Outside Of Their Base - Is There A Voting Group The Repubs Haven't Pissed Off?.......

Really - now they filibustered a bill to provide veterans benefits. They've pissed off women, the LBGT, immigrants, middle class, unions, etc - who besides their base haven't they pissed off?

How can they possibility win in 2014 - even with gerrymandering - they have a lot of this country against them.

For so many the thinking goes something like this....
Ouch! The GOP just give me a swift kick in the crotch.
I hates it when that happens.
But I hates those people more!
I want to see those people's eyes water.
Ya know what?
The GOP hates those people.
The GOP wants to see those people's eyes water.

It is the will of god that I will help the GOP destroy that evil.
I WILL vote Teapublican.

Soon as I can walk upright again that is.

Seems to me that there are more people that have been pissed off by the Repub Party (or should I say pissed on).

I know that the money people are backing the Repubs - but is that enough to win?

Keep in mind that there are too many people who don't keep informed and tend to blame the president for anything bad that happens.
