I think the question raised here is simple. When we discuss the issues, the libs lose every time. They rely on an unending attack on the character of any conservative. I give you President Bush and Rush as evidence. The effective attacks were of a personal nature. Remember that President Bush was stupid and Rush was a drug abuser. Now President Bush has a Harvard MBA and Rush had a fraction of the substance abuse problem as do many politicians, but don’t bother me with the truth. Because of this, conservatives tend to be more civil.
Libs also rely on a “cult of personality” to achieve and maintain power. The two best examples of this are Presidents Kennedy and Obama. They rely on a cult of personality to lead. The media is a willing accomplice.
That’s what I think, anyway.
