The same reason people increasingly purchase imported goods.The majority of people just don't GAS about the decline in US manufacturing or the increase in illegal immigration. It's been obvious for decades.
True, but Bush was the leader of the Republican Party, and illegal immigration has in fact created a situation now where it’s nearly impossible for the GOP to win on a national level due to demographics alone, before any campaigning even takes place. And that means that America is screwed not only because the Democrats have become the Party of anti-everything that America has ever stood for, but also because without competition and accountability, failure is assured.
