rightwinger made a great thread about how badass the rightwing politicians want to come across by each of them having photos of them shooting guns. It reminded me of just how emotional the rightwing ideology is. Republican politicians focus on style and symbolism to promote their presidency. Rather than simply saying "I support the 2nd amendment", they resort to going out of their way to show them shooting guns in photos/videos. They think it creates some sort of mystique for their base and they are kind of right. See, rather than the republican base being interested in actual polices their ideal candidate would tout, they instead want to see propaganda like crap. For we all know those candidates held those guns as long as it took to take the photos.

Seriously how are those photos any different from what Putin was trying to do with riding shirtless on horseback? It's all about machismo. The republican/Putin base love that machismo shit. There aren't any pesky facts and policies to memorize. It's all idolization.

Just to be clear, democrats favor gun ownership. The difference is you don't see a shitload of dems posing with guns. Sure Obama has one, but at least he didn't try to make it part of his election campaign like pubs do.

So the other crap republicans rely on are flowery speeches about freedom, the constitution, and good ole' warm American apple pie! It's all fluff and no substance. They are either going on and on about how much they love America, or they are bitching about Obama. They don't offer any substantial policies. It's all emotion. That's what their base prefers.

What's Ted Cruz's plan for becoming president besides gutting ObamaCare and lowering taxes on the wealthy? NOTHING. Do any of these republican nominees have an actual agenda?
 
They are big on negative emotion, fear especially, scare tactics have worked so well on them for so long that optimism makes them angry.

You mean the picture of obama shooting the shotgun.....that picture...or the photo op of john kerry when he was running for President going to get a hunting license....where he said...Where do I get me a hunting license or some attempt at sounding ignorant...as he sees gun owners, and 2014 was the democrat year of the gun as they all actually had pictures taken with guns...right..........hmmm....since you are arguing from emotion, and not on facts, truth or reality.....

here you go...

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.

How many democratic examples can you think of? Just those two? Only Kerry used it as part of his campaign.

Here we have another case of a liberal blaming others for what HE or SHE does and expecting the other side to defend the accusation...
Nice try genius..
This is real easy....
You libs begin every idea with "I feel"....Please explain how that is NOT emoting.

Your side is desperate because you know you don't have a viable candidate for POTUS....So you're on the attack.
you have nothing in which to support. So you resort to screeching about what you oppose.

Please...we have the internet now...here is leftwing Slate.com.....and all the candidates who embraced guns....I would look up their pictures but it is late....

Guns ads and the NRA For candidates posing with rifles and pistols has become an arms race.



Democrat Natalie Tennant says that doesn’t matter. “I grew up on a farm surrounded by guns, with my brothers, going hunting and shooting,” Tennant bragged in their Oct. 7 debate. “Having a muzzle loader myself that I use quite frequently,” said Tennant, “I don’t need the NRA” to tell West Virginians which candidate loves guns.

2. I own guns, so I know background checks aren’t a hassle.I have two guns,” independent Senate candidate Greg Orman claimed in an Oct. 15 debate in Kansas. “When I bought those guns, I had to go through a background check. And I don’t believe it was intrusive.” So it’s no big deal, Orman concluded, to apply the same rule to sales at gun shows.


3. I’m an environmentalist because I love guns. In an Oct. 13 Senate debate, Montana Democrat Amanda Curtis was pressed to explain her F rating from the NRA. She turned the question toward her opponent’s weak environmental record. “My husband and I, just in the week before the nominating convention, were out shooting the Browning 12-gauge light that his grandfather, who recently passed away, left to us,” said Curtis. “Montanans should be much more worried about … accessing our public lands so that we can use our firearms.”

4. I don’t own a gun, but my spouse does. Aimee Belgard, the Democratic nominee for Congress in New Jersey’s 3rd District, favors gun restrictions. But she claims a family connection to the other side. “I fully understand and appreciate the Second Amendment,” she assured gun owners in an Oct. 2 debate. “My husband actually owns guns.”

I’m from York County, where the first day of deer season is a holiday,” Democratic candidate Tom Wolf pointed out in an Oct. 8 gubernatorial debate in Pennsylvania. Those roots, he argued, made him the best person to lead a statewide conversation about legitimate and illegitimate uses of firearms.

