Right or wrong, a good portion of the political debate on both sides of the aisle consists of elected officials, or people seeking elected office, trying to scare the voters into supporting them.


Really? Have the Dems told America that if they elect Republicans, their very lives and the future of America is in peril? that is quite different than " *sob* "the children" as you mockingly stated. Just more "Compassionate conservatism" I suppose to mock the sufferings of others. Which in and of itself is a valid point. A Republican President and his supporters refuse to cover 10 million kids and then in defense of that, either attack the kids coming forward in DNC ads or mock their collective sufferings. But this whole "only Republicans can save your life b.s. is beyond the pale.

Vote Republican or Die
