Republican Party: Race-baiting, fear-mongering, election-machine rigging, voter suppression, gay-baiting, gender-baiting, war-mongering, and flat-out lying have not worked. How about you try to listen to what the American people want for a change? I'll give you some clues. We want Citizen's United overturned by constitutional amendment. We want American jobs and manufacturing protected and wages to be sufficient that we can have enough time to spend some with our kids and afford to educate them. We want an end to the upward re-distribution of wealth, so all our money is floating around the economy and not sitting in an off-shore bank account. We want personal freedoms and restraint on the ability of the government to monitor our activity. We want good roads, schools and bridges, fire departments, police departments. We want to be more focused on nation building here in America and less focused on breaking and then fixing other countries. (How many new schools have we built in Afghanistan in the past 10 years and how many have we built in Illinois?) We want an end to discrimination against women, gays, and minorities. We disagree about abortion, but most of agree that we do not want laws re-written by every new congress or supreme court.
I really hope you'll stop trying to force your minority agenda down our throats and start reflecting what the people want. Not just the 0.1%, but all Americans. That may help you win more elections.
