Republicans have been dominating the media and keeping, one and only one issue in the forefront of America\u2019s consciousness.  They are making ObamaCare look lie a good issue for them by using the confusion from the Obama Administration failure to get the web site online on time, their own Republican lies, and Big Insurance lies and scams to generate fear in the American people.  What we need to realize is that ObamaCare is just one very temporary issue, and hammer at all the other issues in which Republicans are completely out of step with the American people.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"GOPVoting\"<\/p>\n

Republicans are out of touch with much of the country on social issues such as gay marriage and abortion, according to new poll findings from Bloomberg<\/a> released late Thursday.<\/p>\n

While 55 percent of Americans \u2014 including 7 in 10 young people \u2014 support the right of gay and lesbian couples to get married, 52 percent of Republicans are opposed. <\/p>\n

The poll also showed that 40 percent of Republicans want state legislatures to continue to push for laws that limit abortion, nearly double the 22 percent of Americans who feel that way\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While this poll is a clear indication that Republicans are out of touch with America on this issue, Republican politicians, pundits and propagandists are so extreme that they are out of touch with most Republican voters on most issues.<\/font><\/p>\n

Rachel Maddow illustrated this point by comparing public opinion and Republican voter opinion with what the Republican Congress and specifically John Boehner (R-$) with Peter Welch (D-VT).<\/font><\/p>\n

Republicans are right that government is a failure, but only when Republicans govern.<\/font>  60% of Republican voters support ENDA. 86% of Republican voters support immigration reform. 58% of Republican voters support raising the minimum wage. 81% of Republican voters support background checks. 53% of Republican voters support the Buffet rule. That\u2019s just scratching the surface.  It’s up to us to get the facts out, because the most od themedia won’t do it. We need to remind people that there is more than just one issue.<\/font><\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re a billionaire, a corporate criminal, or a hatemonger, even if you\u2019re a Republican, the Republican Party dies NOT represent YOU!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
