The GOP's cheerful viciousness

Yet again, the GOP launches brutal personality and cultural attacks on the Democratic candidate. Yet again, Democrats seem determined to allow it to do so.

    @ Jim Montague, liked your post

    Hey Jim I liked your post on:

    YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN IF...

    This would be a great idea to expand on and circulate before and during Election Day. A lot of people I have talked to say "well, you know, I really don't follow politics" and then they just repeat what they see on the TV. Republicans that don't follow politics usually only have one or two key issues that make them think they should vote republican but are unaware of the large amount of other important issues that the Republicans say they support but truly don't. I have found though that when you can personalize the issues by showing them how it directly affects them, if their sensible, will come around to understanding that the GOP doesn’t represent the common middle class American. Only through personalizing the issues will they understand the "code words" and the negative implications they represent to the middle and lower class American. Maybe others can expand on the post to come up with more bullet points and then those who have websites can post it there. Just an idea. Anyone?
