I Was Wondering If People Here On DU Think That The Majority Of Americans Know That......

the Repugs are trying to run down the clock on the economy and make Obama look bad for the election?

We here know that this is what the Repugs are doing - but what about the rank and file American out there. Do they realize that this is what 's being done?

If not - how can the Dems make sure that this message gets out that the Repugs are purposely trying to sabotage the President.

or the Republicans who represent these corporations always want a competitive job market to drive down wages. No matter who is president, this is part of how they represent big business. Just as they use race for political gain. Ask yourself why race doesn't play an issue in sports. But in politics they will use anything to divide and conquer.

do realize it, and are all for it. They want the black Muslim out of the White House no matter what it takes to do it. If destroying the economy is what it takes to get him out, so be it, they say. God's party - the republicans - will fix it later, with a republican at the helm and Jesus guiding him.

Most of these are my in-laws. I despise them.

There is a group of people who get their news only from FOX and right wing talk radio. If they ready any newspapers or magazines they are only the right wing ones. We can talk all we want and they will not hear us.
If by chance these people do hear any information to the contrary they scream it is the liberal media.

How to fight this? I don't know how to educate a person who enjoys being uneducated.
