There are a whole bunch of people out there who are hurting. Gas is expensive, they are fearful of the value of their house dropping, and they are royally p.o.'ed about the immigrant thing.
These aren't abstractions. It's not gay marriage or stem cells. These aren't "issues." They are bread and butter live-with-it-everyday type stuff and the Republicans ignore it at their peril.
well, I don't know what a political party can do about people being fearful of the value of their house dropping - can they guarantee hyper inflation of real estate prices forever?
I agree with you wholeheartedly!
Some of us are also afraid of our house being taken from us to that a developer can build another strip mall and increase tax revenue.
I didn't hear anything from the Republicrats after the Kelo decision! Only after months of people writing letters and making calls did they start to pay a small amount of lip service. THEY STOOD BY SILENTLY WHILE THE SCOTUS STRIPPED US OF OUR GOD GIVEN PROPERTY RIGHTS!
If that doesn't tell you the whole story on the party then nothing will!