6. I don’t own a gun, but my mom used to shoot one. Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado doesn’t claim to own a gun. Instead, he reminisces about his mom. “I strongly support the Second Amendment,” Udall declared in an Oct. 7 debate. “My mother was the person who taught me how to handle a gun. She was a Coloradan. She was a member of the NRA.”

7. I don’t just own a gun. I have a concealed weapons permit. “I have always believed in the Second Amendment,” Nikki Haley, the Republican governor of South Carolina, pledged in an Oct. 21 debate. “And I believe in it because I’m a certified weapons permit holder myself.” Moments later, one of Haley’s challengers announced that he, too, had a concealed weapons permit.



10.
I shoot better than you do. Eight months ago, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posed for pictures at a conference of conservative activists while holding a rifle. His challenger, Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, responded by cutting an ad in which she flaunted her skeet shooting. Grimes ended the commercial with a dig at McConnell: “Mitch, that’s not how you hold a gun.”

11. I don’t just have the gun. I have the gear. Joe Dorman, the Democratic nominee for governor of Oklahoma, brags about his A-plus rating from the NRA and calls his Republican opponent soft on the Second Amendment. “I’ll be a fiscally responsible, pro-gun, pro-education governor,” Dorman says in campaign ads. To prove it, he poses in front of a pickup truck, wearing hunting gear and holding a rifle.

12. I don’t just have a gun. I use it to express my anger. Four years ago, Democrat Joe Manchin won a Senate seat in West Virginia by sending a bullet through a billthat would have restricted carbon emissions. Now Manchin has copycats. In Iowa, Republican Joni Ernst fired a handgun at a target representing the Affordable Care Act. In Alabama, Republican Will Brooke shot up the actual bill. In Alaska, Republican Dan Sullivan blew holes in a TV set. In Washington state, Democrat Estakio Beltran shot a fake elephant. In Montana, Republican Matt Rosendale fired areal bullet at an imaginary “government drone.”




14. I’ve shot more animals than you have. At a Sept. 14 debate, Nebraska Republican Senate candidate Ben Sasse bragged about having the NRA’s endorsement. Democrat Dave Domina dismissed Sasse as an ignorant newbie. “Nobody on this panel, I’ll bet, has enjoyed shooting more pheasants than I have,” said Domina. “I love owning a gun.”

15. My gun is bigger than your gun. Pat Roberts, a Republican senator from Kansas, doesn’t own a gun. But don’t mess with him: “The last gun I had was an M-1 in the United States Marine Corps.” Martha McSally, the Republican nominee for Congress in Arizona’s 2nd District, says she’s a big supporter of the Second Amendment: “I’ve shot the 33 mm in combat.” But Republican Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado wins this year’s award for flashing metal. During an Oct. 6 debate, Coffman and his Democratic opponent, Andrew Romanoff, were asked when they had last fired a gun and what type it was. Romanoff went first: “Gosh, I think in high school we had rifle practice.” Coffman followed: “Expert with the M-16, sharpshooter with the 45 and 9 mm.” I cringed and looked away. I can’t stand seeing death.

Hmmmmmm...seems like a lot of democrats are responding with emotion...you can look up their press materials for the pictures of them with guns.....

Hillary is a viable candidate. The only one I'll admit. Repubs have no one.

The Keystone XL pipeline was denied by Obama based on emotion rather than facts.

High Volume Horizontal Hydraulic Fracturing is regulated by emotion, not facts.

Witness the New York State ban. Witness the Federal Regulations regarding same.

You got it backwards, Billy Bub. Fuck you.

Gun control is not about emotions, it's about 30,000 dead bodies a year.

No...it is about only 8-9,000 actual gun murders vs. 1.6 million times a year guns are used to stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives...plus the fact..that more Americans own guns...and the gun murder rate has gone down, not up, and the gun accident rate has gone down, not up...

Those are facts, not emotion....lumping suicide in with gun murders to get a higher gun death rate is emotion....not rational thought......
 
They are big on negative emotion, fear especially, scare tactics have worked so well on them for so long that optimism makes them angry.

Cause the democrats aren't trying to scare the elderly by saying republicans are going to take away their social security. And aren't trying to scare women with their b.s. war on women campaign. And aren't trying to scare minorities with talk of Jim crow laws that democrats put on the books and blame republicans for. They aren't trying to scare people with non existent global warming.

There isn't a single issue that democrats arent arguing with fear.
