Republicans go to rallies, go on Fox, and they tell everyone that the Democrats are going to take their guns, raise their taxes and kill Grandma. The claim that the Democrats want government to control everything. Tell you how to live your life. Tell you how you cannot make it by yourself, that you need government help. None of these claims are even remotely true. Republican leaders know that it is not true, but they do not care.
President George W. Bush said that he would have signed an extension of the assault weapons ban had it been brought to his desk. Nobody has proposed legislation to re-instate now. Taxes have gone down for 98% of Americans since President Obama took office. True, they are going to go up on January 1, 2011 if nothing is done, but that "tax hike" was passed by a Republican Congress.
It is actually the expiration of tax cuts passed in 2001 and 2003 that had sunset provisions to hide the costs. I am not going to dignify the kill Grandma charge with a defense.
The Democrats do not want the government to control everything- regulation is not control, oh and look how well deregulation has worked. Republicans are the ones who want to tell you who you can sleep with and what you must do even if you are raped. Offering help is not the same as saying you need it.
The Republicans are the people who tell their kids that there actually is a monster under the bed that will eat them if they turn off the light. They also tell them that Democrats want to call them racists for being afraid of the child eating monster.
