They want to control the topics or stage. Like Sen. McCain who picked the town hall style because he excelled at it.
They do not like democracy in the U.S. Pres. Bush jr ignored the American will to end his war. While he worked on building so called democracy over the world. In the U.S. his idea of democracy was the decider guy.
Republican shoutotracy, they think if they can shout out the opposition.
Republicans are know it alls. They have the answers for everything, until they have act on their answers.
Republicans love to play dirty politcs. But hate if anybody insuates this or gives them a dose of their own medicine. Look at the farce of the republican V.P. Nominee.
Republicans are willing to cast the stones even though they live in glass houses.
