Do Republicans swear at those? Ever since I started working on Democratic campaigns since 2006, every precinct captain or office manager would be dropping F-bombs left and right as long as they weren't on the phones, and at the party on Tuesday when certain results came on the TV, I heard lots of screens like "F**K YEAH!" At the GOTV rally on Monday night one speaker said we need to "Get the f**k out there and win this election." And the video of the Minnesotans United For All Families rally where the spokesperson addresses them right before the moment of victory is announced has him saying "We have f**king called 900 thousand people!" before everyone cheers. You can see the video here (great video no matter what, very powerful).

Considering that Republican campaigns are likely to contain people who are actually offended by that, I wonder how common it is.

Yup.

The field manager for the local victory center was a young guy, about 23 or 24, and he would curse like nobody's business. It was rather amusing.

No. You see, Republicans have filters that are surgically implanted into them the moment they register as Republicans. We can say shucks, gash darn, frick.. things like that. For the most part, any real Republican can swear in the same manner as Bushie would.

Basically my field director would be like 'I can't f--king believe they only gave us 150 f--king yard signs.' or like 'What kind of f--king pizza should we f--king order?' but he would only talk like that when I and my friend Lukas were around. Never in front of people older than him.

No, I've never seen anyone curse at a Republican event. Probably because anyone under 25 would be there in suit and tie trying to look more mature than they actually were. Everyone else would probably be 50 years of age or up.

Yes. I was at a party, and part of the "inner circle" (as the local TV put it) still with Adam Hasner at the hotel in the early morning hours.

Yes. One thing some may not know on here is that Republicans are actually pretty normal people, most of us anyways. I've never heard the f-bomb be dropped, but I'll hear words like INKS and INKS all the time.

Yes... I'm so popular, even candidates have been known to drop my name when they lose (or sometimes win).

If I had a campaign, there'd be tons of swearing in it.
