupid people.
Don't think it's a left/right thing just a smart/stupid thing.
