Why do so many Democrats come across as hysterical about various issues? I find it strange.?

I don't think you meant hysterical, didn't you mean aware. I am very aware that bush is the worst president in history. I am aware that his tax cuts didn't effect me. Only the very rich. I am very aware that the deficit that he continues to run up will effect my Grand kids and great grand kids as they will have to pay for it. I am aware that the war in Iraq is wrong, there was no weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam had no ties to al quida. I am aware that gas prices have risen dramatically. I wonder myself how the 34% that still support Bush isn't aware of these things and step up to do something about it.

because they're scared.  Their own party has tried to scare the pants out of people to get votes and they succeeded...for a while anway.  Until about a couple weeks ago when dems took control of the house and senate.  Next, the presidency!!  I'm conservative but I am also a dem.  In fact there are a lot of people like me who don't necessarily agree with republicans but aren't godless liberals like republicans say we are.

I'm a Republican... The majority of the Democrats are morally wrong, and are all for that stuff....  Its almost like a sickness... They whine and stomp their feet about our soldiers being over in Iraq, fighting for our Country, and then they whine and stomp their feet for gay rights, etc.....Does that make sense..... Scary bunch of people, huh...

Cindy, thank you for your provocative question.  It would be refreshing to hear honest and sincere debate and discourse.  Instead, there is an over abundance of "name-calling", "vulgarity", and "rage".  Often we treat and speak to our dog better than the President of the United States or in reference to our Creator. Neither Democrats or Republicans are "idiots" though we sometimes behave as such and God is alive and well and still putting up with our "un-like" God behaviors.

It does take two to tango. But I am going to be very pissed at Democrats (I am one) if they pull this stunt. They have talked one way for years, and now appear poised to do the opposite? -- Or is it just another 1) GOP fear and smear job against Democrats, prompted by their recent congressional upset or 2) another historic repeat of a scenario we know so well: GOP messes things up, paints the country into a corner, then leaves the Democrats to clean up their mess?\n\nI need more information.

Because you are above debasing yourself to that low of a level.  Why treat with common, small-minded people if you don't have to?  Just let them spout-off about their inconsequential droll meanderings, smile, and excuse yourself from the conversations.\n\nConsequently, most of them are probably not real conservatives.  Real conservatives are extremely upset by the current course of the country and have nothing but contempt for the sitting administration.  These are more then likely Neo-Conservatives or Fundamentalists out to talk themselves into believing their own wasteful messages.

There are as many good republicans out there as there are "good democrats". If no democrats are good in your eyes, maybe no republicans are good in a democrat's eyes.\nAnd the democrats aren't always the ones pointing fingers. There could easily be a case for the republicans doing that.\n\nSpeaking of childish, isn't it kind of childish to threaten to move if things don't go just how you wanted them to?

You are giving them way too much credit.  They act like titty babies and whine over everything.  I doubt that will change!!  The democrats support abortion (including partial birth abortion!!), illegal immigrations, no capital punishment, gun control, freedom of speech for only them, God OUT of schools and anywhere in public.  If anyone can think of anything else by all means, post it.  I see nothing good coming from the left wing nut job liberals like Nancy Pelosi.  I will be the first one to laugh when people start complaining.  I can look at them and say "I told you so".  Unfortunately, the God loving, anti-communist Americans will have to suffer for people's pure ignorance.

OK, not a liberal, nor a democrat, but....\n\nI think you are asking why the emotional knee jerking of a range of people has hijacked a political party to, at least at one point, the verge of implosion..... \n\nA liberal, so far as I can see, is someone who, not to be rude, has let their emotions run wild and swayed their logic. hope that made sense. These are a people who are also likely to be swayed by the emotional string tugs of politicians, who happen to be in the democratic party. \n\nDon't misunderstand, I do not believe that the liberal minded people out there are evil or corrupt by nature, they simply believe in something so much that they will align themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear. I have very good friends that are liberal minded, and they are not evil, just find more 'truth' in something that others don't find truth in.... ie. class warfare, extreme environmentalism, and 'evil' corruption in big business. Most of these people tend to align into the green party more so in the democratic party, but there is a power base already in existence with in the democratic party, and they seem to gain their support there through some crafty politicians.\n\nI am more concerned with the crafty politicians that have taken control over the democratic party than I am with the people who support the democratic party. These individuals seem to like their positions and will do and say anything to keep them. Dare I say even the likes of Joe Leiberman started going down that road during his spin while running as the vice president candidate. And now that Mr. Leiberman dared reclaim his true self he was butchered by his own party. \n\nI think that is the best example of what is happening at the power levels in the democratic party, they seem to be so concerned with keeping and reclaiming power that they use the emotional ploys to attract voters. \n\nThis is just an opinion, but it explains to me why when people grow a little older they abandon their emotions for logic and start looking toward the libertarian and republican parties for a home.

