(32,723 posts)This election for Republicans is broken down into three basic groups. The ones who hate Obama. The ones who feel they are fighting for the concept of working for a living because they think it's under assault by pro-welfare types who believe working people should pay for them to be lazy. And the third group are the types who worship business types and think government should be run like a business and the President should be a CEO.
All three of those types are basing their vote on what they hear from the Right Wing and they aren't going to have their minds changed.
Keep in mind that this represents a minority of voters.
Republicans used to know this and used to at least TRY to lure in people of color and women but they act like they not only don't need those people anymore but they don't even WANT them, like it will taint their purity if their guy gets Latinos to vote for him.
They're calling BUSH a "Liberal" now.
And we are supposed to believe it's close?
