Republicans Promote The Same Failed Policies – Why Do People Vote For These Idiots?

There is not a single Republican running for president right now that has a new idea to offer to the American public. Instead, they keep rehashing the same failed economic policies that have destroyed the economy on more than one occasion. So we have to ask – why would anyone vote for these people?

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

...men marrying men, a dark-skinned President, and Democrats deciding between a woman and a Jew for our next leader. They become very afraid. They think all their money will be taken away and given to lazy immigrants. They are afraid God will unleash bad weather on them if they don't vote for Republicans.

They hold a conservative world view. It is their belief system.

The voting machines? Do you trust them? I don't.

But the voting machines aren't nearly as determinative when there's' a huge turn-out. Cross your fingers and maybe some of these dolts will be looking for a job in a few years.
