How did conservatives manage to hijack political rhetoric in the US?
Q. How did the party of corruption make themselves into the 'moral majority' and why have the Democrats not only allowed this, but now use the rhetoric to describe themselves?

A. It's come from many directions. They saw the hippie movement and were afraid. The first attack came in the 80s on the school system. They removed Civics classes, and continue to remove electives and expand Math and Reading. (Just the basics, don't think, just spout basic facts over and over) Then came the Radio. Rush Limbaugh's radio program lost money all of it's first 10 years. How does a radio program that's losing money stay on long enough to develop a zombie following?

What good is political rhetoric and name calling?
Q. It is depressing when I come to this website to answer questions and the majority of what I say is right or left talking points, rhetoric and name calling. We all understand that the left and right disagree on a number of issues. Does it help either side or any argument to sit here and point fingers and call each other names? We are in this together so Republican or Democrat, why not ask serious questions and have some intelligent conversation?

A. It's politics. We have been torn apart for so many years thinking the other is so wrong that no one takes the time to actually listen to the other side. You are right. If people were more worried and concerned about the issues at hand and figuring out how to fix them and not so much at name calling, dirt digging up, finger pointing... something might actually get done.

A. Flaw, the difference is that everyone expects democrats to bail someone out. When a democrat says they want this amount of money so this company doesnt fold, no one raises an eyebrow. This is what we expect. When a republican, such as president bush, and the rest of the republicans in congress say that 'we are all about free market... but this time, we believe in socialism' it is completely against what they run on. "Its only socialism when free markets are doing good."
