When they all march lockstep and vote (or not vote) according to what their leadership tells them to do, instead of voting for what their constituents tell them to do, they are leaning towards fascism (notice the trouble the dems have in getting all of their people to vote...not too much goose-stepping going on there). Cap that off with their across the board favoritism of corporations over citizens. That makes them Corporatists. Corporatism is fascism. I don't think I heard a peep from the right against the recent SCOTUS decision to allow Corporations unlimited ability to donate in elections. Even if their speeches and such were not pro-Corp...their silence was an acquiescence to this and tacit agreement. The republican party is very fascist. Now to clarify, I do not mean Adolph Hitler, let go cook some Jews kind of fascists(though there is plenty of elements of racism alive and well in the republican party)...I am referring to pure fascism...Italian fascism...the corporate state.
Do you deny that republican policies are corporatist and favor corporations over the individual? How many pro-life republicans are there vs. pro-choice? How many republicans backed the Faith based charity act knowing full well that it is stacked for Christianity. How many republicans are against gay marriage vs. those for the freedom of their fellow Americans? The non-Christian side of these equations are going to be slim. The party has been and still is firmly in the camp of fundamentalist Christianity (the American Taliban), whose goal is to turn this country into a theocracy. Are you trying to say that the Religious Right has nothing to do with Republican polices?

Not all Republicans are fascists or even Christian. Not all Christians try to cram laws down people's throats. And on the other side, not all Democrats are socialists. You dilute your argument when you overstate the case. On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 1:03 PM, Eric Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > > I vote for a lot of different candidates...just not republican.
