Super Tuesday: The Not So Super Republican Party Piss People Off

Today is Super-Tuesday, and the Republican candidates for President and their party are working hard to alienate and piss off voters every day. How are they achieving this at such a rapid pace. It’s the candidates themselves, and their extreme views and fringe positions that are creating problems for the party and driving the negative perception.

What do we know about where the Republican party stands, on the important issues facing our nation today?

• We know that they think Wall Street, banks and the financial services sector is over regulated, and that they should regulate themselves. The sub-prime mortgage crisis never happened as far as they’re concerned.

• We know that many in the GOP are pushing for military intervention in Syria, and Iran.

• We know that they think our nation’s corporations, and the wealthy, are over-taxed.

• We know that they think that high taxes and over-regulation , created the recession, and "Obamacare" is the reason why the job creators aren’t creating jobs.

• We know that they think oil companies should continue to receive government subsidies (corporate welfare), and that oil drilling is the answer to all of our problems.

• We know that they think it’s just silly to invest in our future, whether it’s related to our infrastructure, education, or any other program that creates jobs or provides a service to the people.

• We know that they think that it’s stupid to invest in the education of our children.

• We know that they think the American people are not entitled to affordable health-care, or unaffordable health-care, and that repealing the new health care program they derisively call “Obamacare”, is their number one priority.

• We know that they're not in favor of government dollars subsidizing contraceptives, or birth control, and that if you can’t afford either then you’re shit out of luck.

• We know that they think Social Security and Medicare are ripe for cuts, and propose eliminating Medicare as we know it.
• We know that they think our military should still be occupying Iraq, and that they are very interested in preserving the military-industrial complex and the status quo.

• We know that they think illegal immigrants are bankrupting state governments, and that we should build a Great Wall of China, along our southern border with Mexico.

• We know that they think "homosexuals" choose their sexuality, and that their bigotry and hatred is just a reflection of what scripture has taught them, and if it’s in the Bible it has to be right (no pun intended - ba dum dum). They don't believe that LGBT rights are civil rights.

• We know that they don’t care about the environment, and that they want to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency. They’d like to dismantle or repeal any law or regulation, related to the environment, and if people get sick and die, you’d better be in the 1% so you can pay for your health-care.

If you’re an immigrant, a woman, LGBT, or a person of color, a student, an environmentalist, or a senior citizen, then the Republican party doesn’t really care about you.

The only class of people in the population that the Republicans haven’t targeted are heterosexual white males. Though if you’re a heterosexual white male, chances are you care about an immigrant, a woman, someone who is LGBT, or a person of color, a student, or an environmentalist, or a senior citizen - so maybe the the Republican party isn’t for you either.

Regardless, they'd still like your money. Today's GOP is sorely out of touch with the people. For them - politics is about the purse strings - and straight white middle aged men love to give them cash. How surprising - their stupidity reflects that it all boils down to money.

This is not a prescription for victory - the Republican party will keep pissing people off until November 2012.