With all due respect, you're a little off in your perspective.  The GOP may be guilty of many things, but hating America is definitely not one of them.  You would be closer to the mark if you said they love America with an almost fanatical air.  It's usually the Dems who are saying things along the lines of how embarrassed they are with the country, or how they don't like our system.  Rethink your perspective, read just about all of the posts on this site, and you'll see that I'm right.

Democrats are not dumb.  I know several who are very intelligent.  They just tend to be like sheep.  They believe everything any liberal says as if it where the word of God himself.  Just look at the garbage on moveon.org and you'll see what I mean.  Don't judge our democratic friends, just help educate them.

Democrats cant deal with real issues. they have to revert to tactics such as the BIG LIE, distortions, smears, creating scandals, diversionary tactics , fear-mongering, class war-fare and history revision

I don't think that liberals own political corrctness (PC).  PC is just an offspring of etiquette.  It can reach absurd levels.  When I was in college I felt surrounded by PC.  Back then it didn't have a name but I could sense it and I rebelled against it.  I used to say unpopular things in sociology class just to get a kick out of people's reactions.  For example, one time the topic had to do with rape.  I raised my hand and said that I don't know why women make such a big thing about rape.  If a girl raped me, I'd probably just lay back and enjoy it.  Of course, I didn't seriously believe this.  But I got such a kick out of the reaction of the prof. and other students!.  An example of beneficial PC is disabled people.  They used to be called handicapped.  That term comes from the cap that the disabled used to beg for money in the old days.  It was literally their handy cap.  PC changed it to disabled.  Some people didn't like that and prefer "person with a disability".  It implies that the disability does not define the whole person.  Now it's gone to the extreme of calling them "special" such as the special olympics.  To be honest with you I don't really see anything special about being a retard.  But if I was a retarded person, I think I would like to be called special, better than "a retard".  So it all depends on where you sit.  What's PC to you, may just be nice to someone else.\nPolitical Correctness is not a system or a movemement.  It is a label given to a phenomenom that was noticed and observed and given a label!  That's all it is.  I am politically correct because in my mind I think of Ridiculous Republicans.  But I don't call my censervative friends that out of PC.  I invented a word to describe conservatives:  Silliculous.  They are silly and ridiculous.  But I keep it to myself out of PC.

Democrats appear unAmerican because that is an APPEARANCE portrayed through Conservative manipulation of media and message. Conservatives are extremely disciplined and they know what they want, they know how they want to go about getting it, and they thoroughly believe what they are doing is worth whatever it takes for them to achieve it. Democrats facilitate this message because we don't know what we want and even if we did we have no idea of how to get there, all we know is we think Conservatives are mean to us and we don't understand why? All the while, Conservatives have gotten the appearance of victimhood for themselves into a science. Just read anything Newt Gingrich wrote or said about the Conservative Revolution. If you stand in the way, you'll have tire tracks down your back.

Democrats are all talk. They tend to have a very "not in my backyard" attitude about almost everything they publicly support. I agree that they are like "a boat without a rudder." I wish that wasn't the case. Our system works with two strong parties, and right now we don't have two strong parties. They need to get their act together and present someone with convictions that are truly for the good of the nation and that aren't based on popularity polls. Sadly, as of now, I just don't see it.

You know what?  I need to VENT:\n\nAll Democrats do not think alike\nAll Republicans do not think alike\nAll whites do not think alike\nAll Blacks do not think alike\nAll gays do not think alike\nAll hypocrites do not think alike\nAll women do not think alike\nAll men do not think alike\n\n\nGet the idea????\n\nI'm a super-liberal Democrat for the most part, but for cripes sake, don't you think there can be gay Republicans who don't tow the majority Rep. line??\n\nAll of these questions in "Politics" lately are not even questions; they are just bait.  Why don't you people ask something you really don't THINK you already know????\n\n\nedit:  Isn't that par for the course in this category:  I got a "thumbs down" for telling the truth!

They are in fact all in it for self gain, but Repubs go overboard with greed and power to the point of serious corruption. They do not care who or how many they hurt. Dems however do show a little heart and do have a conscience.
