It goes without saying that the Republicans are losing the young and the smart, but what is most interesting is that the majority in this poll finds SOCIALISM superior to REPUBLICANISM.
Wow! And the GOPs’ entire polemic argument is based upon that word. They site Belgium and Sweden – and of course France – as examples of the kind of SOCIALISM that will destroy America. Countries where unemployment has not much changed with the recession, people are not losing their homes, there is little crime or poverty, and their health care systems are not only affordable, but result in healthier people who live longer than we do. And of course as Jon Stewart pointed out to Newt Gingrich, our military the Republicans love so much IS socialist big government.
Even better for Democrats we have Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and Rush Limbaugh out and about LOUDLY making sure there is no doubt that the Republican Party stands for war, torture, deregulation, lower taxes on the wealthy, religious intolerance, denying gays equal rights and not to forget that Evolution and Climate Change are hoaxes created by… You guessed it… The enemy of the GOP… SMART PEOPLE!
You know how their song goes; "Smart people, smart people, with their smarty pants, have no reason, no reason to live."
