Herewith, a list of people who, given the Republican Party's stated, formal platform, absolutely should not vote Republican:
--Women
Does Todd Akin mean anything to you? How about women's reproductive rights? How about equal pay for women? They're against all that.
--Blacks/African-Americans
These are the people who have publicly tried to do away with both the Civil Rights Act ("We don't need it any more") and affirmative action ("We never needed it).
--Gays
Please. They virtually hate gays and legislate and vote accordingly and repeatedly.
--Union and/or Labor supporters
They vote against every union-supporting measure that comes up, as we all know.
--Anyone from the middle-class
They've been gutting and helping to gut the middle-class for decades, since Ronald Reagan, at least, in spite of what they tell everyone otherwise.
--Likewise from the lower-classes
Ditto, here. (See "Anyone from the middle-class", above). Also, check their lack of support for welfare, Head Start programs and financing, etc., etc.
--Working-class Americans
This ties in with not supporting measures for Unions, the middle class and lower-classes. It all goes hand in hand.
If all these groups, above, vote Democratic this November, as they should, the Romney/Ryan ticket hasn't got a chance.
Here's hoping.
