"Four out of five Americans don’t trust GOP"

Four out of five Americans don’t trust GOP

"SNIP...................................



Just 19% of Americans have confidence in Republicans, while a whopping 80% do not.

A new poll that found Americans with serious doubts about all their elected officials, but Republicans scored particularly badly—even with their own voters.

Just 36% of self-identified Republican voters say they have faith that their lawmakers will make good decisions.

They’re damning numbers for a party that’s hoping to retake the Senate in 2014, hold onto the House of Representatives, and locate a promising candidate capable of beating the Democratic matriarch Hillary Clinton.

When you vote nationwide and don't go by the gerrymandered line drawn up by the likes of Crook Tom Delay their candidate is unable to get the votes. In a straight line voting districts there would be less Republicans in Congress. The GOP has pulled a lot of tricks, they count on the old white crowd to vote and prevent Democrats from being elected. This is where the Democrats have to take charge, build grassroots campaigns and GOTV. The GOP have tried to twist the War on women and give lots of reasons except for what the problem is. Birth control is not our problem but low wages, choices controlled by ourselves and not to do what a bunch of old white men tells us. We want them out of our bedrooms, out of our doctors offices and mind their own business.
