GOP only helps rich white males

If you’re a woman, here are things they’ve done and are doing.

What an ignorant rant Suzanne. No good man has ever paid attention to you so you hate them all, is this how it works in your world? Intolerant and bigoted makes this progressive gal happy I guess.

Yeah- anyone who isn't a white male should vote for OBUMMER.

America is not fooled this time.

Romney wins by a landslide not seen since Reagan.
