Pure projection for liberal scumbag politician to make such a ridiculous statement.
"Pure projection for liberal scumbag politician to make such a ridiculous statement."
Ahhh that's the word I was looking for. "Projection". That is the first thing that came into my mind when I heard him say this earlier on the radio. He is falsely accusing Republicans of EXACTLY what is true about Democrats.
Projection: Projection is one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud and still acknowledged today. According to Freud, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else. For example, a person in psychoanalysis may insist to the therapist that he knows the therapist wants to rape some women, when in fact the client has these awful feelings to rape the woman.
My family was stunned to hear that the Democrats in Masachusetts really believed that the GOP was for the idle rich. My parents( dec) and entire family voted Democrat all their life. They expected us to be Democrats. We would often hear that Democrats are the party of the working man.
The Republicans are only for the rich. One thing that was different for the old time Democrats , many were more conservative than todays Republicans. They would never believe what has happened to the Democrats today. Howard Dean is spouting the old crap we all heard as kids growing up in New England.
