Many (old-school) Republicans like to entertain the idea/illusion that their party in particular strives to perpetuate and protect the old American ways and spirit, I suppose.
Republican captains that act like hulks and buffoons is subordinate to that (imagined) cause, I guess.
Anyhow, it's all a show to distract and mislead, no matter which political current is represented.
The media outside of the USA are mostly more sober and less theatrical in comparison with loony America. ;)
Looking from a European perspective at the way the media in general operates in the USA, it often strikes me as rather overdone, exorbitant and theatrical. It often has a strange, unreal kind of feel to it, I would add to that.

I feel pity for you Americans, Elizabeth. Hang in there you Americans! Well, I'm sure not only America has to endure a lot nowadays, although, obviously, many weird, outrageous, and bothersome things happen over there in the States. America could also be looked upon as a giant laboratory, maybe.
There was a time I more or less thought that pretty much all Americans were stupid, but nowadays I have come to know there are also Americans who are not stupid and that there is difference indeed. lol
Also the overall gun issue in the USA is something that I don't really understand. Guns are illegal here, and I really cannot say I miss them.

Republicans are against gay marriage too. Who cares if they get married. It isn't hurting anyone so why be against it. Bill O' Reilly even made a stupid comment about that. He said if you let gay people get married then the next thing is people will be marrying animals. He didn't do his research. People are already marrying animals, blowup dolls, and even one woman married the Eiffel Tower. Who cares who and what people marry. It's not hurting anyone. (Richard)

May they TOO know the hell that is marriage. We can all share in THAT - can we not? lol. I think they're after the bennies!
The Republicans/Libertarians don't have a moral leg to stand on. I'd be embarrassed frankly, if I was forced to argue their side of the argument. Only in abstract theory do their arguments slightly hold up.
Filter, Europeans are propagandized with "superiority- complex" brainwashing while Americans are getting "beam-wave" schizoid scalar into our craniums. Left to our own devices we're as clever as the next.
Remember, its important for the NWO to destroy America and its inhabitants first.

The common sense pundits of society. Bleh. We need more critical thinking pundits like Peter Schiff.

I first heard the, "let everyone share in the hell that is marriage" bit from Randy Rhodes while she was on Air America Radio. I don't think she coined it though. It cracked me up and I never forgot it.
mmasterson, I agree we need to listen to more low drama critical thinking pundits and not listen to the emotional propagandists. Still, the "rational" ones never go far enough - or they'd lose the mike.
