The Difference between Democrats and Republicans.
I have given this quite a bit of thought lately, and have come to one conclusion that in my mind explains the difference. If you listen to what the Dems say its always and attack on a person rarely if ever do they attack a specific idea. Listen to the President he doesn't attack Republican (conservative) ideas he attacks George Bush. Jeanine Gar(whatever her name is) doesn't attack the idea of to much taxation, she attacks the people at the "tea parties" as rascist. Even the books the left write are attacks on people and not ideas, look at the all the Bush attack books, you can pick them up and read if you want (don't buy them, why encourage the people from the short bus), but again they attack people and not ideas.
Contrast this to the way consevatives present themselves its all about the ideas, at least for most. I know Ann Coulter and others attack individuals from time to time, but even when she does she is trying to show a contrast with the way people treat one side as compared to the other. Look at the books that are popular amongst conservatives they are about ideas and not attacks on people. Liberty and Tyranny comes to mind, I don't know if Dr. Levin has considered this at all but the reason why most liberal books are failures and his is so successful is because it is not an attack on people but the expression ideas and the defense of ideals.
I don't know how many agree with this view. I would appreciate all comments.
