Why do republicans give a thumbs down to verifiable facts?

They can't handle the truth. That does seem to be true. But then again when the truth constantly shows how the leaders of their party keep doing things wrong and getting caught it would be difficult to stomach.

As a "top contributor" I would expect an example? What facts can you verify that "hurt" our feelings? Is it the "consensus" on global warming? Or perhaps the fact only 10% of American's pay the majority of the tax bill? I'm curious was to which facts hurt our feelings? Maybe it was the one that our media only reports negative events in Iraq to hurt our own cause?

I often wonder the same thing, and not just about Republicans. If you even list a verifiable source, you get a thumb down. I believe people say it's not a good answer, because it doesn't match their ideology.

Usually, I reserve the thumb for color arrogance, uncalled for bashing and denigrating of any group of people, any other blatantly wrong attitude toward society, and blatant misinformation (like someone claiming the Jews were behind the American Revolution).

It's not just the conservatives, my friend. I get them every time I post the FACT that Dems have won precisely three of the last ten presidential elections, and each time with a centrist. Their biggest defeats? 1972, 1984, and 1988, when they ran the candidates the furthest to the left.

As you say, I guess some feelings are easily hurt.

The truth hurts the libs global warming the big scam ever there just trying to find out what are the lies and what is fact.

Why do liberals ask questions that cannot be support with cited examples?

Why the constant "If the dumb repubs did this..." "Why can't the right-wing nutjobs do that.."

Ask a question without any political bend to it nor any assumptions on people's beliefs and see if you actually receive usable information.

Look at the questions I have asked..

The truth is the truth and does not hurt. So many things postied as "fact" is opinion, distortion or taken our of context. That is where the problem lies.

Actually, I've never seen where many if any of you lieberals have ever come up with any truth. Go sit in the corner little kid.

Which fact are you talking about?

Unemployment is at a record low of 4.4 %?

Man made Global Warming is a Myth

Liberalism will eventually take down America?

Which fact?

And what verifiable fact would you be referring to?
