Has nothing to do with petulance...

It's an interesting psychological phenomenon. The trolls have no core principals; they're squishy moderates, pragmatists even, who will vote for the GOP no matter how down and dirty they are - look at Thad! And why? Well! The GOP candidate is less horrible than the Democrat candidate! Reid - my God, he's awful! McConnell, while he's a nasty, brutish person, he's GOP! The "R" covers a multitude of sins! The comparisons are all maintained on a carefully-tuned analog scale.

Conservatives have a moral core, and stand on principals. To the squishy moderate Republican supporter, that's bad! It makes the moderate uncomfortable, seeing us refuse to support their DemocRAT-lite candidates. As a result, we get called names, like "petulant", "uncompromising", "spoiled children" who will "cut off our nose to spite our face", etc. These aspersions soothe the moderate's conscience, as he slouches towards Gomorrah and rushes to pull the lever for yet another stab-your-back GOP candidate.

Nobody likes the lizards and nobody wants the lizards in power! But you’ve got to vote for our lizard otherwise the wrong lizard will win!

There are people who will organize and train people to infiltrate and promulgate propaganda through social media sites. They are for hire to anyone, including political parties.

If you get the impression you're being read a list of "talking points", maybe you are.

The “family” beat the dog mercilessly, starved it and treated it with cruelty and contempt. One day the dog snapped it's chain and slipped out under the fence. The family pursued the dog and attempted to entice it back. The dog refused and ran away.

Is it the dog's fault for not trusting the family or is it the family's fault for not being worthy of trust?
