On the eve of the 2014 election, “The Daily Show” took a moment on Monday to clarify the core messages Republicans and Democrats are sending out to voters.

In a segment titled, “Democalypse 2014: Come On Republicans, Just Go Ahead And Take Over Already,” host Jon Stewart turned to the experts at Fox News to determine just what the Democrats have to offer.

Fox host Bill O’Reilly and contributor Charles Krauthammer agreed the answer was simple: Democrats have no good arguments this election season and the only reason someone would vote for the party would be, in O’Reilly words, “emotion.”

“If you’re looking for rational argument about how best to govern, you have to turn to the Republicans!” Stewart said.

The host then rolled a series of GOP ads featuring grainy images of ISIS fighters and fearmongering over “Ebola inside the U.S.”

“Vote to keep terrorists off U.S. soil,” one ad concluded. “Vote Republican.”

“I thought that was a very powerful and cogent, essayistic argument,” Stewart said with a smile.

“Move over ‘Hope and Change,’ and welcome ‘Vote For Us Or Get Beheaded While Pooping Blood!'” he added.

  2. Beyond their Deranged Obama Syndrome memes, culture war red herrings, and freakouts and banshee-shrieks about how much they NEED to win to repeal Obamacare, do the RethugliKKKlans have ANY fu*king platform from which they intend to govern in any way? ☜(゚ヮ゚☜) (*rhetorical question)

    When it comes to governing, Republicans and Cons are like dogs who chase cars: They bark, yap, snarl, growl, snap at the tires, and shit on the pavement but, when they catch the vehicle, they can’t begin to figure out how to drive the damned thing that they claim to hate yet chase with relentless, blind, mindless and stupid passion.

  3. What is it that you call people that enjoy pain? Oh yeah, Republican voters.

    If you say that you don’t want big government in your life but really you want them right next to you in your bedroom, you must be a Republican.
    If you claim to be all about FREEDOM but want to restrict everyone else, you must be a Republican.
    If you are afraid of everything and need to carry guns that are really the thing to fear, you must be a Republican.
    If you claim to follow a God that preaches hatred of others and despise of the less fortunate, you must be a Republican.
    If you believe that corporations are people and giving them more FREEDOM is the ticket to be trickled down on, you must be a Republican.
    If you deny common facts, proven science, your inner self, Republican failure, you must be a Republican.

  4. good luck today, Democrats…as a Canadian that’s all I can do to help.
