Here are the results of our \u201cWho do Republicans represent?\u201d poll.  The poll is not statistically valid, because Politics Plus is not demographically matched to the overall US population.  In this case, I think most of us got it wrong, myself included.<\/font><\/p>\n

Way WAY too easy!<\/font><\/p>\n

(But I’d like to chat with anyone who picked "Nobody". Hell, they represent WAY TOO MANY somebodies.)<\/font><\/p>\n

That was very easy. They represent almost everyone but sane, normal people. <\/font><\/p>\n

That was not easy for me. There are so many negatives in their base – gun nuts, homophobes, corporate criminals, billionaires,misogynists, bigots, secessionists, and teahadists. How to pick just one? Hmmmmm.<\/font><\/p>\n

Well that was easy, although, I almost checked nobody, but then that would have excluded all the things I had already checked. They sure don’t represent me, and not just because I am a Canuck!<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I voted for Billionaires and Corporate Criminals.  I dismissed the obvious choices, because representing someone means to act in their best interest.  In most of these categories, Republicans are just pandering to their hate and\/or their InsaniTEA to fool them into voting against their own best interests.<\/font><\/p>\n

I think I was wrong, to include billionaires, because many billionaires support legislation for them to pay their fair share.  In my opinion, the only ones Republicans truly represent are corporate criminals, such as the Koch Brothers and Lord Willard, and that includes those billionaires that own the Republican Party.<\/font><\/p>\n
